NEW BANGLES WOVEN ABOUT
 THE CONTEST


 (Continued from rage OneJ
 complaint and motion for a tempor- ary writ of injunction. Judge Sloan. representing Governor elect Thomas r.. Campbell, requested time within which to file a motion to intervent for the reason that the interests of his client were vitally concerned in the proceedings. and that under the statutes of the state it was such case as made it the duty of the court Go permit the intervention. Both Sen ator Ives and Attorney General Jones opposed the motion and demanded that the court proceed with the case
 In the course of the argument Judge Sloan called attention to the statute which provides that any person who fas an interest in the subject matter of the suit which may be affected by the Judgment. may intervene in such suit or proceedings at any time before the trial. upon obtaining leave of the court SO to do. He also declared that the rule is universal to permit inter- vention when the application is sea sonahly made to any case where the in terests of the intervenor may be af- | fected by the suit. He pointed out that in this case what is sought Co be restrained is an issue of a certificate to Mir Campbell
 Manifestiy. therefore. no one else could possibly be interested in the pro- ceedings. lie also called attention Of the court to the fact that while the att ] torney general appeared ostensibly to oppose the motion. that in fact he ap- peared in the interest of Governor Hunt lie stated that that Is shown from the fact that he did not consult with the attorneys for Mir. Campbell or advise them of the prOceedings but on the contrary has consulted with Mir Ives and is acting m full sympathy with the contestant: that il is only fair and right that Mir. Campbell be represented in the court to prosecute what are manilestiy his interests. The attorney general did not consent 10 the request and joined with Mir Ives in opposing the application.
 Sloan Willing to Contest
 | Tn the course of the discussion Judge 1 Sloan stated that if counsel for Gov ernor Hunt would withdraw their op- ] position Co the issue of certificate Of | election to Governor Campbell and if the secretary should then issue such , certificate and it be then stipulated , that full force and effect be given the 1 certificate on January lst. that coun- 1 sel for sir. Campbell would consent to i the immediate filing of new contest ! proceedings and that they would at ! once file all answer and permit the 1 contest to proceed as it was wben ter minated by the order of the court This i offer was rejected by Mir Ives
 Judge Sloan then requested Judge { Stanford to postpone his ruling on the application until the matter could be :; fully argued before him. Thereupon | Judge Stanford denied the application | and directed an order to be made to this effect. The attorney general then filed demurrer to the complaint and by agreement the matter was imme diately submitted to the court. The court thereupon sustained the de- murrer. MT. Ives then gave notice of appeal Co the supreme court and asked the attorney general to waive cost bond which was consented to by him.

 plication for writ of prohibition
