term must have their names ON the
ticket for the counties in that district
fifteen days previous to the day of the

governor has no right to call special
election for any but the expiration oil
a term in this case. Under section 365a
any candidate who has been requested
by fifty qualified electors to run can
have his name on the ticket, if pre-.
scented to the commissioner in charge
of the ballots not less than fifteen days
before the election. If such require
ment is complied with the candidate
elected November sth would doubtless
be entitled to the full term, beginning
March 4th. Section 36S9 provides fol
filling the unexpired term by calling q
special election to be held not less than
thirty DAYS after issuance of order,
