On Jau’y 14th, 1897. counsel for Mrs. Wheeler went to Attorney General Edward C. Crow, and had tbat cfficial sign and file in the Su preme Court an information for writ of quo warranto This was done to avoid the delay which would have resulted bad the case been instituted in the lower court and then appealed. To this information, counsel for Mr Hostetter made a double barrel- ed defense. First, they claimed that Mrs Wheeler's nomivation was not tiled in office of the Clerk of the County Court fifteen days before the election, as by the law required, aod for that reason her name was im properly upon the ballot, and further. that there being no vacancy iu the office fifteen days before the election, no election for that office could have been legally held on Nov. 3cd lust Secondly, they contended that a woman could not hold an office of that kind under the laws of Mis souri. The court held that the nomina tion could bave been legally mad-, that an election for cierk should bave been beld, and that a woman ean hold such an office in Missouri The opinion is by Chief Justice Bar clay, and concurred in by each mem ber of Division No 1, and is a thor ough and able review of the law upon the questions involved, oue of which are new questions in this are entitled to hold most any of our county offices, and they should tea der a vote of thanks to Mesers Wheeler, for having the question Ss the new tanff bill.” As the bill |forced into the small coduit.
