A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
STUART II still Judge.


Stuart II Still Judge.
In the FalloonStuart judgeship case
week held that the senate had no au-
thority to declare the Office of Judge
vacant. It held that the only way a
Judge could be ousted was by a two
thirds vote of both houses of the legis-
iature, and not by a majority vote of
the legislature. In other words, .
judge must be impeached. The senate
started out to try a contest. It wound
up by declaring that Stuart was elected
on the face of the returns, but claimed
he was not entitled to the Office be-
cause he gave man a cigar a few days
before election, in violation of the cleo
ton law. 1t issued an order ousting
him, but he held on. The supreme
court held that the action of the
senate did not operate to create a va
cancy or to remove the judge from of
fee. The opinion was unanimous.
