YESTING THE MICHICAN LAW | Oommencement of the Oass Before the United States Supreme Court, ENTS OF THE ATTORNEYS | OPENING ARG Law by Mr. tor— Points liaised Agalnst the DufMold ana Attorney General M Contentis of the Other Side— Avother Important Case. Wasuryeros, D. C, Oct. 11.--Arguments In the case (o test the constitutiomality of the Michigan low providing for the choice of presidential clectors by congressional dis- triots, which came up on appeal from the Michigan supreme court, were begun in the Uuited States suprems court today. W'he political aspect of the case is very pro- pourced, as it is admitted that if the law is sustained it will give part of Michigan's electoral vote tothe democrats, Attorney General Miller appeared as one of the counsel of the republican side, The attorney general aid not appear in his ofcial capacity, but as a private counsellor He took part in the argument. It is ver unusual in this country for the attorney gen- eral to participate in private cases and his sppearance today was & subjoct of talk among lawyers. Attorneys to the Case. The attorueys who took part 1n the argu- ent today are: Attorney General Ellis, udge Chaplin, formerly of tho supreme court of Michigan, and Otto Kirschner, formerly stato attorney general, in tavor of the constitutionality of the law, and on the other side H. M. Duffield and Attorney General Miller and IFrederick A. Baker, a leading dewocratic lawyer of Michigan, who 18 rotained on tho republican side of the case, In bis argument, Mr. Duffleld relied prin- eipally upon the contention that the Miner mot was in violation of the tourteenth amend- ment to tho constitution, declaring that no state shall make or enforce any law abridg- ing the privileges of citizens of the United States, and as at the time of its passage citi- xzens could vote for all electors, that system could nou bo changed, This amendment and the fourteenih or fifteenth amendments, he insisted, created a citizenship of the United States, aua that it was n violation of the constitution to deny each citizen the right to wote for ull of the presidential electors to which the state is entitled. Justice Gray inquired if he held lerislatore could Mr. Dufilel that the 00se the electors itself. replied in the afirmative The threo post-war amendaments, he msserted, put into the constitution a guar- antee to cvery citizen to be treated alike, and made & national citizenship where there had heretofore been a citizenship only vy virtue of citizenship in a state. eir First Polnt, Messts. Champlin and Kirschner, as thelr first point, raised the Guestion of jurisdiction, maintaiuing that in the form 1 which the case came bere, viz: An application for a writ of mandamus to compel the secretary of state of Michigan to give & certain notice of the coming election, it was not reviewable a federal court, but only in a state court. r. Duffield’s points were answered with yoferonce to the fifteenth amendment. It was contended that its sole object was to prevent discrimination and had no applica- tion to cascs where all citizens were treated alike. Mr. Kirschuer mado a strong point of the political nature of the case and cited prece- dents to show that the court had ruled that political questions must be left for settle- ment to tue political departments of the go erament, and in this part of his talk he sev- eral times turned, apparent toward Attorney General ) Several times the courts had made the mistake of passing upon purely political controversies, and inevery iustance the result was a fall of the bench in the public estimation. tie was proceeding to argue that the mat- ter of presidential electors was one over which the state legislatures as the political fepresentatives of the states had complete eontrol when Justice Field, interrupting, msked: “Could the state legislature dele- gate 1o Aun Arbor college the right to ap- point theso clecturs i’ Mr. Kirscaner (with some hesitation)—I don’t see why not. To this the justice replied rather ourtly: I dont seo why not either, from your line of argument.”’ Mr, Kirschuer, proceeding, said the policy of chaugiug the method of seiecting presi- dential electors might be questioned, but he had never heard the legality of any change questioned. Justice Harlan—Could the legislature suthorize cne congressional district to select the electors for the whole state! Mr. Kirschoer—Yes, your homor. To which attorney general added, “‘But there is no danger of 1t."” Mr. Kirschuer, 1n bis argument, deplored the tendency to bring all disputes ' into court and swid this was an attempt to embroil the court in s political matier which belonged solely to tue political department of the governmeut. Attorney ¢ ning, Attorney General Miller inhis opening soswered as [ollows: 1 hold it to be one of the most hopeful signs of the times that the courts are either arousing or being aroused to the fact that if the rights of the people of the United States are to be preserved they must be preserved by an observance and euforcement of the 1aw, and that they are prepared to take and aro taking by the wrists political bosses who, sssuming thut questions are purely political, are committing grand larceuy with reference to the richts of the peoyle of the United States. Ip sayiug this I am not saying it as ® partisan. [ am perfectly well aware that people have been robbed by uujustappor- uonments by the party to which I belong as woll as by tho party to which I am opposed, wnd it is high time the courts should sy to these worthies it 1s just as much laroeny to steal a political right as it is to steal private property. Honce 1 say 1if this case comes ere in such o way thai the court may prop- erly take hold of it it is not ouly a right, but 1t seems 10 me the highest opportunity of the court to serve the country and belp to pre- serve its institutior Mr. Miller argued that tho framers of the constitution iutended that the siate should be represented as states, and that the power of ohoosing electors was granted, not to the legislatures but to tho states, legislatures siiply baving the duty of fixing the menner of exécution of the power. Justice Gray—~Was the district system, while in operation, ever challenzed as being beyond the pow f the legistature! Mr. Milier—My understaading is that it was not and there has never been an election in which the decision would have been de- terminative of the election, Mr. Dufiicld interjected that that was a time wheu electors were free to exercise their personal preferences, Justice Gray—Does it appear that the toeory bas been ohanged by the consti- tution.

He was reading some opinioas of repubii- can members of the electoral commission an this matter when Justice Field asked to have the wotbority given. It was doue and the ustice replied: “Most people tbiok the least said about that the better,” Mr. Buker closed the case. His line of argument was that the constitution contem- plated @ system of selecling a president by personal preferences of electors, but that the coustitutional desigu was incapable of execution and that by usage, had been estab- Lished the election of elcctors aud of presi- dent by voles of whole states, aud that by the fourteentt amendment this change of eondition was recoguized aud a natiopsl @itizenship established.

The war at this end of the line is brought on by the commencement of a suit in which Milo Burke is the plainuff and H. B, Ijams, W. C. Irvine and C. L. Talbott are the de fendants, The plaintift alleges that he arrived In South Omana vestorday with a trainload of cattle from the rauges of Johnson county, Wyoming; that immediately upon his arrival he was met by these defendants, who ac cused bim of stealing the cattle, that they claimed them and at once took them from him without due process of law. Ho also alleges thot he is uot a cattie thief, nor does he deal in stolen cattle. In several pages ho recites the recent trcubles with the “rustlers” and euds his petition by alleging that it isthe custom of large dealers like the de- fendants, to conspire against the small stock- owners to defraud them of their rights; that it is one of the pians which they have adopted; thint they declare these small owners robbers and without any proof take their cattle from them wherever found; when shipments are made these cattle kings follow the small dealers to market and rob them of their be longings.
