Mandamus to Force Issue on
Committeemen Is Aim.
SECRETARY IS NOTIFIED
Democratic Convention Ruling 01
Term of Office Declared in Con
flict With Oregon Law.
SALEM, Or., April 16. (Special.)
Mandamus proceedings to compel the
secretary of state to pluce the name
of Newton McCoy, of Portland, on the
democratic primary ballot for national
committeeman, will be filed in the
supreme court within the next few
days as the result of the refusal of
( Sam A. Kozer, assistant secretary of
state, to receive his declaration of
candidacy here today.
In refusing to file Mr. McCoy's
declaration the secretary of state
acted In compliance with a legal
opinion of Attorney-General Brown,
in which it was held that under a
law passed in 1913 national commit
teemen in Oregon are elected every
four years and that the next election
of these officers will be held in 1922.
Mr. McCoy was accompanied to
Salem by Colonel Robert Miller, and
upon being advised of the atcorney
general's opinion, made formal tender
of his declaration to the seoreiary of
state. The declaration was refused.
Mandamus In Planned.
Mr. McCoy at that time informed
Mr Kozer that in tendering his1 decla
ration he desired to lay grounds for
mandamus proceedings which would
follow.
In a subsequent statement Mr. Mc
Coy decelared that at the democratic
national convention In St. Lous in
1916 a resolution was adopted which
provided that the term of committee
men should terminate at the adjourn
ment of the next following conven
tion. In the Oregon case, under this
ruling. Mr. McCoy said the term of
Dr. J. W. Morrow, who was seate'l as
Oregon committeeman over tie for
mer's protest, would terminate on
June 28, the last day of the democratic
national convention to be held in San
Francisco. Mr. McCoy also asserted
that under the ruling of the conven
tion the national committee was the
exclusive judge of the qualifications
of its members.
'. Court Action Is Afoot.
Mr. McCoy declared that while the
law passed in 1913 sets out that com
mitteemen shall be elected every four
years, in case of a vacancy it is
the spirit of the statute that the per
son appointed to fill out the term
should ter-e only until the following
election. It was also asserted by Mr.
McCoy that it is a fundamental right
of the people to select men to fill
public offices by ballot at the earliest
possible opportunity, which in the
case at issue would be at the primary
election on May 21.
Plans for filing the mandamus pro
ceedings were partly completed here
today and the formal papers in the
action may reach the supreme court
early Monday. Because the secretary
of state Is required to have the bal
lots in the hands of the printer o'J
days before election, the suit. If filed,
probably will be set ahead on the
supreme court calendar and receive
preference over cases of less impor
tance. The opinion of the attorney-general
followed by Mr. Kozer in refusing to
accept Mr. McCoy's declaration was
requested yesterday following the re
ceipt of a letter from J. D. Brown,
chairman of the democratic state
committee, in which he Inclosed the
declaration of Dr. Morrow for na
tional committeeman. The mandamus
proceedings threatened by Mr. McCoy
would determine the question raised
in the filing of Dr. Morrow as well.
ne ruling or me democratic na
tional convention regarding the length
of term of committeemen is In direct
conflict with the Oregon law passed
in vio, ana wnich was quoted as a
part of the opinion given by Mr.
crown.
