DECLARES AT
GENERAL GATES
THE BOARD NOW At SEA
Lack of House Quorum When the
Election was Taken Up Viola
ton of Law, Says Gates

Nashville, May 8.-Gen. Chas. T.
Dates rendered an opinion this
morning in which he holds the ekc-
ton of l.. M. Stratton to member
ship on the state board of elections
is illegal and, as result Of this opin.
ion, the board is entirely at sea what
to do in the premises. The men,
bers of the board conten themselves
with the Developments of today, and
make no suggestion of what will be
done tomorrow.
In view of this opinion no session
will be held this afternoon, but an
other is called for tomorrow at 10
O'Clock. Whether any appoint
ments will be made or not, remains
to be decided on.
The question submitted to Gen.
Gates was: Whether L. M.
Stratton was duly and legally elected
a member of the state board of cleo
tions, in view of the fact that a con-
stItutional quorum of the house of
representatives was not present when
the motion or resolution to fix the
date of the election was passed or
agreed to by the house"
The answer of the attorney-pen.
eral was
Assuming that a constitutional
quorum was not present and acting
in the house of representatives at the
time the motion or resolution to en-.
.er upon the election of a member
of the station board of elections was
passed, such motion or resolution
vas not legally passed or adopted
md therefore constituted no author
ty for an election Hereunder and
my attempted election Hereunder
n my opinion is not legal and is not
n conformity with the acts of
9oo."

The market continued to receive some
support from the leading bulls during
the forenoon. There was also moderate
buying from spot interests and while
trading was not active, the market ruled
generally steady and about ! to points
