LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT
Under the Requirements OF Exist
ing Statutes.
AN OPINION BY THE CITYATTORNEY
In Regard TO Making Nominations
in Mineral Point.

The primary law applies to the elec-
tion of the ward officers to be elected
in Mineral Point this spring, The
city clerk has published the proper
notice of primary election to be held
on Tuesday, March 2l, and has used
diligent efforts to bring the matter to
the attention of the public. But only
three candidates (all republican, have
filed nomination papers, And the at
torney general and the city attorney
hold that if the primary is held, as
legally called for next Tuesday, the
only ballot which can be used on that
occasion is a Republican party ballot.
The case as it now stands is thus
plainly stated by the city attorney;
Legal notices have been published
and posted for the holding of a pri-
mary election to make nominations
for justices, aldermen and supervisors
according to the provisions of Chap.
45l, Laws of 1908, (the Primary cleo
ton law
The law provides that nomination
papers must be filed not less than Is
days before the holding of the pri-
mary.
The last day such papers could
have been filed was on the 9th day of
March. On said day nomination pa
pers had been filed for the two justices
and one supervisors; all of whom rep
resent the Republican party.
~ N a f.
torney General, "The only way a
party can participate in a primary
election is by filing nomination pa
pers for candidates of that party, and
further that the law only requires the
preparation of tickets for as many
parties as have filed nomination
papers for candidates OF that party" F"
Consequently, if primary Is held
on 2lst day of March, as advertised
and posted, the only ticket to be voted
will be the Republican ticket
Subdivision 2 Of Section of the
primary law provides for nominations
of candidates by nomination papers
signed and filed as provided by exist
ing laws Section 30, Laws of lS9S)
BY withdrawal of the primary
papers already filed, candidates can
be nominated by nomination papers
which must be signed by at least ten
electors of the ward, but, in a ward
which polled more than 100 votes, must
be signed by at least twenty electors of
such ward.
Papers can not be filed more than
Is days nor less than 4 days before
such election, which will be held
April 4, 1905.
Regrettiug that candidates did not
comply with the law, [ hope those
who have filed Primary papers will
withdraw them, thus doing away with
the primary election which was to be
held March q, and that candidates
will comply with the above sugges-
tion by filing nomination papers.
Respectfully,
JOSEPH N. TREwEEK,
City Attorney.
