Tyvro cases cf great interest, not only to the people of Sacramento but to office holdcrs and the public throughout the State, were up for argument before the Supreme Court this afternoon. When George H. Clark assumed the office of Mavor of Sacramento last January he found himselt defendant in two lawsuits, one having been brought by nis predeces- an would have no right to stance of his friends at | sor, William Land, in which he claimed the right to continue in the office of Mayor on the ground that Clark bad not filed his election expense account within the time prescribed by law. The other suit hed been Instituted by Willlam H. Bradley, a hackman, who alleged that ampaign_more than he was aliowed to | spend under the purity of elections law, ana that therefore his office sbould be de- Clared vacant. Both sults were flforuuuly fought in the Superior Court of Sacra- mento County and in both the judgments were in _Clark's favor. Appeals from these judgments were taken by Land and Bradley and_a dozen lawyers were on hand in the Supreme Court chamber this afternoon to _engage in the presentation of.the case from the standpoints of the appellants and the respondent. Clark’s_attorneys maintained, in the matter of the Land appeal, that the cer- tificate_of election given 'to Clark was prima facie evidence of his claim to the office and that the allegations made by Land's attorneys trat the candidate’s ex- pense account had not been filed prior to the issuance of the certificate of election and that it was not a proper account, did not stand in the presence of the facie ciaim embodied in the certificate. give Treutle half of what he found.

The attorney declared that these expenses were defrayed by Clark’s business part- ner; that they were far in excess of the sum allowed by law, and that they con- =tituted a bar to the retention of the of- fice of Mayor by Clark. He claimed in answer to questions by Justice McFar- land and Garoutte that only by a candi- date specifically denving that such meas- ures were taken without his knowledge or consent could be avoided the penalty of forfeiture of office. He declared, how- ever, that these expenses were incurred with’ Clark's knowledge and consent. gourt adjourned at a late hour until to- ‘morrow, when Hiram W.
