A Lawyer on the Decision.


The facts on which tie recent decision
Of the supreme court Of Idaho has or
dered stricken from the Pro -ressive
party, ticket the presidential electors
and congressman are In brief as fol-
lows:
About so Progressives Of the state
from 9 Of the % counties held a mass
convention at st. Anthony, Idaho, on
July 80, 1912. for the purpose Of or
ganizing the party in Idaho and nomi-
mating delegates to the Chicago con-
vention. At that meeting the names Of
three presidential electors were placed
in nomination, bat no state or con-
gressional ticket was nominated. The
state committee of the Progressive
MARTY decided subsequently to put a
gttzte ticket in the field, and on having
the legal phase of the matter look Led
into 1t was found that at the time of
the st. Anthony meeting. which was
the last date OH which a state con-
ventjon could be held, that the party
was not vet organized. and therefore
a convention as could nominate a
ticket in accordance with the meaning
OF the word convention" as defined
by the Idaho statute. The law, how
ever. provides for the nominating OF
candidates by petition in cases where
. party is not organized.
The central committee, therefore
circulated petitions conforming to the
statutory requirements throughout the
state and secured signatures in more

ceived and filed by the secretary OF
state.
l4epuhlieans Get Buoy.
Subsequently . very active RepuDH-
can at the instigation Of the Republic
can state central COMMITTEES brought
the action directly In the supreme
court asking that the secretary Of
state be restrained from certifying to
the county auditors Of the state the
Progressive ticket nominated by Pc
tition. The facts were agreed upon
and the supreme court held in accord
ance with the we'll established law.
that the meeting at st. Anthony was
not such convention as could have
nominated the required ticket. They
further held in conformity with the
express statute and former decisions IN
this state, that candidates. could be
nominated by petition, and that the
petitions in this case were such as
required by law. In the early part OF
their opinion they state as follows:
Unless a clear statute is violated, or
is about to be violated, courts will not
interfere. They .shoull not deny any
body OF electors the right &c vote for
candidates Of their choice on ques-
tionable or doubtful authority" But
they discover later on in their opinion
that in the statute relative to fixing
the number Of signers required for
these petitions that the law states for
state officers a certain number of sign
ers shall be required, for district Of
ficers certain Eumber, for county
officers certain number, and for pre-
cinct officers q smaller number. The
court, therefore, concludes that because
the statute does not expressly state
how many signers shall be required
for presidential electors that they cam
not be placed in nomination by petit
ton.
The Courts Irony.
The court states in it's opinion that
no method has been provided by stat
ute for nominating presidential cleo
| tors by petition" Un fact, there is no
statute in the state providing for their
| nomination in any way, even by con-
vention). "Such nominations may
therefore be made under our statute
| in any manner authorized by the state
central committee Of political par
ty" The irony of this language Is
found in the fact that the Progressive
state central committee authorized
these nominations to be made by petit
ton Of the electors This logic of the
court might be stated thus: Courts
will not deny electors the right to vote
for candidates of their choice unless
| a clear statute is violated. There is
no statute providing how presidential
electors may be selected. Therefore
the court sets aside the choice Of the
Progressive electors made by petition
| and concludes the only way electors
can be nominated is by state central
committee. although that method is MOI
authorized by statute.
