CHAPTER /
Rud Lee Wants to Knolp


Bud Lee, horse foreman of the Blue
Lake ranch, sat upon the gate of the
home corral, builded a cigarette with
slow brown fingers, and stared across
the broken fields of the upper valley
to the rosy glow above the pine-tim-

He smiled at young Burkitt's
eagerness and turned away toward
the ranch-house and Bayne Trevors,

THIRD PARTY
NOT ELIGIBLE
FOR MARCH 1S
NOnpartisan Party Does Not
Gain Place in Presidential
Primaries, Opinion
HOW ABOUT DEMOCRATS?
Question Asked Attorney
General as TO Whether
They Also Have a Place

Unless the Nonpartsan League
party, declared TO have been cstab-
lishcd in the state when William
Lcmkc ran for Governor in the in
dividual column Of the state ballot
with this party designation after his
name, comes within the scope Of a
national test provided By law, it is
not entitled to a place on the March
IL primary ballot. according to in
formal advice given Secretary Of
State Thomas Hall By Attorncy-G Cen
crai George Shafcr.
The Attorney General states he
has not had time to satisfy himself
a. to how. if at all, the Nonpartisan
party may secure IA party column on
the general election ballot.
The efforts to determine party re-
lations prompted Il further inquiry
today by the Secretary of State as
to whether or not the Democratic
party is entitled to a place on the
Governor did not poll ; percent Of
the votes cast in the last election.
The questions asked the Attorney
General were: Is the Nonpart isan
party entitled to ballot at the
presidential primary election to be
held March 10. and if it is not en-
titled to ballot, may it nominate
presidential electors by petition and
have party column on the general
election ballot.
The Attorney General quotes sec
ton $50, of the Compiled Laws of
1913, relating to party ballots, as fol-
lows:
Any citizen otherwise eligible by
law, affiliated with or representing
the principles enumerated in the
national platform of the following
under this article; The republican
party, the democratic party, or any
party designation that cast five per.
cent of the votes cast for Governor
at the last general election"
1T will be noted the Attorney
General said, that IA right of cit
izen to nomination under party
ballot pursuant to this section, APP
pears to be determined by his affil-
iation with the principles set forth
in the NATIONAL PLATFORM of
his political party. Therefore, un-
less political organization has a
national platform and national po-
litical organization, it is not entitled
to receive separate ballot at the
presidential primaries, although such
political organization may have had
candidate for Governor who re-
ceived more than five percent of the
total votes cast at the last preceding
election.
My conclusion is that, unless the
so-callcd Nonpartisan party comes
within the scope Of this test of ma
tional character, it is not entitled to
ballot at the presidential primar-
les, and, Of course, the converse
would be true, if it does have a
national status, it would be entitled
to such ballot.
i have not had time to satisfy
myself as to what the law may be
upon the question of how, if at all,
the Nonpartisan party may secure a
party column upon the general cleo
ton ballot, by petition or otherwise.
so l do not express an opinion there
