OFFICERS WHOSE TERMS EXPIRE
IN 1918 NEED NOT BECOME
CANDIDATES THIS YEAR.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
However, the Interpretation Of Spe.
clfic Wording Of Statute Must Be
Made to Conform With Spirit
and Contention Of the Act.

Little Rock
The Supreme Court handed down
an opinion constituting that part of the
law consolidating national and state
elections as applied to the election of
supreme judges, chancellors and cir.
cult judges, holding that judicial off.
GERS, whose terms expire in 1918,
need not become candidates this year
in the event they desired 10 retain
their positions.
1T must be conceded says the
court, that a literal reading Of the
statute suStains the contention that
the judges must run, for the statute
provides in so many words that the
election shall be for judges of the Sd
preme and circuit courts, when the
term Of office Of any judge shall ex-
pire before the next general cleo
ton"
The court held, however, that the
Interpretation Of the specific wording
OF the statute must be made to con-
form with the spirit and intention OF
the act
There are several reasons why It
is apparent that the trainers of the
statute did not intend what q liberal
meaning OF the statute as whole
would imply. In the first place, the
statute provides that senators OF the
United States shall be elected at each
biennial election, but we know that
the lawmakers did not intend to ac-
complish that result, inasmuch as the
Constitution of the United States
nxes the terms Of senators at six
years. In the next place, the interpre-
tation contended for would require all
Of the state senator's, those whose
terms begin in the year 1918, as well
present year, to be elected at the next
election, to be held in November, 1916.
1t is inconceivable that that was the
intention Of the trainers of the statute,
for it is certainly contrary to the
policy Of the state to elect senator's
so long a time before The commence
ment of their services. Besides, 1t
would be in direct conflict with the
express letter Of the constitution
which provides that the terms of sena,
tors shall begin with the dates Of
their election"
