SUCCESSOR TO TAGGART—HOW? (Continued Prom Page One.) the public press that the state central committee should nominate a democratic candidate foe United States senator, because Thomas Taggart has said he was not a candidate in a letter he wrote to the secretary of state, 1 beg to submit that the primary election law Includes these functions, slz: “1. To select the committeemen and delegates essential to party organization. ”2. To nominate candidates for certain offices to be elected by the people. T ”3. To instruct delegates to state and national conventions whose duty it is, under the law. to make exposition of party policies and to nominate party candidates for the offices (1) of president; (2) of vice president; (3) of United States senator; (4) of governor. “The law throughout is arranged according to the distinctions which exist between the two classes of public offices, viz.: (1) Those for which nominations shall be made at the primary election, and (2) those for which nominations shall be made at state or national conventions, ss the case may be, of the respective parties, nitber by Instructed or uninstructed delegates. "Whan the nomination Is for one of those offices whose candidates shall lie selected finally at the primary election the candidates must file a ‘declaration of candidacy’ before his name may be placed on the primary ticket. This provision of the law does not aply to the offices of president, vice president, United States senator and governor. “When the nomination is to be made at a party convention the primary election shall determine whether the delegates shall be instructed to vote for a particular person or participate in the convention without instructions. The primary vote as to Instructed or uninstructed delegates Is obtained by means quite different from those which pertain to and control the conduct of candidates for offices to be nominated by the primary. PETITION OF VOTERS GUIDE AT PRIMARIES. “The vote cast at a primary on the issue of instructed or uniustructed delegates to a state or national convention is obtained, not by the filing of a candidate's ‘declaration of candidacy,' but by the filing of ‘a petition of voters.' “The primary election law prescribes the statutory form of a declaration of candidacy and that statutory form is quite as definite as the description of a deed, a mortgage or au.v other statutory form of instrument. This ‘declaration of candidacy,’ If filed with the secretary of state. Is limited by la-v to the 'member of the national house of representatives; member of the general assembly, judicial office.’ “A candidate for United States senator can not lawfully file a ’declaration of candidacy’ with the secretary of state or with any other person, and if be can not lawfully file such an instrument he can not, of course, lawfully withdraw it. All snch proceedings being unauthorized by law are wholly void. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL RESTS WITH SIGNERS. “The primary election law prescribes the substance of ‘a petition of voters' and its effect to put before the voters at the primary the issue of Instructed or uniustructed delegates to the convention which shall nominate a candidate for president, vice president. United States senator or governor. The person named in such petition of voters seems to be without authority to withdraw it. But inasmuch as his consent appears to be essential to the filing in the first in stance, he might repudiate the petition, on the theory that involuntary servitude can not be imposed on anybody. The voters who signed the petition might themselves withdraw their signatures and reduce, th( reby, the number of names below that required to make the petition valid, but no other person can make these withdrawals for them. The law gives them the right to file them and that right which the law gives them can not lawfully be denied them by any Individual. “While such withdrawals of subscribers’ names do not appear to be provided for In the primary election law, never rheless that law is to be construed with other laws which allow a person to withdraw his name from a pet'tlon or to dismiss his suit before the same bas been jurisdietionally acted on by the officer or tribunal before whom the affected proceedings are to be had. PRIMARY ELECTION LAW MANDATORY. “The primary election law is mandatory to the effect that a United States senator shall be nominated at a state convention. There are certain state offl cers who can not be nominated at a state convention and if a candidate for one of these offices should, ‘not less than twentyfive (25) days before the date set for holding the primary.’ withdraw the ‘notice of candidacy’ filed by himself, then it would be the duty of the state committee to fill the vacancy, if no other candidate remained before the people “I may add In conclusion that I am cordially glad that at the primary we shall have a chance to instruct our delegates to the state convention that they shall vote for the Hon. Thomas Taggart for United States senator. “I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, “WILLIAM VELPEAU ROOKEK.’’
