more than five years List past a bona ftdr I tf Salt Lake City in I Salt Lake County In Utah Tern I tory in precinct number S of said city cityThat That in December he was duly registered and is a legally qualified I voter aud entitled to vote at I municipal elections in Salt Lake City That on Jan 2S Mr Preston received a notice from J R Morris of the challenge based on the grounds that he is a polygamist and a nonresident of the city Mr Preston states that he charges are absolutely untrue and false and that he was not at the time he registered regis-tered a polygamiat and that ho waS anti i a bona tide resident of Salt Lake Jr The afllant further says thai the registrar has jurisdiction to hear aud determine said complaint and is acting without authority of law and further that he intends t de price the affiant of his right to ote Having no othcradequate remedy at law the affiant asks that the reg istrarbe commanded by the court to refrain from further proceedings in the tbtCe The arguments were mace by Lo Grand Young for the affiant and P L Williams and W I Dickson for the registrar The position Mr Young took was Tepton that the registrars were not judicial oflicers in the capacity of registrars i and could not act in that oflice and also the office of justice of the peace aut which officer the law niyeehall hear and determine chen also that the registrars arc not supreme in i ts JI their actions sh are sulifcct to the direction of the courts The position of Messrs VI lams and Dickson was that the registrars acted both in a ministerial and ju Ulciil capacity anti the Utah Commission I Com-mission could properly authorize them to r act that they could add names t or strike names from the I i registry Ibt am that there was no appeal from their action that they < ouIJ strike any number of lame from the list up t the day of election and the voter had no redress re-dress As Mr Dickson declared There is no appeal from their action at leatt app after
