Every Party May Have Candidates

Des Moines Iowa. May 10. There
will be no exuse whatever for failure
of any political party to have county
ticket in the field this year :even though
candidates were backward in pressing
their claims and failed to get on the
printed ballots.
Attorney General George Cosson has
ruled that in the case of county offices
if there has been votes cast for candi-
dates by writing in of the names, but
failure to nominate for any reason,
the county convention will have juris-
diction and the right to fill out the
ticket. This will be the case whether
10 per cent of the county vote was
cast or not.
The last legislature amended the
primary law to shut out the making of
nominations for county and township
officers, where there had been fail
ure to file the papers, by vote of just
few of the electors who would write
in the names on the ballots. The
amendment requires 10 per cent of
the county vote of the party to make
a nomination by the writing in pro-
cess.
Some persons were disposed to hold
that unless 10 per cent of the vote was
thus cast the county convention could
not act; but attorney general holds that
the failure to get 10 per cent of the
vote operates exactly as the failure to
secure IS per cent on a state nomina-
ton would operate or in case of tie
vote anywhere. 1t follows therefore
that if candidates are voted for by
writing in, and nobody gets the needed
10 per cent, the county convention can
do the rest
1t required a somewhat liberal con-
clusion of the statutes to reach this
conclusion, but Attorney General Cos
son has leaned toward this liberal con-
struction on the theory that the pur-
pose of the law was to make it as easy
as possible to secure nominations and
not the purpose Of the law to deprive
any party of the right Of making nomi-
nations where it would be just as well
to have the nominations made.
1t is reported that out in the state
there are so many counties where there
were no candidates announced for the
county offices merely because of the
unwillingness of available persons to
go through the machinery of the pri-
mary. In such cases the decision opens
the door for nomination by conven-
ton with only little trouble.

Haugen--Murphy Contest is Over.

Washington. May 1s.-The house
committee on election decided today
to end the Haugen-Murphy contest.
1t held that Representative Haugen
was entitled to his seat. The demand
of Judge Wade, counsel for Murphy,
was carefully considered ard it was
held the showing made did not warrant
a recount.
This winds up the case, which has
been pending before the house for
many months.
