The follow ing resolution was then introduced by T. Havis Nixon:
 Believing this to be all inopportune time for designing politicians to as- semble--each faction seeking an op. portunity to steal elections from the other-while proclaiming from the housetops, Watch what an honest deal we are trying to give the dear people, and believing We should dis band until an honest thought might hit some of Us in the noodle, I hereby move that We adjourn until such time as honest men with honest motives should assemble.
 This resolution Was declared out of order and after considerable WranglinS the original Roweli resolu- tlon was passed with the following changes: Fred Fox for W. T. Young and C. c. Hemingway for Desha Judge Jones then introduced a resolu- ton that each candidate should name one judge each and this was passed From the discussions at the conven- tion it seems that the warmest race for prosecuting attorney ever held in Jefferson county will be pulled off to succeed Judge Jones and the prob able candidates will be T. Havis Nix on. Creed Caldwell. Alex 1T. Powell and Dan Taylor. It was intimated by some that in yesterdays proceedings was a plan to enter a candidate to succeed Judge A. B. Grace.
 There being no further business the convention then adjourned.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
TH|RTYPERCENT CLAUSE CASE
There Was More Than One Candidate for Same Office the
Thirty Percent Rule Did Not Appy.If There Was But
One Candidate il Did.

Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. 2-The su-
preme court today rendered decision
In the thirty per cent clause of the
primary election law. The case
reached the supreme court from two
actions In the district court at Grand
Forks. One action was where the
Democratic candidate for clerk Of
court of that county failed to secure
the thirty per cent of the vote, and
the county auditor refused to place
him on the ticket. The candidate
mandamused the county auditor and
District Judge Temnleton held the
thirty per cent clause was valid and
in the appeal taken to the supreme
court the lower court is sustained.
The supreme court holds that the
thirty per cent requirement in the
primary law Is valid where one Of
flee Of the same name is to be filled
at an election and the candidates for
the nomination for such Office at the
preceding primary election failed to
receive thirty per cent Of the vote,
no party nomination Is made for such
office. So far Judge Templeton is sus-
tained in his opinion rendered In the
matter. But he is reversed in the
second action, also coming from the
district court of Grand Forks county
where R. ]. Purcell, a candidate for

unused the county auditor to have his
name placed on the ballot though he
had not received thirty per cent of
the Judges vote. Templeton's opin-
ion applied to all candidates whether
one or more of1ces were covered.
but the supreme court holds that the
thirty per cent clause does not ap-
ply to members Of congress, commits
sioners of railroads, members Of the
house. county constables and county
Justices. Therefore as the final re-
suit of this action, the candidate for
clerk OF court in Grand Forks, who
failed to receive thirty per cent of
the vote. will not go on the ballot,
while the candidate for justice of the
peace will.
In Cass county. In the Ninth legis-
lative district, the Democrats had
candidates for state senator and three
members Of the house and none of
them received the thirty per cent.
Under this decision Of the court, the
senator fails to go on the ballot while
the three house members will. In
the districts where there was one
senator and one house member to
nominate and neither received thirty
per cent, neither will go on the bal
lot as where there is only one officer

ORGANIZATION .|j!| \ y.
FOR SMUGGLING
Work Has Been Conducted
Along Mexican Border for
Two Years

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-The Chroni-
Gle today publishes a statement to the
effect that the recent charges in the
immigration department In this state
were the result of an investigation
disclosing a wide spread corruption
in the service along the Mexican bor-
der, by which hundreds of Chinese
have gained illegal entrance to the
United States during the past two
years. The details Of the plot, which
is alleged to involve Chinese and Mexi-
can residents of Mexico and southern
California as we'll as Americans hold
Ing official positions, are said to have
been communicated by one of the gov
ernment agents who discovered the
existence of the smuggling ring. It
Is said that the prices paid were $275
for delivering Chinaman at Los
Angeles or $500 for landing him un-
molested in New York. During these
two years 1t is affirmed, small bands
OF Chinese, In box cars and on coun-
try roads, were being arrested and
deported. It is now asserted that many
of these were laborers from Mexico
who were desirious Of being returned
to China without expense to them
selves, The Chronicles informant has
disclosed the names of Chinese, Mexi-
cans and Americans alleged to have
composed the ring. It is said that the
government after securing sufficient
evidence to warrant summary action,
chose to dismiss for incompetency a
number Of immigration officials on the
border rather than bring criminal
prosecutions.
