Opinion by Attorney General.

n. Cunningham, Esq. Carlsbad, n. M.
Dear Sir: Your letter OF the lst
inst, which must have been delayed
on the road somewhere, has been Tor
warded to me from Santa Fe. ] ad-
nit the force of the objections when
YOU make to the law, and think 1t
might have been better II congress
had provided that all officers now III
office should hold over until the or
ganization Of the state government,
but | am unable to find in the lansu-
age OF the act of congress anything 10
indicate such an intent as To prectnct
and school district officers. / think
the act relates only to officers elected
at the general election in 1908, al
though a very narrow construction
might lead to the belief that the
language about that election only re-
fers to the delegates to congress In
addition to this, however, it would not
be reasonable TO hold that the phrase
county officers was meant to IN
cIude precinct officers and school di-
rectors who are not ordinarily con-
sidered county officers.
Provision is made in the constitu-
ton as you will see by reference to
section 3 OF article %. that all persons
holding offices under the authority
of the territory at the time of the ad-
mission Of the state shall continue to
hold until superseded by the officers
provided by the constitution.
Yours truly,
