Syllabus

<p>Elections — Mine inspectors — State office — Nomination petitions —Obvious errors.</p> <p>1. The office of mine inspector is a State office and candidates therefor can be voted for only in an-even numbered year.</p> <p>2. A nomination petition to have printed the name of a candidate for the office of mine inspector upon a ballot to be used at a primary election in an odd numbered year, is erroneous on its face and is properly set aside at the instance of a qualified elector of the county wherein it was filed, without regard to the party affiliation of the petitioner.</p>
