Secures Certificate of
Election in Opposi
tion to Swetland.
County Clerk Lot Q. Swetland's scheme
of forcing Frank a Fields, County Clerk
elect, to bring mandamus proceedings for
the possession of his election certificate,
has fallen flat, through the action Xt one
of Mr. Swetland's deputies.
Mr. Fields, y esterday, while the incum
bent clerk was absent,' secured his cer
tificate of election. ..
Mr, Swetland had given orders to some
of his deputies not to give the certificate
to Mr. Fields, if he should apply for it,
but Instead to refer the matter to' him
personally. . .. .
Mr. Fields, it now transpires, has two
certificates of election. One was handed
to a friend of his June 18.
. Frank Fields said today that he would
take charge of the Office when the time
came, and proceedings would have to be
brought against him if they desired to
contest the constitutionality of ' the act
of the Legislature, consolidating the of
fices of the Clerk of the County Court;
clerk pf the Circuit Court and Recorder
of Conveyances,-of Multnomah County.
Mr. Swetland say he has no desire to
keep the offlclabelect from - entering on
his duties; aa he 'doesn't want the office
himself, but it is simply a Question of
law. . , - ', -.
In n Interview Mr. Fields today said
that Clerk Swetland had no right to ret
fuse the certificate of election. That he
wis purely an administrative and' not a
judicial officer.
