PROVIDES OPINION ON
PRIMARY ELECTION LAW
Deputy District Attorney Shaw
Declares Installment Plan
Petitions Are Not Legal
In reply to a request by County
Clerk C. O. Keyes for Information re
garding two points in the primary law,
the district attorney's office, through
its deputy, Hartley Shaw, yesterday
! gave opinions on the law which arc
lof considerable Interest In view of
the approaching primary election In
August. The Interpretation of the
law by Shaw Is that candidate! de
siring to have their names on the of
ficial primary ballot cannot file nom
ination papers on the installment plan,
und that the county clerk must disre
gard the names of persons who do
not declare tin party affiliations
j when they filter.
Keyes' first question was, whether a
candidate, after he has filed ■ set Ol
papers which are examined by the
cleric and found to bo Insufficient to
entitle him to a place on the ballot,
I may Hie additional papers within the
' time limit provided by law In order
to bring the number of legal signa
tures up to the registered percentage.
"This question Is a difficult matter,"
said Attorney Shaw. "The primary
law as a whole is not In satisfactory
shape. it appears on its face to be a
patchwork composed of previsions
taken from various sources, without
proper care being taken by Its framem
to see that the various pieces fitted
neatly together."
Quoting the law on the subject,
BhRW said:
"The name of no candidate shall be
printed on an official ballot to be used
nt any primary election unless at least
thirty days prior to the primary elec
tion. If a candidate Is to be voted for
at the August primary election.
"When nomination papers shall have
been received which contain 10 • per
cent of the total vote, the officer with
whom such papers are required to be
filed shall not receive or file further
nomination papers for the candidate.
Ml« rom r.vi-Kiw TIM.F.TIIKIC
"I am of the opinion," said Shaw,
"that the Intention of the law is that
a candidate must file all of his pa
pers at one time. There is no ap
parent reason why a candidate should
file several copies of the same affi
davit, and yet if papers may be Hied
on the Installment plan he would be
obliged to do so. it must have been
intended that if one affidavit la Bled
with all of them, they must all be filed
,it once.
"A candidate who feels aggrlved at
your action on this opinion may easily
secure redress by resorting to man
damus suit, whereby if you adopt the
Installment plan, and It should be er
roneous, there would be no Immediate
means of redress."
The m nd question risked by the
county clerk was us to whether in ex
amining nomination papers be should
disregard the names of persons who
have not at the time of registering de
clared their party affiliations to be the
same as those of the candidate they
aspire to place In office.
"You state that In Borne Republican
petitions," replied Shaw, "which you
have been checking, you tlnd signa
tures of persons who have registered
as Democrats, or refuse to state th( ii
party affiliations. 1 beg to advise you
that In my opinion these should bo
rejected.
"The primary election Is In the na
ture of things partisan, It is pro
vided for the purpose of enabling
the members of respective parties to
select candidate of those parties for
the offices to be filled .at the gen
eral election. It would be contrary
to the theory of such primary election
to allow pcrcona not members of a
party to participate In any way In
choosing candidate* of that party,
whether by voting at the election or
by securing names on the primary
election ballot."
Attorney Shaw quoted a recent de
cision of the supreme court of th.
: i,it. deciding similarly on the pro
visions of the question askad by the
county clerk.
SPANISH DUEL HAS
RIDICULOUS ENDING
Official Is Injured While Climbing a
Wall to Halt Combat in Which
No Blood Has Been Spilled
MADRID, April Captain Quelpo,
a cavalry officer, hat just spent a
month's imprisonment In a fortress,
owing to the role he played in con
nection with the manifestations against
certain promotions of officers who
served In the Rift campaign, It had
been arranged that on his discharge
he was to fight a duel with Senor
Rafael Eshry, editor of the newspaper
El Bjercito Espanol, and this comb
at took place a few days ago.
The duelists arc fencing experts of
an unusually high standard, and the
bitterness between the two men Wai
no great that it was generally be
lieved the Issue might be fatal.
The captain and his adversary left
for the ground selected In two pow
erful motor cars and succeeded in out
distancing a third car containing the
chief of police, who sought to arrest
the parties concerned, as the Spanish
law prohibits dueling. The principals,
however, with their seconds and doc
tors, reached a field surrounded by a
wall, where they were able to lock
themselves In.
"When the chief of police came up
he found It necessary to climb the
wall, the. top of, which waa amply pro
vided with a covering of broken bot
tles. He then Jumped from his perilous
position and fell between the duelists, a
distance of some ten feet. The com
bat, of which two engagements had
been fought without Injury to either
of the participants, was at once
brought to a sudden termination, and
the dueling party declared under ar
rest. The attention of the doctors,
however, had at once to be concen
trated on the unfortunate chief of po
lice, whose hands, feet and legs were
bleeding profusely as a result of his
experience on the top of the wall.
It is the lighter aspect of the affair
, hi.li has attracted persona In Madrid
society, ho jokingly say that this Is
the in i duel in which the police rep
resentative was wounded, while the
chief parties concerned were uninjured.
All those engaged In the affair were
taken to the police station and tin;
usual prosecution will follow.
