1968. EDE FILL TICKET Washington Voters Allowed to Nominate by Stickers on Ballot. THREE PLACES ARE VACANT Atrnrnev-General Denies Right of State Central Committee to Name Candidates Cntil After the Primaries. OLTMPLA. Wash.. Aug. 23. (Special.) One vote may be sufficient to nominate candidates on the Democratic ticket for Stat Treasurer, State Auditor and At torney-General. When the time for filing declarations of candidacy expired on August 8 there were no aspirants for these places. Bince then the Democratic state central committee has been, claiming the right to fill the vacancies, but according to the Attorney-General the right of the committee to fill vacancies will exist omj !n the event the places are vacant after the primaries have been held. The law. according to previous opinions given by the Attorney-General, permits the voting for candidates in the prr martes by stickers. If but one Demo crat votes by sticker for men for the vacant places on the primary ballot s-jch men would be the nominees of the party at tha reneral election In .Novemofr. The same rule applies to Democratic countv committees which desire to mi the many vacancies In the county tickets throughout the state. in nis opinion given at the request of J. E. Cochran. Prosecuting Attorney of Clallam Coun ty, the Attorney-General says: "I am of the opinion that if no per son received a single vote for some po litical cffire rpon the official ballots of one of the political partler. then and in that cas the party managing com mittee would have the right to fill the existing vacancy. The Instance, how ever, where some qualified elector will not be nominated for every political of fice by each and every party casting 10 per cent or more of the total votes will probably be exceedingly rare." Judiciary Ticket Fatherless. The method of carrying out the non partisan Judiciary feature of the pri mary election law is still an open one. th Attorney-General not having passed on it. The matter Is under discussion among numerous well-known constitu tional lawyers and opinions are divided as to what to do with the ticket after it Is nominated in the September pri maries. The law makes no provision for the manner of placing the ticket on the of ficial ballot In November and provides that only those candidates who receive the highest number of votes In the pri maries and who equal in number the places to be filled shall have their name printed thpreon. The view has been expressed to the Attorney-General by one or more law yers who have been studying the ques tion that the primary law effectually prohibits the nominating by minority ' parties in convention of candidates for the Supreme or Superior Courts. This in effect disfranchises Prohi bitionists and Socialists in the election of the Judiciary, as the limiting of the number of candidates In the general election to the number of places to be filled makes the primary election In ef fect an actual election to office. In theory, however, primary election Is not final, as the voters have the right to vote for other candidates than those on the ballot, by the sticker method, and on this theory Is based the conten tion that the Prohibitionists and So cialists are not disfranchised as to the Judicial offices. It is claimed that the right to partici pate in the selection of candidates for office is not a constitutional one, al though the constitution guarantees the qualified elector the right to participate In a general election. Some lawyers go even so far as to maintain that the Legislature could pass a constitutional law that would prevent the nomination of candidates for office by one party and grant It to another party, thus compelling the members of the party prohibited from nominating to vote wholly by stickers for its can didates. Holds Fee Necessary. The Attorney-General has refused to hold that the filing fee for declarations of candidacy need not be paid in spite of the fact that one of the. Judges of the Superior Court has held that that portion of the law Is unconstitutional. "I am of the opinion," he says, "that until the Supreme Court of this state shall hold that the provisions of our direct primary election law which direct the payment of a filing fee. to be uncpn stltutlonal It Is the duty of each County Auditor who has not been directed by a writ of mandate of the Superior Court, otherwise to require the payment of the fees as provided in the direct primary law." All fees for filings have been paid In all counties except Whatcom, where the Socialists have tested the matter In the Superior Court and secured a writ re quiring the Auditor not to .exact the fees specified In the act. Any rulings hereafter will apply only to candidates of minority parties nominated by the convention method. Such con ventions must be held on the day of the primaries and the candidates nom inated are required by the law to pay the same fees as those of the parties who select candidates by the election method.

LOSS AMOUNTS TO $16,000 Piano House, Gun Store and Bar ber Shop Among Structures Wiped Out Origin of Blaze Is Not Known. ALBANY. Or., Aug. 23. (Special.) Fire early this morning destroyed four frame buildings In the center of Al bany's business district, causing a loss of $16,150, with I88J0 Insurance. Brick walls on each side of the burned area prevented a spread of the flames. The following are the principal losers: Branch store of Eilers' Piano House of Portland, loss placed at $8000; In surance $5000. Arcade barber shop. Bruce & Huston, proprietors; loss $1200; insurance $600. The buildings containing the piano store and barber shop were both owned by Mrs. S. Brenner, whose loss is $1200; Insurance $900. Office of Linn & Benton Real Estate Company; portion of office furniture burned; loss $200; no insurance. Build ing owned by Dr. A. Stark; loss $500. fully covered by Insurance. Stetter s Cash Store used a room in the rear of this building as a warehouse, and lost $200. with no insurance. Gun and bicycle store of A. Schmidt; loss on sto, K ana toon in om--p insurance $500. Building owned by Frank G. Will; loss $400; fully in sured. . . In addition to the buildings burned, losses were suffered as follows: Odd fellows' Tempie. loss $200, fully cov ered; drugstore of Burkhart & Lee, In nririfoliowa' building, damage by water I $250, fully insured; brick building on east of fire owned by w. J. iweeume, damaged $100. covered by Insurance: plate-gla3s windows broken Ln post office and two stores across First street from fire, loss $400, fully in sured. The fire was discovered about 2:30 o'clock ln the rear portion of Ellers piano -house, having started from some cause yet unknown. The city fire alarm system failed to respond to repeated attempts to turn ln an alarm, and a few men who were on the streets and oth ers attracted by shots fired by night policemen who saw the flames brought out one of the fire engines, and fought the flames until Janitor Bilyeu was summoned at the Courthouse and as cending the tower, set off the general alarm. The fire had then spread to the four wooden buildlnge, the Oddfellows' TemDle being threatened for a time, but the firemen saved the buildings. The Diano store contained 25 instru ments, and because of the fact that the fire started in that building and gained a hiar headway, all were destroyed Desks containing all of the records and tinners, of the Linn & Benton Real .s tate Company were saved. Part of the barber shop furniture and some of the stock of the gunstore were carried to eafety. Exploding ammunition in the gunstore made the saving of property dangerous. Brick buildings will probably replace the structures which were destroyed. SAYS SHE'S LORD'S CHOSEN AND ST. LOUIS WOMAN THINKS WORLD'S END IS NEAR.
