sAlive to Their Duty


Mr.. Ralston claimed that the President
and Senate were both alive to their duty
when the selection and confirmation of
Mr.. Newman were made, and did their
full duty. He urged that the judiciary,
a coordinate branch of the government,
may not step beyond the radius of its
jurisdiction and assume to review the ac-
tion of other coordinate branches of the
government in which the law has repos-
ed exclusive Jurisdiction of making and
confirming appointments to public Of
flee.
Senator Bailey and Attorney Birney
in their argument suggested that the
points relied on most Strenuously by At
torney Ralston- are not to be considered
by the court because they attack the
action of Justice Wright in the discre-
ton imposed on him by the law Justice
Wright having exercised his discretion
and ordered the writ to issue, it was
claimed, a judge of similar Jurisdiction
is without power to go back of that
action an dinquire into the reasons NOV
ing the discretion exercised.
Reviews Facts First.
Attorney Ralston first reviewed the
facts in the Newman case He Do nted
out that the claim has been made that
Mr. Newman's residence in Washington
had been so broken that he could not
qualify under the law which provides an
actual residence of three years before
the appointment necessary for a District
Commissioners. Mr. -Ralston urged that
President Wilson knew of the quaifica-
ton required for an appointee and it
must be inferred that the President pass
ed on the question before making the
appointment. Objection to the confirma-
tion of Mr.. Newman was made to the
Senate and with full knowledge of the
supposed defects the Senate unanimously
confirmed Mr.. Newman, the lawyer
stated.
Cites Lack of Interest.
Lack of interest in the office was then
pointed out by counsel. He urged that
W. J. Frizzell, the petitioner, had not
shown such interest as the law REQUIRES
to enable him to question the eligibility
of Mr.. Newman. A mere taxpayer. 1t was
claimed, has no such legal interest In the
Office Counsel differed with the finding
of Justice Wright that taxpayer is suffi-
GENTLY interested to question the QuaIifi-
cation of the incumbent of an office of a
municipal corporation.
MI Ralston also claimed there is shown
to be no public interest to be served by
the prosecution of the effort to oust Mr.
Newmap.
