September Term, 1837
On June it, ItC, a certificate of nomi
nation was tiled in the Commissioners
office of Somerset county, signed by Har
vey M. Berkley as presiding otiicer and
Jaoob W. Peek and G. K Countryman as
secretaries, setting forth that "at a meet
ing of Committeemen or Return Judges
of the County of Somerset, representing
the Republican party or policy of the
State of Pennsylvania, and being the body
duly authorized by the Republican party
or policy of the Couuty of Somerset to
certify nominations for the offices named
below, held at the Court House in Somer
set Borough on the Hh day of June,
17, MauiLsses Shoemaker was nomi
nated for Director of the Poor, and Eph
ralm Coleman for Jury Commissioner.
on July 10, lXb", a certificate of nomina
tion was tiled in the Commissioners of
tice. Retting torth that "at a meeting of
Return Judges of the County of Somerset,
representing the Republican party or
policy of the State of Pennsylvania aud
being the body duly authorized by tbe
Republican party or policy of the County
of Somerset to certify nominations for the
offices named below, held at the court
room in the Court House in the Borough
of Soinrrset on the 2ih ujy -f Jjne,
1sj7," John H. Shalfer was nominated for
Jury Commissioner, and Adam S. Miller
for Director of the Poor. This certificate
was signed by A. O. Ileal as presidiug of
fn?er, and by E. C. Welch, P. K. Moore,
J. A. Lambert and J. G. Emert as secre
taries. Objections were filed 10 the first certifi
cate on the Ulh July, Ii7, by Adam S.
Miller and John II. Shaffer, and to the
sucond certificate ou the &Jth of July,
1SU7, by Manasses Shoemaker and Eph
raiin Coleman, and the issue, therefore.
is between the candidates named in the
respective certificates; if the objections to
either certificate prevail, the candidates
named therein can not have their names
printed on the otlicial ballot. If the ob
jections to both certificates prevail there
will be no regularly nominated candi
date for Director of the Poor and Jury
Commissioner at the coming election.
In order to properly determine the is
sue, we must look for tbe law of the case
to the "rules and regulations governing
the Republican primary elections of Som
erset County." The Act of June 21st, P.
1 70, regulating primary elections, the
ballot law of ls!U and the Act of June 22,
lst7, all recognize tbe binding effect of
party rules aud accord to them tbe force
of laws, and they have always been en
forced by the courts as the law of the par
ty adopting them. Tbe rules and regula
tions governing the primary elections iu
Somerset County have been in force for a
number of years, and we quote such por
tions as apply to this case. Rule 13 pro
vides that, "the duty of toe Chairman
shall be to preside at meetings or conven
tions of the County Committee, and pre
side at meetings or conventions of Re
turn Judges as president and with the ap
proval of tbe executive committee shall
nppoint members of the Republican par
ty as Committeemen to fill vacancies, re
move Committeemen for inefficiency or
disloyalty to the Republican party, se
cure the printing and distribution of tick
ets and election blanks, make assess
ments on candidates for nominations to
defray expenses for announcing candi
dates for office, pay expenses of conven
tion of return judges," etc.
PARTS' RULES INTF.RrRLTF.n.
Rjle 20 provides that " each candidate
l r nomination shall furnish to tbe Chair
man of the County Committee not less
than an days before the day of primary
election, bis name, the office for which be
is a candidate, the township or borough
in which ho resides, with his post otfice
address, and pay a fee of "(then follows
tbe amount to be paid by the candidate
for the different offices, ranging from
f b) for President Judge to f 10 for Direct
cf the Poor aud Jury Commissioner)
" to lie used exclusively as a fund to de
fray the expenses cf announcing candi
dates, in such Republican newspapers
cf the couuty as shall be designated by
the Chairman, printing tickets and elec
tion blanks and such other necessary ex
penses for holding and conducting the
primary elections. The Chairman of the
County Committee shall be custodian of
the funds arising from said fees
The Chairman of the Couuty Committee
ehall cause to be printed separate lists of
all tbe candidates for each office, with the
oilii-e designated at the bead of each list,
and furnish tbe Committeeman of each
district with at least two copies thereof
for each voter who voted the Republican
ticket at the preceding November elec
tion. These lists may be used by tbe
voters as tickets by stricking out or eras
ing any name they do not wish nomi
nated." Among tbe duties of the Committee
men as set forth in rule IS. is " to procure
the lists of candidates furnished by tbe
Chairman of the Couuty Committee."
