NOW IT'S IN A FIX
Senator Peck Fights the Pri-
mary Election Law.
Defeated Candidate Seeks to Estab-
lish What He Calls His Con-
stitutional Rights.

Senator 81. J. Peck of Shakopee
"wednesday Instituted proceedings in the
supreme court, which, if successful
may invalidate the primary election
law and render all nominations made
Sept 16 illegal and void
Senator Peck asked the supreme
court for an order directing John 81.
Moore, auditor of Scott county, to
show why he shall not be compelled to
place the name of E. F. Mccarthy on
the Scott county ballot as an indie
pendent candidate for superintendent
Of schools
Mccarthy was an unsuccessful can
didate for the Democratic nomination
at the primary election, and the suit
is brought on the contention that the
amendment to the primary law pro-
viding that candidate defeated at
the primary may not file as an indie
pendent, is an infringement of the
citizens constitutional rights. If
Senator Peck is successful in his con-
tention and that section is held in
valid, the whole law will fall as it
has been held that the invalidation of
a vital section renders a whole law
void.
Mccarthy was opposed for the
Democratic nomination by Fl. J. Fitz-
patrick. Mccarthy polled 459 votes
and Fitzpatrick $50. Mccarthy be-
lieves that if he could get on the ticket
as an independent candidate he can
get enough Republican votes to elect,
and he does not believe that the Min
nesota legislature can by stature pre-
vent him from running, since he has
offered to the auditor petition signed
by ten per cent of the voters of the
county asking that his name be
placed on the ticket
Senator Peck contends that the
amended primary law is in direct
violation of article seven, section
seven, of the constitution. which pro-
vides that any person who is a legal
voter in the state is eligible to any
office filled under the laws of the state.
He says that his contention may be
sustained without invalidating the
whole law, as it has been held in some
courts that the invalidation of Sec
tion does not necessarily render the
whole act void

FILLING VACANCIES
Committees Can Do So, Says
Judge Crosby.
important Decision That Is of Vital
interest to Every Politician in
Minnesota.

Judge Crosby of Hastings Monday
rendered an opinion which is of inter
est to every politician in the state, in.
asmuch as it holds that county com
'mittee has the right to nominate q
candidate for any vacancy not filled
by the party voters at the primaries.
This is contrary to the general ac-
cepted opinion given by Attorney
General Douglas few weeks ago.
At the recent primaries in Dakota
county, there vas but one Republican
candidate for representative, ]. B.
Kelley.
AS the county elects two represen-
tatives. it was seen that any chance
the Republicans had to capture leg
islative seat was cut off by reason OF
their having only one candidate in the
field, when the voter is to vote for
two. The Republican county commit
tee held conference and selected A.
L. Dixon, of Waterford, to complete
the Republican legislative ticket.
When the chairman of the Republican
county committee presented certi-
fcate of nomination for Mr.. Dixon,
together with the regular filing fee,
the county auditor refused to accept
it. The Republican committee secured
from Judge Crosby on Saturday an
alternative writ commanding the
county auditor to accept the filing or
show cause why he should not do so.
The case was argued before Judge
Crosby yesterday. The court de-
creed that the alternative writ be
made peremptory and permanent, and
the county auditor was ordered to
place Dixon's name on the official
ballot Judge Crosby, in his memoir
andum, says:
"The purpose of the election law, as
it seems to me, is to give all eligible
political parties the privilege of being
fully represented by candidates upon
the official ballot. The language of
the law is broad enough, in my opin-
ION, to give that privilege, To hold
otherwise would eliminate expressive
words from the law or give them a
strained construction.
Judge Crosby holds that the clause
''any cause" in section As, general
statutes of 1s9 sis broad in its signi-
ficance, and it includes the cause ex-
listing in this case. -
Owing to the short time interven-
ing between the decision and the
election the case may not be ap-
pealed to the supreme court for final
decision. The decision is just opposite
to the opinion of Attorney General
Douglas. which has been generally
taken as being the law, but General
Douglas said he hoped test case
would be made to settle the question.

WHICH is SAFER TO TRUST.
McCIeary, the Republican, or An
dreWs. the Democrat.

In 1892 Congressman McCleary stood
for the protection of American indus
try at that time his present opponent
stood for Cleveland and free trade.
Which was right2
In 1896 Congressman McCleary stood
for sound money; at that time his
present opponent stood for Bryan and
free silver.
Which was right2
In 1900 Congressman McCleary stood
with President Mckinley in maintain
ing the dignity of the flag; at that
time his present opponent stood for
Bryan and "anti-imperialism.
Which was right2
Which is likely to be right now, the
one who was right on all of these
great issues or the one who was wrong
on all Of them2
Judging by the vote in the recent
primaries, the people have made up
their minds on that matter and they
have spoken in no uncertain way.

COUNCIL UPHELD
Eagle Lake Will Soon Have
a Saloon.
Judge Cray Finds That the Council.
men Have Authority to Grant
Liquor Licenses.

Eagle Lake will not go thirsty any
longer. Judge Cray filed an order Tues
day in the injunction suit against the
village council, finding that the coun
Gil has authority to grant liquor
licenses. The council will now, by 8
vote of three to two, grant a liquor
license to Anton Bienaph.
The courts order is as follows:
"Ordered, that a temporary injunc'
tion as prayed for in the complaint
herein be refused. and that the order
to show cause heretofore made herein
be discharged, and the temporary re.
straining order heretofore made herein
be annulled and discharged.
'Dated this 7th day of October, A.
D., 1902.
"LORIN CRAY,
Judge District Court.
The following memorandum is at
tached to the decision
"It seems to me that when the vii
lage of Eagle Lake was Incorporated
under legislative authority it became,
as to the matter of controlling the sale
of intoxicating liquors, a political
wholly independent of the
town of LIE Ray, with express author
ity vested in the officers of the village
to issue liquor license, subject to the
control of the voters of the village,
and wholly discharged from the re-
strictions imposed in that regard by
the vote of the township of LIE Ray,
and that when the peope of that town
voted upon the question of authorizing
the sale of Intoxicating liquor, it was
done with the knowledge that under
legislative authority village embrace
ing part of the territory affected
might become incorporated, with in
authority in that regard.
"This view is strengthened by the
language of the court in State ex rel,
ETC., VS.. Lake City, Goth Minnesota,
404-4l5 to 400.
s If am in error as to this / am of
the opinion that the plaintiff has
failed to show that he is about to
suffer an injury by any threatened act
of defendants, which court should
restrain by the extraordinary remedy
of injunction.
