ELECTION OF TERRITORIAL OF
FICERS.

The vexed question Of the right Of
the people, under legislative enact
ment.to elect certain Territorial offic-
ers, as treasurer, auditor of public &C.
counts, superintendent Of district
schools, and commissioners to locate
university lands, is again up for dis
cussion and decision. 1t is unfOr-
tunate that this dispute was not
long ago settled authOritatiyely, and
in such way az to take it out Of the
field of doubt. II is clear enough
that the people have or have not
the right to elect by popular vote
the officers mentioned; no one vii
doubt that proposition. 1t is also
an indisputable fact that there is
way for arriving at positive, defn-
tie conclusion as to the rights
in the premises; why that way
has not been followed is among the
mysteries left to perplex, together
with the question itself witch
arises at every session o tie Legis-
lative Assembly, and comes up at
election time.
It will be remembered that last
year the Peoples Territorial Central
Committee, previous to the August
election, asked the Commission il
voting for candidates for those Ter
ritorial offices upon the same ballots
with candidates for other offices az
to which there was no dispute
would be held to inyalidate such
ballots entirely, or such votes be
treated merely as surplusHge. The
Commission decided that ballots
containing the names Of candidates
for offices other than those desig-
mated to be filled by the Commits
sion, would be rejected. The Com.
mission did not designate the Terri
torislR offices as among those to be
filed by election, holding that the
Governor should appoint to them. Ii
was a remarkable decision il
more ways than one. Whatever
May be the duties and privileges O.
the Commission they do not include
those OF q judicial character, ant
when the board decided that {
legislative enactment was irregula
OF invalid, az it did in this case, j
certainly assumed judicial func
tons. It could just as well say, an
be quite as consistent; that an
other law passed by the Assembl,
and approved by The Governor, wa
not a. valid statute. Wherein tn
Commissions order in the cas-
was again queer, was in declarin
that voting for candidates for offic
other than those designated by tn
Board would invalidate the entir
ballot; a declaration that was nc
only highly judicial in its nature, bu
inconsistent with the theory an
practice of popular balloting every
where. The will of the voter, a
with which the canvassers had
do, would be expressed in his balIo
and the will or desire would in I
sense enullifed or overcome by tt
circumstance that more Offices we,
