High Court Rules County Attorneys Must Wait Till 1950 Election
The Utah Supreme Court in a unanimous decision by Justice George W. Latimer held that county attorneys need not be elected until November 1950. The ruling interprets a constitutional amendment shifting county attorney terms from two to four years, applying to incumbents whose terms had not begun. The case involved Marcellus K. Siow’s mandamus action seeking Alvin Keddington, Salt Lake County clerk, to file a candidacy declaration for the Democratic ticket. Incumbent Edward M. Morrisey, a Republican elected in 1940, would serve a four year term under the amendment, with elections in November 1950 and every four years thereafter. The decision notes the amendment changes the term length and the legislature’s role in applying it to current officeholders. The March 1947 legislative change to Section 19-13-86 set the November 1950 election and four year terms, with incumbents serving until their successors are elected.
