AUDITOR IS SUSTAINED

ADEFEATFOR COEURD'ALENE
Ballots Must Conform to the Law
of 1899.

C9ur d'Alene's "boosters" have
lost out in an effort to have the
county seat ballots printed in a
manner which would give them an
advantage over Rathdrum on elec.
ton day. Without any law to
justify them, they brought man.
damus proceedings in the supreme
court to compel the county auditor
to have the ballots printed accord
ing to a law passed in 1905.
instead of the law of 1899, although
the law of 1905 is a specific law
and does not pertain to county
seat removal question. as does the
older one which is a general law.
The auditor ordered the ballots
printed in conformity to the law of
1890.
Determined to leave no stone
unturned, the Coeur d'Alene club
sent Attorney Whitla to the
supreme court, which is in session
at Lewiston to push the mandam-
us proceedings to compel the OBJ
servance of the 1905 law. The
supreme court rendered its decis-
ion on Monday, Attorney McBee
appearing in behalf of Auditor
Quarles. The decision sustains
Mr.. Quarles, which means that the
ballots must conform to the law of
1890.
A separate ballot will be used
for the county seat removal propo-
sition, as is the case with proposed
constitutional amendments. The
ballots will be small. Under the
question: "For removal Of
county seat to Coeur d'Alene" will
be the words mo" and eyes" with

Come, speak up quickly, gentlemen.
Any clear effect of the change will be
welcomed by the voters fear that
it will increase our expenses. And it
seems to me that we will not get as
well qualified judges for $25OO as for
$4,000. Again it seems that the pro-
vision for three judges in one county

produce confusion and conflicts. Vote
against these appointments unless you
