cut off or abridged. This privilege is
not mere constitutional abstraction.
When voter votes to fill vacancy
at general election, under laws which
adequately provide the means for con-
Quoting the election, and declaring the
result, one cannot be denied his right
to eXercies it at a general election to
ill a vacancy for a member of the Leg
lslature, because no writ of election
was issued by the Governor, especially
when to issue such writ is mere direc-
tory provision of statute and only in
tended to be in aid, simply, to voters
clothed with constitutional right,
which at a general election is limited
by the means, adequately provided by
law. The last general election as to the
vacancies in the seats of the two Sen
ators, was the appropriate time to fill
them. With all the means under law
providing for general election, and if
competent for the Governor to issue
a writ of election and he omitted 10 do
so, it was competent for the voters to
fill the vacancies at the general cleo
ton. If the voters had failed 20 FIJI
a vacancy at the last general election,
it would be competent for the Governor
to issue writ of election.
See The Law of Elections by
Paine, sec. 312. All this is claimed be-
cause the statute which authorizes the
Governor to issue writs of election to
fill vacancies is not mandatory as to
filling vacancies at general election,
and any other construction, it can &c
seen, might lead to a deprivation of
the rights of voters and other deplora-
BILE results.
Now, if notice by writs of election
by the Governor, as to elections to FIJI
vacancies at a general election, should
have been issued (Which do not admit
to be necessary such writ is not per Sc,
in all such cases necessary to the valid
ity of an election at which a vacancy
at general election may be filled. If
such were the law, it would always he
in the power of the Governor, by NAL
feasance, to prevent such election.
Where a general election is held and
vacancy is filled, in other respects
than under a writ of election, and no.
tice in fact, by existing law or other
wise, to the body of the voters, even
by means otherwise than by a writ of
election, which may be prescribed by
law, an election to fill a vacancy is
valid at general election. This state
ment is made assuming adverse state
ments to be correct. which | do not
admit, but the statement is in harmony
with a well-considered case in 18th
Ohio State Reports, page 532-see at
conclusion of opinion of the Court.
Nothing can be found to the contrary
in the instance of a general election.
Il trust the questions involved may
be carefully considered in nOn-par
tisan manner. To commit errors on
such subjects might lead to dangerous
precedents which frequently lead to
usurpations Apart from the questions
here involved, the whole country is now
threatened by experiments not INDUCED
in in the past, and we should adhere
to constitutions and law as a ship
wrecked mariner to the last plank
when the fury of the winds and the
waves are bowling around him"

not to go according to law, what

Judge, would he decide cases accord

THE DOUGH" CATCHES THEM
Parkersburg Sentinel
Along early last spring, before the
politicians had begun to shell out
freely, several alleged Republican
newspapers were talking overly much
about one N Golf for United States
Senator. Since then common, I'M
denied rumor says that another Re-
publican put $4,000 into the cam
paign, and, presto, change, no more
is heard about Golf for Senator He
is just judge, they say, and it would
not do to disturb him. These things
are of the sort that mystify the read
er. If Golf were an excellent man for
Senator last spring, before the Doodle
began to fly, why not now? There
are some things past finding out,
among which might be named the sud-
den about face from defense of slot
machines to their persecution, and
also the former advocacy of Golf for
Senator to later opposition to him.
