Syllabus
<p>Liquor law — Refusal of licenses — Associate judges — Bias of judges.</p> <p>The action of a license court consisting of a president judge and two associate judges unlearned in the law in refusing a liquor license will not be reversed by the appellate court, because of a charge that prior to the election of the associate judges, newspaper advertisements and other publications had been issued to the effect that the candidates, if elected, would refuse all liquor licenses, where there is no evidence to show that such publications had been authorized by the candidates or made with their sanction, and the associates deny that they were biased, and assert that they had done nothing to disqualify themselves and the president judge finds that they were not biased, by refusing an order to disqualify them.</p>
