years is hale and hearty man, his
faculties as yet undimmed by the
hand of time; and with a diversified
knowledge of the requirements of the

ton to the position to which he has
been called. For years he has been
great favorite with the rank and file

ial mention throughout the scientific
world, with faithfulness for the
gospel with which he is identified,

thor of several valuable works on the

Plan. @
Salt Lake City, Dec. 9.-By handing
down an opinion yesterday afternoon
affirming the constitutionality of that
portion of the commission form OF
government law relative TO the form
of ballots used at elections under the
act, the Supreme court of the state OF
Utah placed the stamp of validity up.
on the law and holds that the officials
chosen TO office at the recent city ell
ection were properly and legally elect
ed to the positions which they will
take January I, 1912.
This decision written by Justice
d. N. Straup and conquered in by the
| full membership of the supreme
bench, settles for all time the validity
Of the only feature of the commission
form of government law that has been
questioned. It enables the new form
Of government to be ushered IN at
the first of the year without question
and the new officers to assume the
duties and authority of their offices
without a cloud of doubt as to their
perfect legal right to do so.
The only point upon which the val
idity of the law was attacked that
portion providing for the form of bal
lnf n hn at OIL
which was assailed on the ground
that is restricted the exercise of free
right of franchise on the part of a
voter, was held not to be open to legal
objection. The court holds that there
is nothing in the law prohibiting the
placing of a blank form of ticket be-
side the prescribed ticket and moth
ing that in any way prohibits or re-
strains a voter from writing in the
name of and voting for any person
ca complete list of persons he may de-
sire.
The court holds that the provision
Vt the law relative to the placing of
names on the official ballot applies to
the officer whose duty it is to pre-
pare the official ballot and that there
is nothing expressed or implied that
prohibits voter from writing the
name of any one he chooses upon the
ballot and having the same counted as
his vote. sug1KyuEn
Writ is Ordered Issued.
The opinion confirming the new
law was rendered in the case of Sam
uel G. Park against Ben S. Rives, city
recorder Of Salt Lake, an action for
peremptory writ of mandate compel
ling the recorder to issue a certificate
of election TO Mr.. Park and the com
missioners and auditor elected to Of
flee at the same time as Mr. Park
The formal certificate will be issued
as soon as MIR Rives can have them
autographed. II
Preparations to test the law were
begun by NJ L. Mulvey even before
the primary election was held and
the case was taken through the court
and finally settled in less time. per
haps, than any other case that has
ever been before the supreme tribun.
