The Supreme Court, In majority opinion, held that T. J. Clee ton Is not a Circuit Judge, but the County Judge of Multnomah county, that virtually all business transacted in his court as Circuit Judge is valid, and that Rufus C. Holman has a clear title to the office of County Commis sioner. The opinion was In the case of the state on information of Walter H. Evans, District Attorney, againet Mr. Holman. No ruling was made by the coirt upon the status of Department No. 8 of the Circuit Court, of which Judge Cleeton has been the presiding judge. It Is evident, however, that until after the election there will be no judge of the department, and It may be that C. U. Gantenbein, Republican nominee, and John Van Zante, Democratic nom inee for the judgeship, are seeking an office which does not exist. It is be lieved that the one who gets a ma jority of the votes will proceed through mandamus to compel the Secretary of State to issue a certificate of election. The question will then be placed squarely before the Supreme Court. It was further held that the term of Judge Cleeton as County Judge was for six years, having been elected to that office at the time when the amendment making the term six years was passed.
