Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Election Statutes — Construction of Amendment — Qualifications of Office-holders. When an act of the legislature contains a section which prescribes the qualifications required of' persons to hold certain offices, and an act amendatory and supplemental thereto is subsequently adopted which reenacts the same section, except that one of the formerly prescribed' qualifications is omitted, it will not be presumed that such omission occurred by mistake, but the section of the later act. will be held to repeal the former in so far as the sections, differ.</p> <p>2. -Amendment Inapplicable for Lack of Time — Applicability of Repealed Law. The provisions of chapter 82 of' the Laws of 1909 being impossible of application as to the-nomination of candidates for the elective offices for the ensuing election, the provisions of preexisting statutes relating-to the preparation of ballots for such election must be followed.</p>
