Board Of Affairs
Decides On No

Convention
*
niismsmm j
Believed that Nothing Short
of Court Order Can
Stop Move.
Awakening to the (act that on December
11, Just two months from tomorrow,
the citizens ot Fairmont may
walk to the polls to choose new city
officials to replace those now In office,
the politicians are already busy talking
I ?r possible candidates. That the city
' officials now in charge of affairs at the
I c <ty hall are planning to hold the elect-on,
as provided for In the charter under
which they are operating, was
r jade known yesterday afternoon when ?3
the Board of Affairs met and worked
out plans for the prellmlnariesVto an
election.
After a discussion taking up the 0, '
greater part of the afternoon, dealing si.'.J
largely with the legal phases of the '
election, the Board of Affairs decided
to have nominations made either by the. ,
convention system or by the petition
method.
If present plans are carried through
the dominant political parties will hold
tueir convention and chooBe candl- i
dates. The date on which these conventions
are to be held has not as yet
been announced. The charter provides
that tn case the candidates are chosen .
by convention, said convention must
have been held and the candidates submitted
to the civic board not later than
5 days previous to the date of election. C-. 5
it an election is held on December ,11. f
the last day of grace for submitting
the candidates will be Thursday, November
15.
Nomination by petition may be made
at any time.'just so the names Of the
candidates are submitted in time to get
their names on the ballots. To nominate
by petition it ic necessary to have
one per cent, of the total vote cast at
the preceding election. In that 8,000
votes were cast at the last municipal
election in Fairmont it will require 30
votes to this year nominate by petition. .
The only way by which the election
tnat is being planned may be stopped
-Aould be by the objection of some .J
court, not necessarily the Supreme
Court, but by any court of jnrulsdlp- *
tion. Inasmuch as the New charter
that of 1915) is at present pending in
the United States Supreme Court at > i
Washington, there is a possibility ?bat this
court may object to the election *
before the charter now before tt.'la'sSseis
acted upon. With the supposition th?t
there will be no objection, the city of- - .-a
lleials met yesterday for the purpose
