NORRIS ON THE AMENDMENT.

In a communication to the T.-R. in
another column Mr.. Norris, promi-
nent lawyer of Grinnell, undertakes to
explain the Titus amendment muddle
by a process of legal argument. MIR
Norris dissents from the opinions of the
strict constructionists and contends
that, if the purpose of the amendment
is clear, ana he thinks it is, the court
can construe the law according to its
intend without substituting" as was
first contended by Mr.. Haines. the city
attorney Of Grinnell, and since endorsed
by judge Cole. To show that any other
argument leads to an absurdity. Nh
Norris asks if the law had contained
the phrase the year go" would the
court then insist upon literal interpre-
tation? His opinion is that the law will
be construed as 1t WAS intended. Iii
this he differs very little from the view
taken and already expressed by the
T.-R., but Mr.. Norris, being a lawyer.
is able to show the exact process of,
legal argument by which the legal mind
of the court can arrive at what he.

The democrats who, in the recent

Jon of the supreme court to sustain their
contention. Republicans have the great

ment.
Des Moines, Nov. so.-.rhe courts
will never decide the biennial election

prominent public man yesterday. The

son for holding to that opinion. ] do
not believe that the question OF the
validity OF the amendments or the effect
" Will have on a certain class OF Off
Gals will ever come before the courts.
This is the why of 1t:
suppose a county officer whose term
is supposed to expire the first Monday
in January coming shall decide to hold
on to the Office and claim rights to do
SO under the amendment; the man to
whom the certificate OF election mas
been issued-and all officers who APP
pear to have been elected November 6
have already been furnished their GER
tificates-will bring quo warranto pros
s,eedings to force the man who desires
to Yang onto his Office to tell the court
by What warrant he continues to hold
on.
This man vii! appear in court and
he will say tina he was elected such
and such date and, qualified at GER
tain time. He will set up that his elec-
ton was for two-year tenure and un-
til his successor Is elected and quail
fed He will then recite the amend
ment and offerN this as warrant for
holding the office.
The man who appeared to have been
elected November 6 will say that he
was elected on that date and qualified

The court will then say, l believe:
The statute plainly provides that the
officers who We're elected in 1898 and
who qualified on or before the first

their office for two years, and until
their successors have been elected and
qualified. 1t appears in this case that

amendment merely provides, in any

expire in 1901 shall be extended in office

that If there has been no successor
