G. McFarland is the legally act- ing judge of the fourth judicial dis- trict, the supreme court decided to- day. McFarland’s right to the office was contested by J. A.

Coffey charged that Mc- Farland violated the corrupt prac- tices act and refused to vacate the eee Both men live at Jamestown. e supreme court order issued to- day requires Coffey to “vacate and surrender the possession of the office and charge of district court judge as established by law,” and restrains him “from in any manner exercising the function and authority of the of- fice of district judge and from rep- resenting himself to be in any man- ner authorized to act as judge. pend- ing a determination of any existing controversy respecting the validity of the election and the right of the suc- cessful candidate to hold the office.” Arguments were completed before the court late Tuesday afternoon. M. C. Freerks, counsel for Coffey, who argued two hours Tuesday morn- ing, took an additional half hour in the afternoon, « N. C. Bothne, New Rockford, and John W. Carr, Jamestown, presented the case for McFarland. They con- tended that McFarland was elected by the people and that he qualified for the office in accordance with law, hence is entitled to act. ‘McFarland’s attorneys said it would be just as reasonable for a defeated candidate for governor to file an ac- tion a few days before his successor was to take office and thereby debar him for assuming the duties of the governorship. A suggestion, offered from the bench, that it might be well to sus- til the case involving Coffey’s charges against his rival can be tried in court, was rejected by counsel for McFar-, land on the ground that it would be an injustice to their client. Both men have claimed the salary as judge and each has retained a court stenographer, whereas only one salary can be paid for each office. This fact caused Attorney General Jim Morris to ask the court to de- cide the matter as quickly as possible.
