LEGAL KNOTS IN ! .-,.o
h Issr,r COMING PRIMARY
Attorney General Asked 70 Pass on
Status Of Socialist Candidates
Second Choice Tangle

OILY MPIA, July 1S.--In order to
know how to prepare the ballots at
the coming primary election, I. M.
Howell, secretary of state, has writ
ten to w. ". Tanner. attorney gen.
eral. requesting information as to
whether or not che socialist party
must file list of their candidates
under the primary election law in or
der to have the names on the reg
ular ballot in November. and also as
to whether or not If there are four
candidates for the nomination for con-
gresham at large two to be elected,
the ballots must carry the markings
for the second choice. The primary
law provides that when there are
four or more candidates for any Of

In addition Secretary Howell will
shortly request Authorization as 20
whether cor mot the voter has the
privilege OF writing In the name Of
a candidate ON the ballot This will
apply particularly where a second
choice Is necessary as many voters de-
sire to vote for first choice and then

didate not on the ballot.
Formal Opinion Sought
This has been done In the past, but
in many instances the ballots were
thrown out and now information Is
requested to determine whether or
not these ballots are legal. The pre-
vailing opinion Is that they are legal.
but formal opinion will be asked in
order that definite Instructions may
be given to the election clerks and
judges.
Attorneys who have examined the
primary election law assert that 1t is
most confusing document. the lam

This is particularly true when /
comes to defining general elections.
Doubt a. to Meaning of Term
| If by general elections is meant
the elections held every four years for
the election of state officers, or the
election every two years for county
officers it may make considerable
difference in the construction of the
law. Ii 1t means every two years
then in 1914 there will be no state Of

candidates are considered state Off
Gals.
| As the supreme court judges as
well as the superior court judges
while included in the primary law,
are listed as nom partisan there will
be mo state officers up. although a
general election is held. AS a result

Rodney Ackley of this city, cam
didate for county superintendent of
schools, has just returned from a trip
to the lower end of the county where
he has been looking after his polit-

This is to certify that Mr.. Rodney
Ackley, who was principal of the

1905 to 1909, during which time the
undersigned constituted the school
board, proved himself to be thorough

training and natural adaptability to

liable school men that we have ever
been associated with 8. Aal
Our schools We're in poor condition
in practically all departments and
branches when Mr. Ackley took
charge. and the improvement under
his direction was SO marked during
the first year that his salary was
raised, and he was persuaded to re-
main for the second year, even
though his services were being so
licited by other districts
The second year was even more
successful and the pressure brought
to bear on Mr. Ackley to leave us
was considerable. however, we will
ingly gave another substantial in
crease in salary, and this, in co.nec-
ton with his property interests and
social ties, gave us the benefit of his
talents for the third year, but for
the fourth year such flattering offers
were made him from the outside that
much as We regretted it, we were not
successful in our efforts to persuade
him to remain with us, and he re-
moved to North Yakima, leaving our
schools in the pink of condition as
conceded by all it's patrons and ac-
quaintances.
