an important decision
(Anchorage Times)
Judge E. E. Ritchie has delivered a
decision, and, as he always does, this
just judgment decided without fear
or in favor. In deciding the important
case of illegal voting in Anchorage,
Judge Ritchie has given an opinion
that will be written on the tablets of
Alaska laws and should reach even to
the confines of Indian reservations.
In any event Judge Ritchie’s decision
will unqestionably cause the Alaska
lawmaker to pause and consider. This
particular case refers to municipal el
ections.
Judge Ritchie says:
“There is now law in Alaska
making it an offense to vote illeg
ally in a municipal election. The
Alaska code adopted by congress
in 1900 is silent on the subject. It
prescribes qualifications of a vot
er, but fixes no penalty for illegal
voting. The law governing muni
cipal corporations was amended
in several respects by the legis
lature of 1923, but still no penalty
for illegal voting was prescribed.
“The only law on the subject
is section 27 of the direct primary
law enacted by the legislature in
1917. It makes illegal voting at
any election a crime. The court
held this provision ineffective as
to municipal voting because it
is buried in the law for primary
elections. The organic act says
the legislature can pass a low on
only one subject at a time, which
must be expressed in title. The
title of this law of 1917 is an act
providing for Primary Elections.’”
The action of Judge Ritchie in sus
taining the defendant’s demurrer in
the case of the United States vs. Ar
thur Lehreux on the grounds that the
indictment did not state suffi/ient
grounds to constitute a crime is of the
very first importance.
By his action, Judge Ritchie virtual
ly states that there is no municipal el
ection law in Alaska which a votei
is bound to respect; and the action
of the district attorney’s office in dis
missing all of the other cases against
persons charged with illegal voting in
Alaska at the recent municipal elec
tion is conclusive prooff that the gov
ernment fully agrees with Judge Rit
chie’s opinion. Attorney J. S. Truitt,
counsel for Lehreux, made a very able
argument and presented an exhaustive
brief in support of his contention,
which justly won its point.
It is now up to the incoming law
makers of Alaska to enact a law at the
next session o fthe legislature, which
will cover municipal elections. This
question is equally as important a.-'
the literacy bill which will also be
a bone of contention.
In the meantime it is suggested that
Asehorage voters study the different
candidates for legislative honors and
demand an expression on these im
portant questions.
