After all the excitement and turmoil of

men took to secure election as Justices of
the Peace and ConsIables, it seems lit
tie strange that they should have
neglected to 60 little further and COM
ply with the law to the extent that they
might qualify.
The law provides that within fifteen
days after an election all candidates must
hle sworn statements of their campaign
expenses, and on failure to do so the sue
cesSful ones shall not be allowed to take
office. 1t seems that nearly all the can
didates for Justices of the Peace and Con-
stables IN the county outside of this city
have failed to file such statements The
offices must now be filled by the Super
visors, but none of those who failed TO
comply with the law are eligible to ap-
polntment. The list is as follows:
