This interesting question forms the

OF Aberdeen, a present member of the

ii. Marquis, of Watertown, former pre-
siding judge of the third judicial cir
cult, who is an independent, nonparti?
san candidate for the place now held

have commended that his name, when
alphabetically arranged on the nom
partisan judiciary ballot which will be
furnished the voters at the general
election. November z, should precede
that of Judge Mccoy.
The attorney general of South Da-
kota was called upon for an opinion in
the matter by some of the county au-
ditors, and he has rendered an opinion
holding hat the name of Judge Mccoy
should appear before that of Judge
Marquis. He holds. in substance. that
