THERE is not always a vacancy in
office when there seems to be
according to a decision handed down
by the supreme court on Saturday
in the case of John l.. Sweeney, ap-
pellant, against the state of Arizona,
appellee, from Navajo county. This
involves a dispute over the office of
justice of the peace al Winslow. The
appellant had been appointed justice
OF the peace following the death Of
Col. j. f. Mahoney. who had been
elected to succeed himself but died
before he could qualify.
The board of supervisors appointed
w. A. Parr to the office but he soon
after resigned and Sweeney was ap-
pointed. The appointment of Swee-.
ney had been made for the ''unex-
pired term
A new board or supervisors, on the
the time of the appointment of both
Parr and Sweeney, appointed Robert
r. Walton to the office and the coun-
ty attorney began quo warranto pro-
ceedings against Sweeney. The only
question to be decided was whether a
vacancy existed at the time OF the
appointment and qualification of
Walton. The court below held that
such vacancy existed.
The supreme court reversed this
finding holding briefly that upon the
death of Colonel Mahoney vacancy
occurred which was duly filled by the
appointment Of Parr; upon the lat
ter'g resignation another vacancy re-
suited which was filled by the ap-
pointment Of Sweeney, who succeed
cd thereby to the unexpired term
with the power and capacity to hold
over until the election and Qualifica-
tion Of his successor, holding by such
constitutional tenure that the office
did not and could not become vacant
upon the failure Of Mahoney TO
qualify.
