Decision Of Importance Re-
garding Vacancies in State
Legislatures.
Arkansas Supreme Court Holds
the Governor Has Power
to Appoint.
Said to Be the First Case of
the Kind Decided in the
Country.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. %. The SUI
preme court, in an opinion by Justice
Riddick, holds that the governor has
the right to appoint members of the
legislature where vacancies have been
caused by death, resignation or other
causes.
At the September election w. j.
Matthews was elected representative
for Francis county to the general as
sembly. He has since died and Gov
ernor Clarke issued a writ of election to
the sheriff of that county commanding
him to issue proclamation for an
election to fill the vacancy. The sheriff
Refused to Hold the Election
and thereupon writ of mandamus
was prayed to compel him to do so.
The circuit court held that this section
had been superseded by a subsequent
amendment which empowered the gov.
ernor to fill such vacancies by appoint.
ment and refused the writ. The case
was taken to the supreme court and in
the opinion handed down, it is held
that a representative is an officer
and the position he holds is an office
and that where vacancies occur in such
Offices the governor has the power to
fill by appointment until the next gen
eral election.
This is said to be the first case of this
character decided in any state in the
country.

WINNIPEG, Man., Oct. 27.-The grain
dealers of the country are much agitat-

Rival Canadian milling firms are en-

The result is that No. hard wheat can
