MORE TROUBLE
IN SIGHT FOR
N. .D.DEMOCRATS
Halvorson's Filing Raises
Question Concerning Bur-
chard's Right TO File

New complications loomed today in
the already tangled situation in
which North Dakota Democrats find
themselves in their efforts to place 4
ticket Of state candidates in the field
at tho primary election June 3O
Halvor l.. Halvorson. Minot, ycstcr-
day filed petition of five Democratic
electors asking that his name be
placed on the ballot as candidate
for nomination as United States SEN
ator.
/ The question Immediately was
raised in some quarters as to whether
or not this would prevent +. +. Burch-
ard. Grand Forks. from also filing
under the law designed to permit
political parties to fill vacancies in
their tickets in the event that no one
files in the regular manner. Burch-
ard was the endorsee Of the Dem
ocratic convention held April 10 at
Valley City.
Both Secretary of State Byrne. the
states chief election officer, and the
attorney generals office refused to
comment.
One view expressed was that it
would be contrary to the spirit of the
primary law to limit the field to the
first man filing after the fact had
been established that there was va
cancy on the ticket. The primary
law. it was contended. was intended to
give party adherents an opportunity
to select their. candidate for office
from as many as wished to offer
themselves. A factor in support Of
this contention, it was said, is that
the courts always have been disposed
to place liberal construction on
election statutes.
Another view was that the vacancy
was filled when HalvOrson filed his
petition this afternoon. therefore
none exists for Burchard to fill by
adopting the same method which Hal
verSon used.
