Held by Executive to Dis- qualify Them The offices of J. I. Cahill as member wf the state board of administration | and John Bloom as fish and game com-/| missioner have been declared vacant by Governor R. A. Nestos. The Weclaration is based upon the alleged failure of either Cahill or loom to qualify for the offices in the manner provided by law, in filing their oaths of office, and by this failure they are held to automatically have disqualified ‘themselves from holding the positions. Governor Nestos has appointed El- mer T. Judd of Cando to succeed. Mr. Bloom as fish and game commission- er. He has not appointed a succes- sor to Mr. Cahill. Since both Cahill and Blpom held office on reappoint- ments they held over, under the law, until successors were named and qualified. It is reported that one or two other Nonpartisan office holders have dis- qualified themselves from office by failure to qualify as provided by law and their offices will be declared. va- cant and successors appointed. Mr., Cahill said this morning he didj not care to make a statement at this time, but might later. in the day. He said he had not had time to look into the matter. The discovery of the failure of Ca- hill to qualify for office came, it is understood, when a check-up of rec- ords was being made preparatory to filing formal ouster charges against him. Sometime ago Governor Nestos domanded Cahill’s resignation and no- tified him ouster charges: would be brought for, alleged deficiencies.in the conduct of His office. Makes Two Removed ‘With the automatic removal of Ca- hill and the resignation of George Tiot- ten, effective April 30, R. T. Muir will be the only Nonpartisan appointee left on the board of administration, which manages the various state in- stitutions. Mr. Cahill was first appointed by} Governor Frazier to fill out an un- expired term of P. M. Casey. He was reappointed last July for a six year, term, ending in 1926. Mx, Cahill quali- fied for his first appointment but fail- | ed to qualify for his second, it is al- leged. ‘Elmer Judd, who succeeds Mr. ; Bloom, is, according tm the governor, ; a thorough sportsman, deeply inter- ested in native game and fish and has | published a book upon the subject. He will, the governor said, take a keen, | intelligent interest in the fish and game commission. Law in Matter The law, understood to be relied on | in the Cahill‘and Bloom cases, fol- lows: ‘Section 683 of the compiled laws of | 1913, entitled “Vacancies, How Caus- ed,” says that “every office shall be- come vacant on the happening of either of the following events,” and | under the 6th event is listed “His fail- ure to qualify as provided by law.” Section 661 provides that “each| civil officer in this state before en-| tering ‘upon the duties of his office} shall take and subscribe the oath pre- scribed in section 211 of the constitu- | tion. Such oath shall be endorsed ‘upon the back of or attached to his| ‘bond in case of an officer required to/| give bond or endorsed upon the back or attached to the commission, ap- pointment or certificate of election, in case of an officer required to give bond.” Section 662 provides that “the bonds of all state and district officers shall | be given to the state, shall be appnov- ed by the governor as to sufficiency, and by the Attorney-General as to} _ PROCLAMATION / JEWISH RELIEF FUND WEEK. | | WHEREAS, the death toll of war does not end when the guns are silenced, and the smoke of battle cleared away, but in war’s wake death stalks, threatening the destruction of millions of human beings.
