PARTIES CAN
NOMINATE IF
YOUNG QUITS
Unusual Political Situation
Created Out of Possible
Special Election


A political situation with unusual
angles may arise out of the expected
resignation of Congressman George
M. Young of the Second North Dako-
Ia District and the selection Of
successor at an election specially de-
signated. Because Of the referen-
dunn of the election laws enacted by
the legislature last winter, the cleo
tion would be subject to existing
laws under which, it is held here,
candidates would be- nominated in
political party conventions and also
could be nominated by petition. Al
though Washington reports say
Cong. Young may not resign it is
generally expected here he will.
The situation has brought to the
fore decision of the supreme court,
rcndeted July 9, 1917, in the case in
which the state of North Dakota, on
the relation of Olger B. Burtncss
sought to mandamus the Secretary
Of State to strike off the ballot at
special congressional election in
the First district the names Of GER
tain candidates who desired to with
draw. After the death of II. T. Hell
geson a Republican convention nom-
mated Mr.. Burtness, present Con-
gressman from that district, and
three other Republicans we're nomin-
ated by petition. They sought to
withdraw, but the court found that
the withdrawal was not offered in
time. In the decision the supreme
court reviewed the laws affecting
special elections.
The court held that the primary
law had not done away with the use
of the party nominating convention
in special elections, and in the case
successor to Mr.. Young is TO be
elected for an unfinished term, it
is held here that party conventions
could be held to nominate candidates.
Justice Birdzell, writing the opin-
ion in the Burtness case, said in the
syllabus: "Where the legislature.
for the avowed purpose of securing
the 'perpetuation of the political
parties,' provided for the selec-
tion of party candidates for public
office by popular vote, and by ex-
press enactment retains as part of
the machinery for placing candidates
upon the general election ballot, q
section of the statute (Revised Codes
1899,5OD authorizing the making Of
individual nominations by groups Of
electors independent of party affi-
liation, it is not to be assumed that
the legislature thereby intended tO
preclude party nominations fol
elections to which the primary law is
expressly declared to be inapplica-
ble."
The decision said that "the power
Of party committee to fill yacan.
cies on an election ballot, under
chapters 977 and 1888 Compiled Laws
Of 1918, can be exercised where 8
| vacancy occurs after . regular nom
ination, but not to make an origina
nomination."