Rule 10 provides, "that tbe Republi
can party of Somerset county shall bold
its primary election for nomination of
candidates on tbe fourth Saturday of
June cf each year;' and rule I'i provides
that " the Judges of Election of tbe sev
eral precincts shall assemble in conven
tion in the Court House, in the borough
of Somerset, on the Tuesday following
the election at one o'clock p. m. of said
d y. at which convention the Chairman
of the Couuty Committee shall preside,"
Ac And rule 11 provides that, "one re
turn sheet of the primary election shall
be sealed in an envelope, addressed to
tbe Chairman of the Couuty Committee,
.Somerset, Pa., and shall be mailed by tbe
Inspector or Clerk as soon as possible af
ter tbe rotes are counted."
It appears from the certificates filed
that two meetings of Return Judges or
Committeemen were held at the time and
plane deignsted by rule bi, to-wit : The
Tuesday following tbe 4th Saturday of
June, 'in the Court House in the bor
ough of Somerset," and it appears in tbe
proof before us that Harrey M. Berkley
was the regularly elected Chairman of
the County Committee, and acting as
Hlicn ai llio limo lane lurr-iniir no
held, the ecu ficA-e sigi.ed by 1.1 u a - pre
siding officer is therefore pnni 1 . ibe
eeilificate ot Hie regular incetiuti or cou
ventiou of Return Judges as distinguish
ed from the one signed by another per
son uot claiming to be tbe Chairman.
The objections filed to this certificate,
however, allege that tbe meeting of Re
turn Judges over which Harvey M.
Berkley presided was illegal and in vio
lation of the rule, as no primaries bail
bee 11 bebl at w hich .Shoemaker and Cole
mau were voted for, no leturns of any
primary election made to said meeting,
and that said meeting had 110 authority to
nominate cauilidatra or to certify candi
dates excepting from the returns of a
primary election. On behalf of the can
didates whose names appear iu the certi
ficate as filed, however, it was claimed in
the objections filed thereto, and
on tbe argument before us, that
they were the only ones who
had complied with the requirements of
tbe party rules, and were the only ones
entitled to be voted for at tbe primary
election, being tbe only candidates an
nounced by tbe Chairman in pursuance
of rule 20, that there beiug only one can
didate regularly before the people foi
each office to be filled, it was unnecessary
to hold a primary election, and that the
convention was warranted under the cus
toms of the party, as well as under the
Act of June 22 1, 17, in certifying Shoe
maker and Coleman as the regularly
nominated candidates, even though no
primaries had lieen held. Candidates
Miller and Shaffer reply to this that
the Chairman of the County Committee
wrongfully and improperly refused to
announce their names as candidate , al
though they requested him to do so and
paid him the fee required by rule 20, aud
that they were voted for at the primaries
held on the date fixed by the rules and
were returned to a convention of Return
Judges as nominated.
The convention presided over by Har
vey M. Berkley consisted of a number ol
the Committeemen who were regularly
elected the preceling year, some persons
holding proxies as such Committeemen,
and others who were appointed in the
place of Committeemen removed by the
Chairman under the authority given him
by rule IX None of these, however. w
believe, bail acted as judges at any pri
mary election held ou the preceding
Saturday.
The convention presided over by A. O.
Beal consisted of several Committeemen
w ho had been regularly eld-ted the pre
ceding year aud whs bad held primary
elections in their respective districts on
tbe preceding Saturday, and of several
persons who had acted as judges of elec
tion in pursuance of a provision in rule
10, that in case of tbe absence of the Com
mitteeman 011 the day of the primary
election the voters pisent shall elect a
jiidge of election.
It apears from the evidence that
Messrs. Shoemaker and Coleman were
announced by the Chairman of the Re
publican County Committee in the news
papers tor the offices of Jury Commission
er and Director of the Poor respectively,
aud that ShafTer and Miller were not so
announced, and that iu the issue of the
Somerset Hkralii, published on Wed
nesday preceding the usual time for bold
iug the primaries.it was announced by
the Chairman that there being only one
candidate for each otlK-e to be filled, the
necessity for holding the primary election
was obviated ami that none would be
held; and it further appears that no list
of the candidates for the offices to be voted
for were furnished to the Committeemen
by the Chairman for the same reason.
It must be conceded that the plain in
tendment of the rules, taken as a whole,
is that no person shall be voted for at the
primaries of the Republican party of
Somerset County excepting those who
have paid the assessment or fee required
therein, have been announced " in mcb
Republican newspapers of the county as
shall be designated by the Chairman,"
and whose names appear upon the HsU
of candidates furnished the committee
men by the Chairman, as required by
Rule 20, and procured by them as requir
ed by Rule !. Tbe rules contain no pos
itive prohibition against other persons
being voted for, but to permit others thau
those thus previously qualified to be
nominated would certainly abrogate the
rules in such important particulars as to
render them invalid, aud it would be
plaiu disregard of an old rule of con
struction which requires us to inquire in
to tne nnscbief and the remedy if we
were to place any other construction 1 a
the rules.
