titled further that he had given the or.

Construction by Courts Of Other States.
The North Dakota primary election
law, Chapter PIG, Session Laws, 1911,
was taken almost word for word from
the Washington statutes. Idaho has a
similar law, evidently also patterned
after that Of the state of Washington.
l. is the rule that where one state
tl:lcs " statute from anothe. vomm on.
wealth it also takes the construction
placed on the statute by the courts
from whence it came.
Decisions in Other States.
/ Two decisions have been rendered
Ky the supreme court Of the state OF
Washington and one decision has been
handed down by the supreme court Of
the state Of Idaho, upon the provision
OIL the primary election law regarding
balloting for first and second choice.
All three decisions hold that it is man
datory that the voters cast their bal
lots for both first and second choice.
The same construction must therefore
be placed upon the North Dakota stat.
utes which were taken from Washing.
ton state.
Only Vote Affected is Thrown Out.
Where a vote is thrown out and not
counted because the voter does not
cast both first and second choice bal.
lots, only the vote for that office so
affected is barred. The voters ballot
for other Offices on the ticket where
he has complied with the provisions
of the law is counted as usual.
How the Law Reads.
The wording Of the North Dakota
primary election law is almost iden.
teal with that of the Washington law
and reads as follows:
"When there are three or more
candidates for the same office for
United States senator or any con-
gressional or state Office, there
shall be printed upon the ballot
at the right of the name of each
candidate for such Office a square
in column marked ssFirst
Choice" and at the right of THE
"First Choice'' column square
in column marked t'Second
Choice.'' There shall be printed
above the names Of the candi.
dates for such Office the following:
coyote for boyh first and second
choice for this Office
"No voter shall vote for the
same candidate for both first and
second choice.''
The clause "Vote for both first and
second choice for this ofice' is in
the imperative tense and makes it man.
datory for the voters to obey its pro.
visions. It is in no sence a directory
clause.
Opinion Is Requested.
The secretary of state has requested
the attorney general to give an opinion
on this provision Ct the primary election
law. The decision will be handed down
within the next few days, as son as At
torney General Miller returns from Min
neapolis. What the opinion will be il
not known, Of course, but it is freel,
predicted that it will hold that tn
construction placed upon the statut
by the supreme court of Washington
must be observed in North Dakota, an,
that the voters of this state, wher
there are three or more candidates 70
United States senator or for any con
gressional or state Office, must cas-
their ballots for both first and secon
choice, or their vote will not be count
ed.

In speaking against extravaganza
in the matter Of flowers at funerals, a

display which is intended to be grand
is simply vulgar in the expenditure of
money sinfully. He spoke of the bead
and tinsel wreaths which are employed
by people in all walks Of life in some
parts of Europe which may be borrow
ed for the occasion from burial bust
ness concerns like our undertakes.
"These coffin decorations look quee,
