Following Is given the opinion of
the supreme court of the state OF
North Dakota in the case Of the fling
of petitions for the nomination for
the, position as United States senator.
The matter has been threshed out
in the press of the state for the past
few weeks and briefly the case is
this: q
Petitions to be placed on the pri-
mary ballot were presented by Judge
Eugerud and Thos. Marshall, the
former declaring himself candidate
for the United States senate and not
designating any particular term. The
petition of Thos. Marshall was for the
long term and so stated in the peti.
ton. Secretary of State Blaisdell &C.
cepted and placed on file both petit
tions and the attorney for Marshall
Immediately started q friendly suit to
prevent the name OF Engerud from
going on the ballot unless 1t was spe-
CITED for which term he was q candi-
date. y
The supreme court in its opinion,
upheld the contention OF the attorneys
for Mr.. Marshall and therefore the
ballots at the primary election will
specify what term the candidates for
the nomination as senator on the re-
publican ticket are aspiring.
Following is the opinion Of the
court in full:
State of North Dakota, ex REL, Andrew
Miller, as attorney general, and
Thomas F. Marshall, plaintiffs, vs..
Alfred Blaisdell, secretary of state
of the state OF North Dakota, de-
fendant.
l. Under chapter 100, laws of 1907,
known as the primary election law,
the petition of a candidate for United
States senator must specify the par
ticular term Of the Office which he is
candidate for, where there are two
vacancies to be filled at the same
time, one for FULL term and one for
an .unexpired part Of a term.
2. In such case the vacancies are

Never was there. however, any

anywhere near mile in 2.11, in fact
in those days the horse that went in
