The supreme court of Michigan has
filed an elaborate opinion in the man
damus case brought by Albert M. Todd
90 compel the election commissioners
of the counties comprising the Third
congressional district to print his name
on the ticket of each party nominating
him, claiming the so-called anti-fusion
law of the last legislature to be uncon-
stitutioual. Ike opinion, written by
Justice Grant was concurred in by
Justices Hooker and Long Chief
Justice McGrath did not sit in the case.
Justice Grant says:
When each voter has been afforded the OPP
portunity. and has been provided with reason
able facilities TO vote the constitution has been
complied with. All else is regulation and lies
in the sound discretion OF the Legislature, TO
whom alone such regulation is committed.
Courts cannot hold them unconstitutional be-
cause in their judgement they are harsh or UNI
wise, or have their origin in partisan purposes
Courts have nothing TO do with the motives of
Legislators nor the reasons they may have for
passing tho law
After reviewing number of author
tiles, Justice Grant concludes as fol-
lows
1t is insisted that the candidate has the con-
stitutional right TO have his name appear upon
the ticket OF every party That Endorses him.
The law gives every candidate the right TO have
~ belongs IN the column OF that party with
which he Is openly affiliated, but IL he chooses
TO have his name attached TO the ticket OF some
other party, and that party does not object he
possesses that right. But know OF no reason
or authority for saying that any candidate pos
sesses the constitutional and inalienable right
20 have his name appear more than once upon
the Official ballot containing the tickets of two
or more political parties. The Australian bal
lot conteinplateS that his name shall be there
but once. lt follows then, that every voter has
a reasonable opportunity TO vote for him. This
is the sole constitutional right guaranteed him.
He has no occasion TO find fault so long as he is
permitted to have his name upon the ballot
upon such ticket as he chooses, with the con-
stitutional right, following an opportunity
given TO every voter to vote for him. which he
can do by simply making two crosses instead
of one. The law is general and aims at no po-
ltical party Que party may be affected ut
one election and another at another. or
all parties may be affected at one election,
some in one locality and others in another.
IL does not prevent coalition between different
political parties, which is often very commend
able and patriotic. IL does not deprive the
members OF those political parties Of the means
TO put their coalition into effect by their votes
but furnishes all reasonable facilities for so
doing. It only requires some degree OF intelli-
gence and care on the part OF the voters We
hold the law constitutional

NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN
II Born of Foreign Parents-At Least the
Attorney General So Claims

Wong Kim Ark recently arrived at
San Francisco from China, and de-
manded landing on the ground that
he is native of California. The col
lector of the port refused him landing,
claiming he is not an American citizen.
The decision was in accordance with
an arrangement with the attorney
general, who is anxious to test the
rights of American born Chinese to
land According to the contention Of
the government, ~ person born in the
United States must not at the time of
his birth be subject to any foreign
power, thus making it Indispensable
To citizenship by birth that the parent
be an American citizen, for if the
father be alien the child will be sub
lect TO the country Of the sire. In
other words, to be an American citizen
by birth one must be born of Ameri-
can parents. II this contention of the
government is upheld, the standing of
all people born in the United States OF
alien parents will be greatly affected.
