! leyites and Garret w. McEnerney repre-
sented Registrar Hinton directly and the
Junta side of the case indirectly.
Quite crowd of politicians and others
were interested listeners of the argument.
Joseph Rothschild, A. T. Spots, James
III. O'Brien, w. +. Humphreys, T. Carl
Spelling. D. NJ. Gavigan ana others of
the Buckleyites helped crowd the court
room and several of the opposing faction
were there.
The case did not develop the interest
that it had been expected to DO because
the Buckleyites decided not to go at all
into questions of fact, and the issues as to
the authority of either side to represent
the party and the right of the State Gem
tral Committee and che State convention
10 decide what organization is the regular
local party were not touched.
The Buckleyites decided to rest their
case wholly on one question of law in
volving the construction OF portion of
section ll92 OF the Political Code reuuir-
ing the Registrar to pass upon and
promptly accept or refuse all certificates
of nom i7ation filed with him.
The proceeding was upon the petition
for writ of mandate, fled few davs
ago, directing the Registrar to accept and
place upon the official ballot the name of
tendent of Streets. Registrar Hinton re.
fused to file the Buckley ticket on the
ground that the Buckley organization did
not represent the Democratic party, which
at the last election polled more than per
cent of the vote cast.
In giving this decision Registrar Hinton
considered questions of fact which did
not appear from the lace of the certificate.
and he exercised judicial function
Messrs. Ere ldenrlch and Dunno contended
that the Registrar was wholly ministerial
officer; that his objections must be lin
tied to irregularities which mi hit appear in
the face Of the document and that he M ust
accept any ticket properly attested and
certified to. 1t was thus contepded that
two or more sets of candidates might have
a place on the ballot under the same
party designation.
Garret McEnerney secuted this conten.
ton and forcibly argued that the question
was decided by the highest party author
ity in the State.
The case was called at 10 A. NJ. when
McEnerney at once read the answer to the
petition. The lengthy answer aYerred:
The San Francisco call., 1896-09-26

receipt of the same and before filing, examine
the same, and II there is any detect, omission
or reason why the same should not be filed
such officer shall then and there forthwith
designate in writing the defect, omission or
reason why such certificate cannot be fled and
return the said certificate to the person pre-
senting the same, with such written designa-
tion OF defect, omission or reason for not fling
the same.
The issue was particularly involved in
the words treason why such certificate
cannot be fled" Such reason, it was con-
tended, must appear upon the face of the
certificate. The respondents reason had
alleged that the verified certificate was
untrue. The law had not only not made
provision for the Registrar entering into
questions of fact or provided machinery
by which il might be done but had, in fact,
made it impossible by requiring that he
should act forthwith
Justice Northumberland then is to
prevent any number of factions, acting
perhaps in good faith as far as they them
selves are concerned, from presenting and
having filed their certificates?
Freidenrich-I suppose it would be the
duty of the officer to accept them and
leave questions of fact to the courts.
A number of recent decisions in Eastern
States were quoted in support of the con-
tention that the courts should let factions
run their tickets side by side with equal
favor. Political parties were voluntary
associations which voters might change
and reorganize at will. The question was
essentially political and not judicial. This
rule gave the voter fuller freedom in cast
ing his ballot.
Garrett McEnerney replied at length.
''The only question in the case is, Is the
petitioner entitled TO the right to go on
the ticket representing party which it is
admitted he does not represent? Is the
convention from which petitioner received
his nomination an organized assent blage
OF delegates representing political party
which at the last election polled at least 3

SUFFRAGE WORKERS.
Sending in Glowing Reports OF Sym
pathy and Success in All Towns
Thus Far visited.

Thus Far Visited.
Reports from outside workers in the
woman suffrage campaign are most en-
couraging.
In a letter from Southern California
Miss Harriet May Mills writes that the
prevailing sentiment in the many towns
which she visited is most friendly to the
cause, and does not hesitate to say that if
it is an index to'the general feeling in the
State the woman suffrage amendment to
the constitution will pass by large ma
jority.
From Los Angeles and other centers of
work come reports of similar tenor. Some
OF the workers travel from twenty to forty
miles daily in stages and private vehicles,
speaking wherever they can find an audi
ence, however small. San Diego and
Fresno clamor for more speakers, and the
head center in this City is hard pushed in
order to meet even part of the demands
which come in day after day.
