Jefferson City, March 2 —The su- preme court, in an opinion in the case of thirteen ousted members of the Democratic committeee of St. Louts clty, awarded a writ of man- damus compelling the committee to reinstated the unseated members. The committee adopted a rule to expel members who were absent from three meetings without-excuse, Aga result thirteen were ousted. They brought the case to the supreme court with the result that a ruling is made which held that no political committee can make rules to deprive any member of his seat to which he was elected by the people. To do that, the court finds, would be to thwart the will of the voters Subject for . a Carnegie Medal.