THE BLOW THAT ALMOST KILLED
KATIIfcR.
The facts just stated aliove and the con
struclion placed upon the rules would
seem almost sufficient of themselves to
warrant the withdrawal of tbe names ol
Miller and Shalfer from our considera
tion as properly certified candidates.
without considering the reasons why
they were not announced by tbe Chair
man and whether these reasons were suf
ficient or not; in other word, as against
oiudidates who have been properly an
uou need, persons w ho have not been an
nounced should have no status, regard
less of the reasons why they were not
qualified by previous announcement, but
we do not care to rest our decision on
these grounds, although apparently tena
ble, but will supplement them with fur
ther reasons sufficient to our mind.
. Chairman Berkley, from the time tbe
first candidate spoke to him iu the early
spring, about having bis uaine announc
ed, until the last day for reviving the
names of candidates under the rules,
constantly asserted to all comers that
there was not sufficient money in his
hauds to hold the primaries and that he
would hold no primaries unless the can
didates agreed to secure him in the defi
cit, and that the exact amouut of deficit
could not be ascertained by him nntil tbe
last day for receiving announcements,
because the proper apportionment could
not be made among the candidates until
be knew how many there would be.
Shoemaker and Coleman were the only
candidates for tbe offices of Director of
tbe Poor and Jury Commissioner who
agreed to pay their share of the amount
necessary to be collected from the candi
dates to defray tbe expenses of tbe pri
maries and of the convention of return
judges. All the other candidates were
notified and they all refused in express
terms to pay anything more than tbe fee
provided for in Rule 20, or failed and neg
lected to ascertain from Chairman Berk
ley ou the last day for receiving an
nouncements the amount necessary for
them to pay in, be having previously ad
rised all candidates that be could infonn
them as to the amount necessary cn that
day.
It must lie conceded that the intention
Of tbe rules is that candidates for nomi
nation from year to year shall bear tbe
expenses of announcing their names, of
holding tbe primaries and of tbe conven
tion of return judges. This is clear from
the express language of Rules 13 and 20,
and we do not understand it to be contro
verted in this case. The expenses of
holding tbe primary elections in the forty-three
districts of Somenet County and
of the convention of return judges is con
siderable, ant. it was agreed that the fee
provided for in Rule 20 are not sufficient
in off ymfi" when only minor offices
are to be filled, but that the surplus from
yeais when tbe more important offices
are to be filled, for which the fees provid
ed are larger and when there are more
candidates, is expected to make op tbe
deficiency in "oft years." It seems to
follow then as a logical conclusion that if
there was not sufficient money left in the
bands of the Chairman from tbe year
lUii, which, added to the amounts paid in
by candidates in 1ST", would pay the ex
penses above referred to, that tbe candi
dates in 1W7 must make np the deficien
cy, and that the Chairman would have an
undoubted right to demand from them a
sufficient amount respectively, and to re
fuse to announce tbe names of candidates
who indicated their intention not to pay
their respective shares, just the name as
be would have the right to refuse to an
nounce the names of candidates who re-
I I

-- 'i
fused to pay the amount fixed by Rule 20.
It is claimed that the express language of
Rule 13 authorizes such an assessment.
but whether it does or not, it seems to ua
to follow by implication or inference
from the rules as a whole that such right
existed, and several precedents for it were
proven to have occurred in previous
years. If the construction of Rule 13 is
not as contended above, the opposite con
struction contended for would compel the
Chairman to "pay expen'-es of the con
vention of return Judges" without mak
ing any provision to enable him to collect
said expenses. The fact that some previ
ous Chairmen, as proven, had borrowed
the money to meet a deficiency can hard
ly be held as a precedent to require a
subsequent Chairman to do the same and
make himself personally liable therefor.
WERE AFRAID OK MANDAMUS PROCKED
1SOS. It was sought to be shown on the hear
ing before us that there was sufficient
money in the hands of Chairman Berk
ley to conduct the primaries, notwith
ing his assertion to the contrary, and that
no assessment was necessary; and wit
nesses were called to give estimates of
the probable cost of holding tbe prima
ries ; but we do not feel that we ought to
be asked, or that we can, i thin prurtfi
imj. settle a dispute of that character, in
volving, as it docs, the opinions of wit
nesses as to the proper amount to be paid
Return Judges, newspapers for announce
ments, aud rent for places in which to
bold primaries.
