init me TO submit the following:

you can cut short the three days time

2. Your ruling is erroneous in counting
an intervening Sunday as one Of the three

didate by filing on Thursday could make
the limit two days, and nullify the law
through knowledge that your office is not
open on Sunday. Counting out Sunday,
my protest was in your hands within the

therefore ask you to set day for a
