tanning that the mandate, should one be
issued, should lie solely against the Regis
| trar, lie being the only one qualified by the
law to print The legal tickets.
The Supreme Court In bank decided 10
| hear the main issue first To that end II. A.
Dorm spoke for the commission.
The points emphasized by him in favor of
not allowing the Non-Partisans ticket
heading were as follows:
Under the law no candidates are entitled
to ticket heading unless they were nomi-
| mated by convention representing party
which at the previous election rolled not less
than 3 per cent OF all the votes cast
Only political party was entitled to a
ticket heading under the law. Now, what
was the test OF political party? Mani
testify, as the law says, that ii has been in
existence since the last election. and that at
the last election Il enjoyed the confidence
and support of the public to the extent OF
about per cent OF all the voters.
There could be no party nominations
made except by convention composed Of
regularly accredited delegates.
The petitioners did not claim that their
candidates had been nominated by con-
ventioD, but by an assemblage Of electors.
The signers to the petition indors!ng the
nominees of the Non-Pariisans did not act
as party, but merely as individuals.
AT this point Justice de Haven put In
very pertinent question.
Ihen, according to that construction OF
the iaw,. there can be no new parties
formed 2" he asked.
tneh Mr. Dorm explained that, according
" tn.s construction, new party, or persons
aeslrous OF forming new party, would first
nave TO go before the people on the ballot
without party heading and poll the neces.
sary number OF votes. After that thew
would become party and entitled TO all the
privileges of party. wv
A new party can hold convention. said
MIR. Dorm, but their candidates must after
ward be certified to before they can get on
the ticket at all.
Mr.. Dorm then quoted the section which
says that such certificate, when made,
shall lave the same effect as IL made by 4

As to remedy, it occurs to me that ex-

there was something suspicious about tie
origin OF the fire. In closet fifteen feet

started a smaller blaze was found There
was strong smell Of coaloil. 10 the closet
and Kennard marked "incendiary" on his
report of the fire.
There was only $3.50 insurance on the
furniture IN the lodging house, and for that
reason Fire Marshal Tows did not decide
that the fire had been started by an incen-
diary. He reported that the cause was the
explosion Of cOal-oil lamp. The loss ia