It seems to us that if the dilTerent can
didates doubted the statement of Chair
man Berkley that there was not sufficient
money iu his hands, or questioned bis
right to demand that they make up any
deficit, the primaries being especially an
affair tf theirs and not of his, and it be
ing known to them that their names
would bot be announced unless they did
pay him their shares of the alleged defic
it, tbe proper way for them to have ob
tained their rights would have been to
pay to Chairman Berkley the small
amount claimed from each one, having a
clear right to recover from him their
shuns of any unused surplus, and more
ei2MK-i.tllysincdli6h.il 11 '.i lied them of
his willingness to return any such sur
plus to them. If, as alleged in this case,
the claim of Berkley to collect from can
didates an assessment in addition to the
fee provided by rule 2'), and his failure to
announce their names, was a part of a
scheme to prevent them from being voted
for, the candidates could very readily
have disarmed him by complying with
bis demand, and the failure of all tbe
candidates to do so appears to us like a
concert of action on their part to disre
gard the rulos of the parry. Furthermore,
they ktiew on the !h of June, more than
two weeks before the time for holding
the primaries, by the fai-t that their
names were uot announ"ed iu the papers.
inat Mr. iierkley out not intend to tu
nounce their names or place them on tbe
ticket. If his reasons for not doing so
were insufficient, thny hi 1 a clear leal
remedy by applying to the Court for a
mandamus, and there was ample time to
have tbe question determined, and, if
successful, to .impel him to announce
their names before the primaries and fur
nish lists of candidates to the commit
teemen with their names on. This course
being opeu to them, and th ;y knowing
that they could not be legally voted for
unless announced, it was their duty to re
sort to it an! uot to insist ou their candi
dacy wbeu not announced, and not hav
ing their names printed on any ballot
furnished by the Chairmaa. If the rules
and regulations can be disregarded in
the manner attempted in this case an
such action is encouraged by the Courts,
we see no reason why they can not be set
aside at tbe will of every candidate who
sees fit to disregard them.
There is an abundance of authority
that mandamus will lie in such a case

tle, "Mandamus Pertaining to Elections,'

THE FAMOUS HEART BLOW.
Much evidence was introduced under
the offer to show that throughout this
whole transaction the Chairman was not
acting in good faith with the different
candidates and did not give them full in
formation a to the condition of the treas
ury and that be concealed from them data
important for them to know, but we still
think, as we frequently intimateJ at the
hearing, that this is uot material to the
issue. Tbe right of these candidates to
have their names printed on the official
ballots can uot be determined by the
question as to whether or not Chairman
Berkley did his full duty in the promises,
but the question is as to whether he and
the candidates together took the necessa
ry steps to qualify the latter as candidates
under the rules of tbe party. If they did
not, they are not entitled to have their
names printed ou the otlicial ballot, re
gardless of the reasons as to why tbe
proper steps were n t taken.
We conclude that Chiirman Bjrkley
was warranted by reason, by preced jiit
and by a fair construction of tbe rule of
the party in demanding of tbe candidates
that they pay or agree Ut pay their pro
portionate shares of the amounts neces
sary to enable nun to pay the expen
ses he was expected to pay under the
rules; an 1 while wa hve intimated
that we ought not to be called upon to
decide the question a to whether such an
assessment was necessary, and that be
was tbe sole judge as to whether an as
sessment was necessary, aud that they
bad their remedy if be was mistaken or
imposed upon them, yet we have no hes
itation in saying that if the precedents of
former years were followed it would re
quire more money to hold the primaries
than he had iu his hands ; and we do not
feel called upon to reverse any of these
precedents. It follows that Miller and
Shalfer, having failed to pay tbe assess
ments required of them, he was warrant
ed in declining to announce their names ;
and their names not having been an
nounced to the voters of tha county.
an I not having appear ed upon any list of
candidates furnished by the Chairman to
the voters, that they were not legally
voted for and that no convention of return
judges convened to count that vote can
make them lega. candidates, and there
fore the objections to thoir certificate
must prevail.
A BRAIS-OLOUT.
It follows from tbe above that there was
but one candidate to 1 voted for at the
primaries for the office of Director of the
Poor and but ont, caudidate for Jury
Commissioner; and this being tbe case it
is idle to aay that it was necessary to
spend the amount necessary to hold tbe
primaries, whether the Act of June 22,
l."!i7. applies to the case or not, (that Act
provided that where there shall be no
more candidates for any office than are to
be elected to such otlice the persona re
maining as candidates shall be deemed
the nominee or nominees," etc..) espe
cially siin-e precedents exist in tbe coun
ty for not holding primaries in cases
where there was only one candidate for
each offi-e to be filled : this occurred in
1SS5 and in isitk we believe, when no pri
maries were hel.L It seems to us that it
is unnecessary to elaborate further, as we
have already given our reasons at greater j
length, probably, than was neewsary. '
