Election Code Basis for Lundins Ballot Claim
Prosecuting Attorney A. H. Lundin argues to County Auditor N M Wardall that Herman Nelson and John E Mullane should be listed on the democratic ballot for county commissioner. He cites the election code allowing a candidate nominated by two parties to designate the party title and contends Mullane's and Nelsons nominations support this. He cites cases and cites the Washington attorney general to support his reading of the code and discusses vacancy filling for Mullane and the Democratic committee's powers.
