All the attorneys who appeared In the esse yesterday were present Hgaln today. on ottenlng, Judge O. W. Powers occupied the attention of the court for a few moments, presenting several additional authorities In support of his argument of yesterday. Judge W. L Maginnls closed the argument for the contestee. He aM the principal question was Whether the court had Jurisdiction in the proceeding or not. The matter resolved Itself Into two propositions: first, did the court ever have Jurisdiction; second. if It did have Jurisdiction has It lost It. Continuing along that line of argument he heid that If the construction placed on the statute by the contestant'! attorney was correct then the statute was unconstitutional. But he argued that the statute did not have the application that they gave to It, hut that It only applied to comity officers and not to state or district officers. If the contestants proved that all the e vote that they alleged were Illegal, Judge Rolapp would not be elected because these votes would not affect the result; and If the contestee had procured hie election by fraud, that whs not the proper proceeding to take to remove him. Counsel then cited the various stutute from the old territorial days up to the present time, arriving at the conclusion that under the present statute Hamer had nn right to hrlng the contest and the court had no Jurisdiction to hear it. Judge Maginnls further contended tiiHl at the time Judge Rolapp designated his honor to hold court, hi term was ending and he undertook to stretch his arm beyond the tsiunds where he hml any authority to aid. He held that Judge Rolapp act In setting the case whs not similar to a setting of the calendar, Ha his counsel contended, but it was s Judicial act and he argued that the order was void for want of power in the Judge to make It. Dealing with the request of Governor Welis to Judge Morse to hear the case, counsel h'Md that It conferred no Hut' rily on the court. The fact that the fourth of Jucte Morse came January Instead of the tenth, the day he was requested by Judge Rolapp to come, and admitting (hnt the latter's order was valid. Judge MagiiinU argued that the order made by Judge Morse on that day was null and void. He argued at length on the point that the statute provides that a contest case cannot be continued for more than twenty days and In thla Instance the hearing was continued from January 10th to February 6th. Jtidge Maginnls concluded his argument at 11:20 a. m. Judge Morse then announced his decision denying the contestee's motion and overruling the objections, in doing so he sHld he was of the opinion with regard to the powers and duties of the presiding Judge at the time the contest statement was filed that It Immediately became the duty of the Judge to comply with the statute fixing the time so that a citation may lasue. He thought it became Judge Rolapp's duty to at once fixe the time in order that a citation might Issue to the contestee a duty that the law Imposed upon him. As. however. Judge RnlHpp was an Interested party his powers at that time ceased with the exception that he should at once take some steps to procure another Judge to hear all the other proceedings relative to the rase, and he whs of the opinion that that was nil Judge Rolapp had done. He believed the powers of the Judge requested to act begun at the time he was so requested, and that from that time nn he held the same powers with reference to that particular proceeding as the Judge of the district would have If he were not disqualified. Coming to the conalderatlon of the action of the Judge on January 4th in relation to the case, he viewed that the same aa he would view such action by the Judge of this district If he were not disqualified. After reciting when the terms of court begin and close ln each county in this district, he aald the question of the power of the court to open the court at any other time than during the time fixed had not been presented to him in the argument, but his opinion was that the court could be opened for the trannctlon of business. If there was no other objection than merely the fact that the time fixed by the order forty-thre- (Continued on page 5.) |
