Decided Against Falcon.


Brown oniphan district. Falcon was
dominated for Judge by the populists
TO I'LL the vacancy declared by the state
senate. sitting in special session as
court to decide contest instituted by
Falcon against w. ]. Stuart, the re-
publican nominee. The senate heard
the case and decided that there had
been no election. On this declaration
Falcon was nominated for the va
cancy. The supreme court now holds
that the senate's action was in excess
Of its authority; that it met to decide q
contest and ended by simply declaring
= vacancy. This the supreme court
holds amounted to a removal of Stuart,
while the constitution provides ex-
pressly that there are only two ways
of removing a Judge, viz: By impeach-
ment or by two-thirds vote of the leg
islature. BY this decision the supreme
court avoided the question of the
validity of the senate's special session.
