DEMOCRATS SCORE

Has No Jurisdiction.
LEGISLATURE IS SUPREME

Case to State Court of AppeaIs-Re.
view Of Case.
LOUISVILLE, March 1O.-A decision
sustaining the contention Of the Demo
Gratis that the legislature is the tribunal
designated by the constitution for the
determination of contests for the Offices
of governor and lieutenant governor,
was handed down in the circuit court
today by Judge Fields. The Repub-
lioans will appeal the case to the state
court of appeals, and if the decision
there is against them they Will try 10
get hearing before the United States
supreme court.
Judge Fields reviews the history of
the case and the pleadings Of both sides
nut devotes most of his opinion 60
quoting courts of last resort involving
the competency Of the Legislature to de-
eide similar disputes. He quotes the
report Of the contest boards, finding in
favor Of the Democratic contestants for
governor and lieutenant governor, and
says that while the legislature was dis
persed by militia before these reports
were acted upon and was barred from
its usual sitting place, the records Of the
legislature show that the reports de-
claring Beckham governor were adopted
by quorum OF each house of the legis.

holds to be sufficient The line OF au-
thority to the effect that the courts can.
not inquire into the motives which in
duced the action OF the Legislature he
declares is IN broken and must be taken
as he law.
To the argument that there was no
quorum when the general assembly APP
proved the reports of the contest boards
and that IL had been adjourned, the
foregoing authorities say the statement
of the legislative records that there was
then n quorum is sufficient.
Judge Fields concludes as follows:
The report of the contest board does
not indicate upon which or how many
of the contestants grounds of contest it
acted, whether upon the alleged tissue
ballots or military interference or other
of the numerous grounds specified and
/ am not permitted upon this hearing
TO look into the evidence; but If each
party has sustained by proof the charges
of fraud made against the other in the
pleadings and this were q proper place
for the application of that principle.
would hold them to be in pari delicito
as violators OF the law and refuse to aid
