COUNTY CHAIRMAN MUST BE
DULY ELECTED COMMITTEEMAN.
Pollock Holds That County Committee Of Given Party
Cannot Go Outside Of Their Own Numbers to
Select a Chairman

According to a decision OF Judge
Chas. a.. Pollock, rendered late yes.
terday the members who make up the
county committees OF any politica.
party must name one of their owr
number as chairman.
The case was the one which was
transferred to Judge Pollock's court
by Judge Frank p. Allen of the Fourth
judicial district. The action was en-
titled J. M. Hammond VS.. Jacob
Meidtnger and came from Mcintosh
county.
Judge Pollock'r official opinion was
in full as follows:
Can chairmen Of each precinct conn
mittee, when assembled as consti-
tuting the county committee of a Civ
en- party, select a legal voter of the
county, outside of their own number,
as their chairman?
AT the outset we are confronted
with this question. Paragraph 40. D.
164, Laws of 1907, states, 1.-THE chair
mar of each precinct committee shall
constitute the county committee of
each county" Under the previous
section, 80, there is a provision for
the election Of the party precinct
committee, and the three having the
highest number of votes shall consti-
tute such committee, and the one
having the highest number of votes
shall be chairman" Paragraph 40,
with reference to the organization Of
the committee, states They shall
meet at the county seat between Aug.
! and Aug. 10 following every primary
election, and organize by selecting a
chairman, a secretary and a treasurer,
and shall adopt rules and modes Of
procedure" etc., and continuing, pre-
scribes as part of their duties that
they shall at the same time select
n person, who shall be a legal voter
to act upon and be a member Of the
state central committee of such par
ty," etc.
It is a conceded fact in this case
that the plaintiff was not elected un-
der the provisions of Section SO as
a precinct committeeman, was not it's
chairman, and therefore was not a
member of the committee by the
election method prescribed by law,
and his sole authority for acting, if
any, exists by an alleged appointment
by the committee.
1t becomes necessary to settle this
question in the first instance, because
If the plaintiff was Ineligible to hold
the office, he cannot prevail in this
proceeding.
If the court shall confine himself to
the language of the statute strictly,
it seems to me there can be no ques-
ton as to what should be it's plain
construction. Paragraph 40 in terms
gives the qualifications of the COM
mittee: THE chairman Of each pre-
cinct committee shall constitute the
county committee of each county"
What language could be palmer? 1t
does not say they shall constitute the
committee, together with one other, to
be appointed by them.
If we. follow the analogy of the rules
and regulations of deliberative bodies,
we find that committees are made up
of members of the body, and that
body determines the number, and
would have the right to determine the

qualifications Of each member. Elk
animation of Roberts Rules of order,
Tor example, discusses how chairmen
are usually appointed, and they are
from the members of the committee.
so thai IL we go outside OF the statute
2 consider the matter from the
standpoint of usual procedure. ac-
cording to parliamentary usages, the
chairman of the committee is always
a member of the committee. unless
otherwise specifically provided by the
appointing power. In the absence OF
any rule to the contrary, it is usually
the person who makes the motion, or
the n who is named first.
] believe that when we had the con-
vention system, frequently by order
OF the state convention committees
were usually named from each legis-
Iative district, and then was added a
statement that there should be one
committeeman at large who should be
designated as the chairman, but the
state convention had the power to fix
the number and qualifications of the
several members of the COMMITTEES.
Under the present law, the convention
- SNSAA AAofilA9 NCdSGdp the 1GSlEIdLuTG
has determined by a statute the quail
f~heattons of the members of the COM
mittee. IL we look into the purpose
of the law, it is clear that the legis-
lature attempted to give the people the
right to name the committee. 1t would
a strange rule that would require
the election of every member of the
committee but one.
So that if we view the purpose of
the statute, the general methods of
procedure of committee in de~liberative
bodies, and the plain terms of the
statute, we necessarily arrive at the
one n only conclusion that under
the law of this state the voters in
their several precincts have the right
to determine primarily who shall con-
stitute the entire membership of the
committee. In this case this rule was
not followed. and we are confronted
with an application for the relief from
a person who is ineligible to hold the
Office to secure which he has insti-
tuted this proceeding. No useful pur-
pose can be subserved by the court
passing upon any of the other sew
eral questions involved in this litiga-
ton, in view Of the conclusion to
which the court has arrived as an
nounced above.
1t is therefore ordered, that the tenn
porary restraining order heretofore
and on Feb. 20, 1912 issued by Hon.
Frank p. Allen, judge of the Fourth
judicial district, and which has re-
manned in force OF the present time,
be n the same is hereby in all things
dissolved, vacated and set aside, and
that the defendant have his costs on
this motion which are hereby taxed
at the sum of SIS.
To which orders and the whole
thereof counsel for the plaintiff ex-
cept, which exception is allowed and
made a part of the record.
Dated at Fargo, N. D., April "a, 1912.

dieial district, acting for and upon the
written request of Hon. Frank p.

The result was sharply contested
and all of the men did excellent work.
Following the contest a reception was
held for the visitors at the state science
school, under whose auspices the con-
test was held.
The officers of the State League Of
Oratory held a meeting yesterday and
transacted considerable business. Ac-
cording to the constitution the presi-
dency goes to Fargo college next year,
the vice presidency to the state school
of science, the secretaryship to the
agricultural college and the treasurer
ship to the university.
This is the second consecutive time
that Fargo college has won this hon.
or, as Mr.. Stillwell of that institution
carried off first places in both the state
and interstate contests last year. Mr..
Sharp is a sophomore in college and a
graduate of the Moorhead high school.
He has represented his college in two
intercollegiate debates.
Albert Void of the university, presi-
dent of both the State League of Ora
tory and the Western League of Ora
tory, presided at the contest,
ne winning OFaLIOHs
Mr.. Sharp spoke on David Living
ston. He treated Of the spirit of the
age ii which Livingston lived, the
synical attitude of the people towards
foreign missions in his day, and dealt
with his life in a textual manner.
Taking him as a mere boy, the
speaker traced his entire life, his pre-
paration, his great sacrifices, his un-
swerving devotion to his work and his
noble death. BY contrasting him with
Napoleon, Bismarck, Lincoln and 9TH
er great men Mr.. Sharp showed the
importance of his work to the world
and that Livingston was indeed one of
the great men Of the country,
ogaard's Address.
The last speaker was Arthur Ogaard
Of the agricultural college. His sub
ject was the Real Peril. Mr.. Qgaard
commended that the most dangerous
tendency in the United States today is
that of lawlessness. Nowhere, he de-
clared, was lynching and mob vio-
lence so prevalent as here. Labor or
CARNATIONS often show an utter disre-
gard for the law. Capitalists employ
expensive counsel not to comply with
the law, but to evade it.
There are many causes for this
seeming disregard for law, enc of
the greatest is the t~echnicalities of
court procedure which often makes
the administration of justice a farce.
The speaker proposed the adoption Of
the system Of procedure to cure this
defect. He declared that c~onfidence in
the law nus be restored If the Ameri-
can citizen was to walk the path of
civic righteousness.
