Resistance 10 ReheRrinE.
In the resistance to the petition for a
rehearing in the case testing the biennial
election law the defense, which won the
decision Of the supreme court declaring
the law constitutional. declares that the
arguments of the appellants are more criu-
cisms than arguments and need not be
answered. The resistance to the appeal
reached the supreme clerks office today.
The claim that the supreme court erred
in not holding the law constitutional be-
cause Of the provision for selecting a chief
justice Is answered at some length by re-
viewing the oral arguments before the su-
preme court. The argument as to school
| elections being changed to fall is dismissed
as unworthy Of notice.
