According to the decision of Judge
Templeton, there will be no further
changes in the boundary Of Ward
county until another election is held.
The case just decided may be revers-
ed by the supreme court on appeal,
but it the decision is affirmed, the
proposition to create Burke and Rem
vile counties at the last general cleo
ton will be adjudicated by the courts
as lost cause. Although Mountrail
county was created from Ward at the
last election, the old Ward county
still remains by far the largest terri
tory in. the state with In q single
county. Further divisions may be
expected in the next few years, and
another division proposition, upon
lines similar to those proposed at the
last election IL likely to carry. ~

LEeAL-FALuRE OF VOTERS TO REGISTER WAS
ACCOUNT NEGLECT FAULT OFFICERS AND
DOES NOT INvALIoATE VOTE IN THAT cxsE-FuLL TEXT OF
JUDGES MEMORANDUM FOLLOWS. >'.-

Judge c. F. Templeton OF Grand
Forks rendered a decision in favor OF
Ward county in the case in which 1t
was sought to have the vote of Ken
mare thrown out and Burke and Rem
Vile county propositions declared car
ried. Contestants assert that the vote
cast in Kenmare was illegal because
the provisions of the registration law
were not complied with. The court
holds that the Kenmare vote was legal
and gives it as his opinion that no
registration was upon these special
propositions. The court takes the view
that the question of the creation of a
new county was submitted to the cleo
tors on a separate ballot from that
used in the election of officials and in
a strict legal sense it was separate
election held with the general cleo
ton, and as part of it, to save ex-
ed in holding special election
The court further holds that even
though registration was required the
failure. of the electors of the city of
Kenmare to register was the fault of
the election officers. The law provides
that no refusal or neglect on the part
of any officer to perform his lawful
duties in connection Herewith shall
in anywise affect the validity of said
election. &#
In conclusion the court holds that
the statutory provisions regarding
are directory merely: and
not mandatory. ,-"t
The decision means that Ward
county will remain, as at present.

election of last fall, but Ward Is still

The. courts memorandum follows:
I have found substantially all the
facts requested by contestants bear
ing upon the vote in the city of Ken.
mare relative to the propositions OF
!; forming the counties Of Burke and
Renville.
First-It is my opinion that no reg
istration was required as requisite
precedent to entitle the electors of
Kenmare to. vote upon these special
propositions. In the case of State v.
Blaisdell, s119 N. w. 36O.364, the SUI
preme court uses this language: I'VE
held in the case of State ex rel. Nc
Cue w. Blaisdell IN. D. 118 N. w. 141)
that the provision in. the primary cleo
ton law, providing that the electors
might express their final choice for
United States senator at the general
election, was but continuation of
second primary on that subject; that.
as a matter of convenience and to
save expense, it was held at the same
time and place, and conducted by the
same officers as the general election.
That principle is analogous to the
principle involved in the controversy.
The question of the creation of a new
county is submitted to the electors
upon ballot separate and apart from
the one used for the election Of off,
cials. In strict legal sense it is a
separate election (Howland v. Board
100 Cal. 153, Al Pac. S64), but held in
connection with the general election,
and as part of it, to save the trou-
bic, expense, and time which would be
wasted in holding a special election,

Is more general attendance Ofvot-
ers at general elections than at most
special elections, and therefore likely
to be O. much more complete express
sion OF the preferences tof the cleo

It is true that the court says that
the election upon these propositions
was held in connection with the gen.
eral election, and as part Of It," but
the court also explicitly says that @fn
a strict legal sense 1t is q separate
election and that the election upon
these propositions is analogous" to
the selection of candidate for Unit
ed States senator was just as much
the selection of candidate for Unit
ed tSates senator was Just 40 much
held in connection with the general
election, and as a part Of it, as the
election upon the proposition of Gre
ating the counties Of Burke and Rem.
Vile. Certainly registration was not
a condition prerequisite to the right
of the electors in the city; of Kenmare
to vote for a candidate for. United
States senator. 1t follows IL the cleo
ton on the questions of creating the
new counties of Burke and Renville
is analogous" to the election OF. Sc
lecting candidate for United States
senator, as the supreme court gays it
Is, and by which this court is bound,
that no registration was necessary to
entitle the electors of the city of Ken
mare to vote upon these special pro-
positions. -.
Second-Even though registration
was required, the failure of the cleo
tors of the city of Kenmare to. regis
ter was the fault of the election OFF,
GERS. Section 1884, Rev. Codes, 1905,
which expressly relates to elections
upon the propositions of dividing
counties, provides that mo refusal or
neglect on the part of any official to
perform. his lawful duties in connec-
ton Herewith shall in anywise affect
the validity of said. election"
The foregoing statute was evidently
enacted bv the legislature to prevent
the failure. of election officers to per-
form their duties working the great
injustice Of DISTINGUISHING a'large body
Of electors without their fault, and
It's wisdom Is we'll illustrated by the
facts disclosed in these contests.
Third-Under the decision OF our
supreme court in Perry v. Hackney,
II N. D. 148, think the statutory pro-
visions regarding registration are d.
rectory merely and not mandatory. 4
