The following opinion Of Attorney.
General Judge settles the status Of
members Of the Legislature who fail
ed to file statements OF their expenses
under the purity law:
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GHNERAL)
CARSON Cry, NEVADA. Dc %, 1898
WEBSTER PATTERSON ESQ.
ElkO. Nevada.
DEAR SIR:-Your letter OF the 10
inst. enclosing inquiry Of Mr.. Mcbride
relating to matter OF certificate Of
election to MI. Gcdney, one OF the
members elect to the Legislature, is
before mo.
While it is true that the purity Of
election law requires candidates T."
file statements OF expenditures with
Ill a certain number or days after
election, and in ase OF failure or neg
lect 30 to do imposes forfeiture Of the
Office to which tho candidate may be
elected, as part OF the penalty. /
doubt very much it the Courts Of this
State would uphold the law to
that extent, especially where the fui.
ure to file such statement was not IN.
territorial on the part OF the candidate,
as the chief aim OF the act appear to
be tho detection OF unlawful use ui
money for the purpose Of promoting
tho election OF candidates. not for the
purpose Of excluding from office those
honestly and fairly elected.
Again the Constitution has in terms
prescribed the qualifications ueces.
sary to DO possessed by candidates
for the Legislature, and in my judg,
ment the legislature is moi veste,.
with power to impose additional quail
iications on candidates for The legis.
lature TO those named in the Coustitu.
ton, which has been attempted IN the
purity OF election act.
In my opinion the Mr.. Ged,
ney Ia entitled to his certificate OF
election from the Clerk, as the law
provides.
Very Respectfully,
JAMES II. JUDGE,
Attorney General.
