Circuit Court has decided that Nor ton is the lawful treasurer Of the University of Arkansas, and the fact that Allen has appealed from that decision and filed a superse- deas bond, is not material in the determination of the question ask ed
 '.I am of the opinion. says the attorney general in his reply to the state treasurer. that you should not pay the warrant or recognize Allen as treasurer of the University of Arkansas. I think that Morton is not only the dejure treasurer Of the University of Arkansas. but also the de facto treasurer
 In explanation of this point, General Norwood says:
 The authorities uniformly hold that there cannot be an officer de jure and an officer de facto, both in possession of the office at the same time. In order to constitute person an officer de facto. he must be in actual possession of the of flee. and have the same under his control If the officer de jure is in possession he is officer de jure and also officer de faeto-no other person can be an officer de facto with respect to that office.
 Morton certainly was in posses sion, as he had in no shape or form surrendered possession to Allen, disputing and challenging Aliens rights to the office all the time. Allen could not be treated as an officer de facto unless he was in the possession of the office. and this he was not
 The law does not require any eer- tifieate or commission of election to be issued to the treasurer of the University of Arkansas. It does not require any announcement of the result by the chairman of the board to make the election val i'd
 Tt is undsputed that in the ab senee of any law or rule to the contrary a person who receives a plurality of votes is elected. The record shows that on the first bal lot of the seven votes that were cast Morton received four Allen two and Hall one.
 This made Morton treasurer de jure for a second term, but if there was any doubt about this, the fact that he had possession of the of flee made him de facto treasurer. IL. k Gazette
