TODD KNOCKED OUT.
Decision of the Court of Appeals Affects
Others.

Others.
Frankfort, Ky, June 23,-Mayor
Todd loses. So does Appellate Judge
Landes. The successor Of both, as
well as of Judge Noble must be elect
ed next November.
So decides the Court of Appeals.
The opinion was handed down by
Judge Hazellrigg this morning. He
said: "The case of Todd VS.. John
son is affirmed, Judge DuRelle and
Guffy dissenting, Judge Landes not
sitting"
This, Of course, meant that the
court had, by accident or otherwise,
divided politically in the decision.
The reason why Judge, kandes did
not sit was because the decision at
fected his term of Office the same as
that of Todd, the constitutional ques"
ton being decided as we'll as the
charter provision. Hfa.
The opinion is in Judge Hazel
riggs handwriting and covers twelve
pages of closely-written legal cap.
After stating all the conditions of the
agreed cases with which the public is
familiar, opinion holds that the cleo
ton of presidential electors is an cleo
ton for State officers in the meaning
of Section l52 of the Constitution,
which provision that the election to
fill the vacancy shall take place at
the next succeeding election at which
either city, town, county, district or
State officers are to be elected.
The court further holds that an adj
ditional reason for this view is that
Judge Pryor's successor in the Fifth
district is to be regularly elected this
fall and indicates very clearly that if
an Appellate Judge is to be regularly
elected this fall that it is unreasonable
to hold that Judge Lande's place, CON
stituting vacancy on the same
bench, lcannot be filed.
The opinion Indicates throughout
that what applies to Todd's case ap-
plies very much more to Judge
Landes, to Judge Noble and to all the
officers now serving by appointment
and filling vacancy. The opinion
is considered much more conclusive
in all these cases and on all points
than was the McCullough-She
opinion of some time back, 80

The Fifteenth International Con-

wonderful that has ever been held.
