Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1912-07-31

The writ of mandamuS asked
for by Lem Allen through his at
torney James ID. Finch, to com
pei Secretary of State BrOdigan
To place the names of the Demo
cratic nominees for presidential
electors on file, was denied by
the members of the Supreme
Court in an opinion rendered this
afternoon.
In the opinion it sets out the
progress of this important politl-
cal decision. 1t recites the fact
that the Secretary of State IN
clnded in his call three presiden-
ital electors to be voted for at
the primary election. 1t fur
ther appears that the Democratic
party in regular convention
nominated three presidential
electors. and that the petitioners
contend that the selections of the
Democrats were the only legal
ones chosen under the primary
law. -
The opinion recites the ease
and the construction of the prim-
ary law. ,als9. the amended law OF
1911. whercyS other provisions,
that amend9d the later portion
Of Section 2.
The Comma
While dealing with the ''con-
ma that has caused so much
trouble to the law makers and
politicians the court says.
ION an examination of the
original enrolled bill, as filed in
the Secretary of States's S office,
of the original primary act OF
1909 and the amendment of 1911,
shows that in the original act a
comma is pleced after the word
vacancies" which in the amen
datory act is omitted. The query
arises, as to whether the omission
of the comma, as indicated, was
intentional. or whether omitted
by mistake or by inadvertance.
changes the original act by intent
or otherwise to the extent of pro-
vidins that presidential electors
must be selected at the primaries
rather than by convention as
heretofore provided.
eve think the names of the
presidential electors as selected
at the Democratic convention of
the Democratic party held in Fal-
lon in May 1912. are under the
law. the only presidential electors
to 90 upon the official ballot as
representing the Democratic
party for the general election IN
November 1912.
1t will be seen from the above
that had the Republicans failed
to call their second convention
and nominated presidential cleo
tors that they would have been
shut ont. The Democrats will
have to refile their petition at
the specified time, and the court
orders the Democratic presiden-
tial electors on the ticket at that
time.
We come now to the prayer OF
the petitioner wherein it is asked
that a writ of mandamus issue
against the Secretary of State to
compel him to accept and file the
certificates Of nomination of the
said presidential electors chosen

all we may not face very serious taril
