OF THE STATE FAIR MAN.
AYERS.
BUT HE MUST GET 1T FIRST.
ATTORNEY GENERAL THINKS THE
SUTTON DECISION AFFECTS
HIM NOT.
In the Eyes of the Law, Such Is the
State Agricultural So
ciety.

There is some question as to the eli
gibility Of Representative John J. Fur
long, of Austin, to reelection as a
member Of the board Of managers of
the Minnesota State Agricultural So
ciety under the recent decision in the
Sutton case, but it now appears like
ly that it will not be considered in the
proceedings unless some fight is made
on it by those who have as yet not
openly declared themselves. Attorney
General Childs stated yesterday that,
while he had been asked officially to
rule upon Mr. Furlong's eligibility, he
was Of the opinion that the Sutton
decision would not affect him. The
question hinges upon whether the state
agricultural society is public body
or a private corporation, and Mr.
Childs' opinion is based upon a re-
cent decision of the supreme court
in which the view was taken that the
agricultural society, while to a GER
tain extent a public body, was, in
legal effect, a private corporation.
