delayed action for the sole purpose
of giving anybody In Kansas an Op-
portunity to bring such test case.
That the learned lawyers, who first
took issue with him finally adopted
his view of the law Is evidenced by
the fact that they have finally, one
and all, advised against bringing the
suit.
The Attorney General offered to
waive all questions as to the right
of the Roosevelt electors or any phi
vate citizen to bring such suit and
have the court pass squarely upon
the merits Of the case as to whether
or not the supreme court would hold
that the Watson decision is still. the
law in Kansas. But the Roosevelt
attorneys thought 1t wasn't worth
while.

the protest of Mr.. Watson himself.
The facts In the present case are
these: There are now, and for sew
eral weeks past have been, ON file
in the secpetary's office, three GER
tificates duly executed by the con-
vention officers of the three political
parties-the Republican, Democratic
and Socialist. The Republican certa-
flcate shows that Taft and Sherman
are the Republican nominees; the
Democratic certificate shows that VIII
son and Marshall are the Democrat
nominees; and the Socialist cerifi-
cate shows that DebS and Seidel are
its nominees.
No certificate or other notice has
been filed in that office on behalf Of
any other person claiming either the
Republican. Democratic or Socialist
nominations for President and Vice
President.
The Kansas supreme court in the
Watson case said: "a certificate Of
nomination. the guide to the secre-
tary Of state. and he should follow
it in giving direction to the county
clerks as to the making up of the Of
ficial ballot. We think it plain that
he has no right to omit the party ap-
pellaton, nor the names Of the presi.
dental and vice prudential candi-
dates added to the party appellation
by the authority of law and prop
erly appearing In the certificate"
The secretary Of state Is a mere
ministerial officer and not censor
Of political parties nor a guardian Of
public morals. and that even the
court itsef could not pass judgment
upon the motive which actuate a DO
dHcal party for that Is not iurispru-
dence, but politics." That Is the law
as 1t stands today.
At the party council Secretary Of
State Sessions stated that he would
welcome a suit against him to test
the question anew. He could have
certified out the names Of Taft and
Sherman for several weeks past, but
