VIOLATED THE
CONSTITUTION
WHY SECRETARY DAYS PETITION
y WAS GRANTED.
Judge Brill Signs Supreme Court Memo
randum Explaining Decision Directing
Labelling of Judge Brown as Demo-
GRAFT on Election Ballot = Other De-
cisions Handed Down Today.

The supreme court today fled it's
formal decision in the petition Of Frank
A. Day, as chairman Of the democratic
state central committee, for an order di-
recting the secretary of state to place
the word democrat after the name Of
Justice Calvin L. Brown on the official
state ballot. The order granting this pc
tition was filed before election and the
ballot was so printed. The reasons for
the order are stated in the memorandum
filed today.
The court holds in decision signed
by Judge Brill Of St. Paul, who was
one Of the three Judges Of the district
court called in to decide the case, that
the statute prohibiting a candidate
from receiving the nomination of more
than one party is void:
It violates the provisions of section
81 Of article Of the state constitution,
which says. Ono law shall embrace
more than one subject, which shall be
expressed in it's title: The statute in
question, chapter 312 Of the laws Of
1901, is entitled an act relating to the
names Of political parties on the Off
cial ballot.'' This does not cover the
provisions Of the statute which follow.

CITY Councils and Saloons.

Another decision written by Justice
Brown passes upon the question of the
authority of city councils in the matter
of saloon licenses. The case was enti-
tied State of Minnesota, ex rel. John
HOWE, Jr., VS.. the Common Council Of
the City Of Mortified. The court says:
First-The question whether license
for the sale Of intoxicating liquors shall
be granted to an applicant therefor with
in the city of Mortified rests in the sound
judgment and discretion of the common
council in the exercise of which they act
iudicially, and not ministerially, and their
action cannot be controlled or reviewed
by mandarnus-
Second-The council may, if in its
Judgment the best interests Of the inhab-
itants of the city demand it, limit the
number of saloon licenses to be granted.
Order affirmed.
