Writs Sought to Force Ballot Printing in Montana
The Montana Supreme Court issued alternative writs returnable next Monday in two cases to compel county clerks to print nominees in the correct party column. T. J. Walsh seeks mandamus in Granite county to place Democratic nominees in the regular column, not the Bryan slate. J. K. B. Clayberg petitions in Meagher county for Powell Hlack and others to print their candidates in the Democratic column, not the opposing ticket. The court also modified a prior Ravalli writ to require Crutchfield nominees in the Democratic column. Additionally the court granted a mandamus to Northern Pacific Railroad to require Judge Loud to hear contempt proceedings against Kempton for water-use injunction violations near Terry, with Justice Ward affirming chambers authority and that mandamus is proper.
