NAME IN VOTE Mandamus Action to be Start- ed to Keep Senator in Presidential Primary McADOO’S” NAME FILED Three Candidates for Presi- dential Preference Are Now in State Race Attorneys representing Hiram Johnson campaign forces appeal- ¢d to the Supreme Court late to- day to prevent the name of Rob- ert M, LaFollette from going on the presidential ballot of March 18. “NAME ORDERED ON Judge F. T. Lembke, in Man- dan this afternoon, granted a peremptory writ of mandamus against Secretary of State Thom- as Hall‘ restraining the latter from refusing to certify the name of Robert M. LaFollette ag " a candidate for president in the North Dakota presidential pri- mary of, March 18. No opponent to the order asked by R. A. Kin- zer appeared and no time was set for hearing. Joseph Coghlin, attorney who represented'Kinzer, faid the le- gal ground on which the writ was asked was that the statute gives petitioners the right to place men on the ballot for whom they wish to express their pre- ference, and that since LaFol- lette filed nothing there was nething for him to withdraw. R. A. Kinzer, LaFollette ‘or- ganization head said: “We are going right down the line and fight this out.” The time for closing of filings for places ‘on the . presidential . primary ballot of March 18 neared today with the atmosphere cleared except as to the name of Robert M. LaFoHette, Whether or not his name will be withdrawn from the primary remsin- ed a question at noon today. The candidates for president cer- vain to go on the ballot for the presi- dential preference are: Calvin Cool- idge and, Hiram Johnson, Repub! cans; William G. McAdoo, Democra Secretary of State Hall, who re- turned to the city at 8 o'clock this morning, safd at 11:30 o’clock that the matter of LaFollette’s withdrawal was still in abeyance. “Mr. Duffy (Hall's deputy) ‘saw At- torney-General Shafer and he be- lieves that inasmuch as LaFollette asked that his name be withdrawn, it should be, holding that no man can he forced into a candidacy against his will, We will try to act in a rea- sonable manner in this office.” Attorney-General Shafer said he had given no qpinion jp When matter, not having been formally requested ter one, but that his. view was that LaFollette could withdraw. To Start Action At the same time Joseph Coghlan, local attorney, said that an. applica- tion would'be made ‘yet today for a writ of mandamus against the Secre- tary of State demanding that he leave LaFollette’s name on the bal- lot, based on an understanding that the Secretary of State would with- draw vhe name unless restrained. Thes tion, ixe said, would be made by R- A. Kinzer, head*of the LaFollette or- ganization, and would be on_ the ground that presidential candidates have no discietion in the matter since they are not required to give assent to their candidacy. Where the application will be made he Was uncertain. He said there was no district judge in the city. Clerk of Court C. J. Fisher said he under- stood Judge Jansonius was at Car- ‘ington and Judge Coffey, also of the fourth judicial district, was aty Jamestown. / Election Laws Go On The proposals to go on’ the ballot, according to Deputy SecRetary of| State Duffy, included: The three so- calfed “nonparty” election laws and! the bank tax validating act of the) last legislature, four Republican can- didates for national committeemen— | E, A.
