Won't Call Special Election.

Won't Call Special Election.
Governor Carroll will not order a
special election in the Seventh dis
trict to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Senator w. d.
Jameson, who became congressman
from the Eighth district March A. He
has had the matter up with Attorney
General Byers, who gives it as his
opinion that the statute is not man.
datory.
Governor Carroll has taken the mat
ter up by correspondence and person
al interviews with leading politicians
in the district and there appears to
be an overwhelming opinion that an
election should not be called.
Assuming that the legislature will
not adjourn until the second week in
April it would be impossible ror the
person elected to serve more than
ten days or two weeks, the law pro-
viding that at least ten days notice
shall be given before the holding of
the election. The expense would per-
haps amount to something like $4,000
and in view of the short time that the
person elected would have to serve
it is deemed advisable not to call the
special election.
