bat the carrens of authority is that such
failure invalidates the ticket. John
Arthur holds to this belief. He's says:
THE provisions Of the Law requiring the

all probability be held By the court TO be
mandatory. That 10 to say. the provis-
ions must be complied with In order to
give validity To the nomination. IT, on
the other hand. the court should hold the
provision to b. merely directory. the NOM
nations would not be invalidated, and ii

would get the Offices. Undoubtedly
the intention OF the law 10 10 make the
provisions mandatory. thus requiring as 3
fact indispensable TO the legality Of the
election that the list Of nominees should
be filed as required In the time given. 1t

created for the due regulation of elections"
