Nathan Lindsay, of Monona county.
has secured a temporary restraining
order preventing the board of supervise
! ors of Monona county from certifying
to the election of w. j. Scott, of Ida
~ ioa n a
Monona district. This application for
writ of mandamus compelling the
board to certify to the election of Mr..
Lindsay and asking for a temporary
writ of injunction was presented to
!, Judge Gaynor in the district court, who
! granted the restraining order, but did
! not set time for hearing the manda-
! mus proceeding. 1t will probably come
up at the next term of court in Monona
! county.
Nathan Lindsay was the middle-of-
the-road populist candidate for state
! representative from the Monona-Ida
county district in the last election. His
home is at Onawa. in Monona county.
: and the democratic and republican
candidates both reside in Ida county.
There has been considerable feeling in
Monona county on account of the fact
that it was made a part of the lda-
Monona district Many of the resi-
dents of Monona county contend it has
population enough to entitle it to a
separate Representations and it is on
, this ground that "Oom Paul Lindsay
! as he has been Familiarity called, bases
: his contention of the recent election
: He claims that under the last appor-
h tionmsnt act of the legislature Monona
county is entitled to a representative;
!. that unless a candidate is elected anc
{ seated who is a resident of Monona
county it will be without a representa-
! tive, or be represented by resident o.
another county--Mr. Scott who was
Il elected as a republican from Ida coun-
4 ". The constitutionality of the act OF
! the legislature in creating the distric
S also is attacked.
e The populst candidate from Monont
e county therefore alleges that as Mon
k ona county is entitled to separate rep
resentation, and as no other candidate
o from his county We're on the ticket, h,
is entitled to be declared the dul,
n elected candidate from this county
d and that the board of supervisors from
that county should be compelled L
= certify to his election. He would hav'
IS all votes cast for the republican am
IS democratic candidates IN his count.
n either thrown out or be ordered cast 70
Il him, as the only candidate on tn
Monona county ticket.
n Mr.. Lindsay's attorney, Mr. Georg
a. Oliver, declares he will press tn
% case to the higher court, if necessary
d and he says the Monona county MAJ
e has an excellent chance of securing nj
seat in the lower house OF the next gen
h eral assembly. The question has ere
IS ated a good deal of interest in tina
county, as it raises not only the prop
osition of seating Mr.. Lindsay, but ais
!, that of the representative rights of tn
- county. Mr.. Lindsay does not ask t
!, represent Ida county. so his action ma
= not effect the election of Mr.. Scott a
" it's representative.
