Is Of the Opinion the Senators 10 the
Ninth and Thirteenth Districts
Vacated Their Seats When They
Accepted Federal Offices.

Special to the Register.
Weston, w. 4 Va, November 20
Your correspondent called on Judge
John Brannon to-day and asked him II
he had noticed the question of the ell
feet of the acceptance of military COM
missions by the two Senators elected
at the election prior to the last from
districts in the eastern Pan-Hanole
of this State and who now claim 10 De
members of the State Senate. He stat
ed he had noticed the comments OF the
newspapers on the subject, and quite
freqenetly statements by them OF the
precise question involved, and THIS naa
occasioned him to make some examln-
alton, and that he had made some notss
and references on the subject which at
my request he gave to me. They are
as follows:
.'The thirteenth Section of Article
six of our State Constitution provides
as follows: No person holding lu-
crative Office under this State, the
United States or foreign government
shall be eligible to seat IN
the Legislature The words eligible
and "seat" are both employed. Both
words being employed, we can see
plainly the word eligible would GER
tainly apply to candidate who might
or not be eligible, but it must be OBJ
served the word seat is also employ
ed. If indeed the question under the
quoted language of our Constitution
should be question of construction, II
would be a strange construction OF the
provisions of our State Constitution
that in the instance of the election OF
an eligible person, that such person
could accept an Office under our state
or United States and continue TO DE
Senator. and resume his seat as q
member of the Senate.
"The Constitution of the Unlteo
States provides that No person holding
office under the United States snail De
a member Of (Congress) either House.
This language makes the word mem
ber' in effect the same as the wore
seat in our State Constitution, an6
under the Federal Constitution it has
been held the acceptance by a member
of Congress of a commission as vol
unteer in the army vacates his seat
CT. & H. 1872, 1896, 637, 1st Bouvier's Law
Dictionary, p. 5S5. The term eligible
when so employed" said the Judge
"relates to the capacity to hold a

fee. 18th Indiana, p. 327; 10Th Cal

THE SENATORSHIP.

Shepherdstown Register.
Since it has been shown that the
Legislature in West Virginia will, IN
all probability, be Democratic on joint
ballot. candidates for the ,Senatorship
are coming to the front. The claims
of Col. John t. McGraw, who made
such a vigorous and almost successful
fight for Congress in this district, are
being pushed by his friends, While
Gen. C. C. Watts, who made a losing
race for the Governorship two years
ago, has also entered the race. Senator
Faulkner, who has represented the
State with so much ability for two
terms, will again be a candidate ana
has a strong following to begin WIN
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis also coVets
the honor but it is not likely that the
LEGISLATURE will choose two Senators
