J. D. Price's Hame | O Ticket Twice Chairman W. J. Harris, of the state executive committee, will take steps to have the name of J. D. Price, democratic nominee for commissioner of agriculture, put on the ticket to be voted in the coming state election of October 2, both for the unexpired term of Commissisnershomas .G. Hud Hudson, - son, Hudson, and the full term of two years. Chairman Harris wrote to Sec Secre:ary - re:ary Secre:ary of State Philip Cook rela relative - tive relative to the matter, but Mr. Cook has nothing to do with the tickets. It is Secretary Cook's duty to get out the blanks for the consolida consolidated - ted consolidated returns for each county, and these will be forwarded Monday to the ordinaries over the State. It was too late, however, to put on the unexpired term; it appears there only for the full term. There will be no difficulty, how however, - ever, however, in inserting the result for the unexpired term. Qaerotary Cook and others are of the opinion that the governor's appointment to the position of commissioner of agriculture, as in the case of other statehouse officers, holds only until the elec election - tion election and qualification of a succes successor. - sor. successor. Under this view, the candi candidate - date candidate chosen for the unexpired term in the coming election would go into office as soon as he quali qualifies. - fies. qualifies. , Commissioner J. J. Connor, )Jvho was appointed by Governor Brown, contends that he holds until the meeting of the legisla legislature - ture legislature next July; and that Mr. Price cannot go into offce until the legislature canvasses the retruns and declares the result. There is a decided difference of opinion on the subject, and if a republican, socialist or candi candidate - date candidate of some other party should offer for the unexpired term, and there should be no democratic candidate to oppose him, it might turn out, under the law, that he would get the job for the remain remainder - der remainder of Mr. Hudson term. To guard against this, Chair Chairman - man Chairman Harris has decided to put the name of Mr. Price, asthe candidate of the democratic party on the -ticket for the unexpired term. He will, of course, be elected, and the questicn as to when he goes into office can be settled following the election. The election blanks for gover governor - nor governor are sent out separately from those for other statehouse offices, us the returns in thiselection are made to the president of the sen senate - ate senate and the speaker of the house
