galbusiness can be done, except
to adjourn, or compel the at
tendance of absent members"
1t will be plainly seen that
here the Court in declaring the
actual number Of a quorum, dis
cusses what less than quorum
Of the "House" may do and has
no reference whatever to a quo
rum of the Representatives
elect as its plain language ex-
presses.
The bold, bad, desperate de-
sign Of the worst Fusionists is
to get the fraudulent claimants
to seats counted in against the
Law. to assemble in the House
Of Representatives, and assume
the Power to send for ''absent
members" Let every man who
receives a message or sum-
mons. answer that there are
mo members" until a quorum
appears and are qualified, that
even those who send the sum-
mons are not members" and
cannot themselves be "sworn
in" until a quorum appears.
And then let them know def
nitely that they cannot have a
quorum of the House until they
obey the mandate of the SUI
prcmc Court, and until the
fraudulent claimants give up
their seats to the honest men
whom the People elected. Gen
tlcmcn Conspirators, you cam
not have honest Representa-
tives-clect to help you to a
quorum in order to sustain a
fraudulent organization of the
House.
And if any Representative
elect is molested or ANNOYED BY
any message or summons from
the meeting of the fraudulent
claimants in the House of Rep
rescntatives, let him warn the
bearer of the summons, that he
will be sued for trespass on his
rights. The whole House when
fully organized has no power to
send for IA Rcprcscntative-elect
I'm til he is swO,n IN and each
Reprcsentative-elect has the
right to choose his own time
when he will be sworn in.

The Opinion Of the Court.

From the Bangor Wing and Courier
There is no need that we should review the
answers in detail. as every citizen will wish
to read them for himself. 1t is enough to saw
that they cover every important point of the
counting- out programme, and on every point
stamp the conspiracy with the condemnation
of the law. The judgment Of the Court
sweeps the ground entirely out from under
the feet of the conspirators. and leaves them
no basis or pretense of law to stand upon.
and no shred of legal justification for dis
guise.
In the light Of these clear and comprehen-
sive decisions of the Supreme Court the
counting out conspiracy will be deprived of
all the excuses it has paraded before the pub
lie, and IT will no longer be able to retain the
countenanee of any honorable or patriotic
men of intelligence in any part of the land.
by failure to recognize and respect the
voice OF the Court the conspirators will vjrtu-
ally declare themselves outlaws and bandits
and prove their intention Of inauguratiny an.

The decisions furnish the strongest yindi
cation of the wisdom and honesty of Mr.
Sproul and other members who have refused
to countenance the great fraud. and also ot
those respectable democrats who have re-
fused to sanction the villainy that robbed the
people of their rights
The decisions of the Supreme Court plain.

trying to persuade Representa-
tivcs-elect that less than a quo
rum Of Kepresentatives-elect
may compel their attendance.
Hear the Constitution and
the Laws on the subject. The
Maine Constitution. Art. 4, Sec.
3, reads thus:
each house shall be the
Judges ofthc elections and quail
Ifications Of its own members,
and majority shall constitute
Il quorum to do business: but
smaller number may adjourn
from day to day, and may compel
the attendance Of ABSENT
MEMBERS, in such manner
and under such penalties as each
house shall provide"
The Constitution by its very
language applies only to ''mem-
bcrs" and Representative
elect is not a ''mcmbcr" until
he voluntarily appears and
takes the oath of office. No
maninthis country can be COM
PEELED to take an office. legisla-
tive or otherwise, by any power
whatever.
Observe further. The above
article in the Constitution says
that LESS than a quorum may
compel the attendance of absent
members in such manner "a
each ho"se may provide" This
plainly implies that it is the
blouse" that must direct the
manner and provide the penal
ties. and that therefore less than
a quorum have no power at all
until the House is fully organ
lied. And then when the
House is fully organized less
than n quorum may compel at
tendance of "absent MEN,
BEERS" in whatever manncrthe
House prcscribcs. This is the
power 10 which the Supreme
Court refers in its recent de-
cision.
And this + plainly laid down
in the Laws of the State. The
Revised Statutes, Chap. >,
Sec. 2:i. read as follows:
The clerk of the preceding
house of representatives in like
manner shall call the represent
tatives-elect to order and pre-
side until they shall be qualified
and elect speaker: u no quo
ram appear he shall preside.
and the representotires-elect
present shall adjou,n from day
to day, until a quorum appear
and are qualified. and a speak
or is elected.
Here the plain explicit statute
shows that until the appearance
of a quorum, the clerk presides
and nothing can be done but to
adjourn from day to day until
a quorum appear and are quail
ifed and speaker IS elected.
Then with the Speakers warrant
a member who is absent NAV he
compelled to attend. But even
the Speakers warrant cannot be
directed to representative
elect. but only to "member."
that is, to one regularly "sworn
in"
Here is what the Supreme
Court in their recent opinion
declare:
1.-The rule applicable to such
eases is similar TO that which
applies to our House of repre-
sentatives. The whole number
of representatives established 4
by law is one hundred and fiftv- /
one. A majority (that is. sew

quorum to do business. IL

The Supreme Court declares, IN
solemn opinion, that less than seventy-six
Representatives-electe cannot constitute
quorum OF the House.
The Revised Statutes declare that the
House cannot. organize and swear In It's
members until a quorum-that is l6 menu
bers-shall be present. Mr.. Pil!sbury
and his fellow -conspirators propose to tell
the Representatives elect that they know
the Constitution better than the Supreme
Court does. and that number less than
10 can organize the House by simply de-
claring themselves quorum
A House thus organized is not and can
not be legal body. They cannot le-
gally count the Gubernatorial vote
nor assist in the election of legal State
officers They cannot aid in enacting
laws that are binding they cannot origi-
nate and send to the Senate a legal tax
bill they cannot pass legal appropria-
ton of money they cannnst pay their
own salaries out Of the State treasury.
We warn these gentlemen that we are
living under government of Law. and that
a bogus legislature constituted and organ
lied against Law and against the Judgment
Of the Court can be blocked and beaten
and brought to bay by the might and
majesty of Law. We dare you. we defy
YOU, gentlemen, to take single step in
your Revolutionary programme. The
