His talk was limited to only ten

ample time to assure the people they
would be following uncertainties ! in
supporting Bryan for president. He
pointed out how Bryan advocated an
issue one day and dropped it the next.
He considered Bryan patriarch of

Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. 2.-The SUI
preme court today rendered decision
in the 80 per cent clause of the pri-
mary 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 80 per cent of
the vote and the county auditor re-
fused to place him on the ticket The
candidate mandamused the county au-
ditor and District Court Judge Tenn
pIeton held, the 80 per cent law was
valid and In the appeal taken to the
supreme court the lower. court is sus-
tained. r. 81 a. R.8 ID, -.
Several Officers Excepted. s.
The supreme court holds that the
80 per cent requirement in the primary
law is valid where one Office of the
same name is to be filed at an cleo
tion, and candidates for the nomina-
| tion for such office at the preceding
primary election failed to receive 80
per cent no party nomination Is made
| for such office.
So far Templeton is sustained in
his opinion rendered in the matter, but
he Is reversed in the second section,
also coming from the district court OF
Grand Forks county, where Purcell, a
candidate. for county Justice -ths-
peace, mandamused the county audi
tor to have bis name placed on the
ballot though he had not received 80
per cent of the vote. Templeton's
opinion applied to all candidates
whether one or more offices were COW
cred, but the supreme court holds that
the 80 per cent clause does not apply
to members OF congress-, commission
ers of railroads, members of the house.
county. constbles and county justices.
Court ReVerses Itself.
Therefore as a final result of this
action the candidate for clerk OF court
in Grand Forks, who failed to receive
80 per cent of the vote, will not go on
the ballot, while the candidate for
justice of the peace will go on.
In Cass county, in the Ninth legis-
lative district, the democrats had can
didates for state senator and three
members OF the house. and none OF
them received the required 80 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 opA
senator and one house member TO
name and neither received 80 per cent,
neither will go on the ballot as where
there is only one officer to name for
the same pace the 80 per cent is re-
quired.
The opinion is by Spalding concur
red in by Morgan and concurred in
part by Fisk.

At the Play Last Night.

John E. Young, as Happy Johnny
Hicks was decidedly the whole
show, with the exception Of the work
of the chorus girls, in 1.-THE Time, the
ented at the Grand on yesterday af-
ternoon and last night. Young is
rather extraordinary as comedian
in that he does not need a lot of out
Iandish garments, wigs and paints to
help him out in causing laughs. Good
fun just simply oozes out of him and
he can rattle off more good stuff in
the talk line in the shortest space of
time than any man who has been in
Topeka this season. And there is
plenty of opportunity in ''The Time,
the Place and the Girl" to keep him
busy, It's q good thing that there IS
for otherwise the piece would fall fiat,
that is With the cast he now has sup
porting him. There Is hardly one
of them who is worthy OF mention.
This piece, as in all others In which
the versatile Joseph Howard has had
a hand in the making, abounds in
rather catchy music and some good
songs but those holding the principal
parts in the company are woefully
weak as singers and equally as weak
as actors. But then the irrepresslnie
Young works so hard and SO long to
such good advantage all the tfnlo
that the show Is well worth wasting
an evening on.
AS for the chorus, it Is just about as
large and as good one as has been
seen with any of the many musical
shows that have come this way and
the girls, in all sorts of elaborate ana
fetching costumes do some particuI-
arly fine work In the songs Uncle
SANS Best Girl and Dixie, Love
YOU" in which Miss Eulalie Jensen
has the solo parts. In another num-
Der the chorus girls also produce a.
telling effect when they make up an
animated American flag with red,
white and blue paraSolS.
