Guo UlOVlSlOuS VI Uu0 Guy CudIGSr,
is to be filed at the ensuing cleo.
tion on February 10Th, 1907. The
petition filed herein was for the
purpose OF obtaining an order to
show cause, why the City Clerk
should not be restrained from
placing the name of M. G.. Slo-
cum upon the ballot to be sub
mitted at said election, the con-
tention on the part of the petit
tioners, or rather the persons
signing the affidavit upon which
the order to show cause was
issued, namely; L. G.. Pendergast,
and 0. M. Skinvik, being to the
effect that there is no vacancy in
the office of justice of the peace
to be filed at such election.
Counsel for the petitioners has
presented a most ingenious and
plausible argument to support
that contention; on the other
hand, counsel for the respondent
have forcibly contended that
such vacancy will occur on the
fourteenth day of Novem Der,
1907, and that, under the pro.
visions of the city charter, such
vacancy should be filled at the
election to occur on February
19th,> this year. The question
sought to be raised is one that is
by no means free from doubt.
If, as contended by the petition
ers, Section 8, of Article 6, of the
Constitution of the State has
been so modified by Section 36, of
Article4, of the Constitution, G as to
enable the City of Bemidji at it's
election adopting the charter to
extend the term of the Offices of the
justices of the peace first elected
beyond the period of two years,
and it were the proper construc-
tion of the charter of the city to
hold that it was so intended, then
there is no vacancy to fill in the
Office Of justice of the peace prior
to the village election in Feb
ruary, 1908; but to so hold would
necessitate not only the determin-
aticn that Section 36 of Article 4
does so modify the provisions of
Section 8, Article 6, of the Con-
stitution, and that the authority
conferred by >uch modification
was in fact assumed in the adop-
ton OF such charter, but also
that apparent inconsistencies in
the charter should be so harmon,
lied as to point to the conclusion
that the term Of the justices
elected at the first election under
the charter should be extended
I beyond the period of two years,
thus, apparently, at least, oppos.
ing the provision of Section 8 OF
Article 6 of the Constitution,
which provides: "The legisla
ture shall provide for the election
OF sufficient mum Der of justices
OF the peace in each county
whose term of office shall be two
years, land whose duties and com
pensation shall be prescribed by
law" In order to grant The re-
lief asked for by the petitioners,
the court must find that this
contention IS correct.
! AS stated, the respondent con
tends that it was not intended
either by the adoption of Section
] 36, of Article 4, referred to, no,

Anton r. Erickson has an
nouneed his candid acy for alder
man from the Second ward, at
the city election to be held next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Erickson has had much
experience as d public official.
He lived in the city of Crookston
for several years; was a member
of the board of directors of the
Crookston Commercial union,
and was for several terms dep
uty county auditor Of Polk
county. Mr.. Erickson has been
closely identified with municipal
matters in several places where
he has resided, and is in posi-
tion to give good service to the
city.

are in as good condition as those
above enumerated. There has
been honest, hard work done by
those having it in charge and I
would like to see the entire board
of aldermen returned for an
other year.
Very respectfully yours,
II. j. Miller,
Alderman Second ward.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-02-16

the city charter Of Bemidji based
thereon, that the. provisions of
Section 8, referred to, should be
affected. The question so aris.
ing, it seems to me, is one con-
! corning which there is so much
doubt and to the respondent,
Slocum, at least, so important, t,
that it should not be passed upon
and decided in such a summary
proceeding. Should an order be
made restraining the city clerk
from placing upon the ballot the
name Of M. G.. sSlocum, the latter
would be practically without any
remedy, in the event the proper
construction of the law is to the
effect that vacancies occur in the
Office of justices of the peace on
| the fourteenth day of Novem Der,
1907; because the ballots for the
ensuing election should be in the
hands of the printer today. On
the other hand, the placing of the
name Of Mr.. Slocum upon the
ballots would entail no injury to
anyone, unless it be the mere
theoretical damage arising
from enormously placing his
name upon the ballot. If there
is vacancy to be filled at the
ensuing election under such con-
struction Of the law as the Su
preme Court may afterwards
give to it, the. rights of the
petitioners could not be affected
by placing such name on the
ballot. If, as contended by the
petitioners, no vacancy occurs to
be filled at an election prior to
the village election of next year,
February, 1908, the petitioners
and the public cannot be in fact
injured, because, in any proper
proceeding to be begun by the
respondent, Slocum if he be
voted for at the election to
be held next week, in the
nature of quo warranto, or
otherwise, to test the question
he must be defeated.
Leaving out1;of consideration
the point suggested that Section
220, of the Revised Laws of 1905,
is not sufficiently broad to cover
the circumstances here, because
| there has been omitted from it
certain provisions to be found in
Section 202 relative to errors
about to be Icommitted, and
wrongful acts about to be done,
I am of the opinion that it was
not intended that questions of
the Importance of the one pre-.
sented here, and under the cir
cumstances appearing here,
should be decided in the sum:
mary manner provided by either
of the sections last referred to,
especially when application is
made to the District Court, but
that the practice provided for in
such sections is only to be
adopted where the act or omis.
sion complained Of is clearly
| wrong and plainly prejudicial to
the interests of the persons
seeking to invoke such remedy.
! Because of the doubt'involved in
the construction of the various
provisions of the Constitution
and of the Charter referred to,

and, because the issue raised is
one which ought to have
thorough investigation before
being decided, and, therefore,
should not be decided in such q
summary manner, [ am con-
strained to discharge the order
to show cause.
