Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of optimism. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a delegation of the Senate by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assailed by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It defenseless in the protection of those rights declared inalienable under the Constitution.—Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee. SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT The Republican party made no mistake when William Howard Taft was renominated for the presidency. He is a man of the people, his public record is clean and he stands for policies which mean the continued progress of the Nation. He deserved a renomination because of the great achievements of his administration. He has shown sober judgment and broad statesmanship. The Afro-Americans have a good friend in Mr. Taft. He inherited his open sympathy for the race from his father, Judge Alphonzo Taft, than whom the Afro-American never had a better friend. A few years ago Mr. Taft was appointed a trustee of the Jeannes fund for the education of the poor Afro-Americans in the country districts of the South, and his acceptance of the trust is an evidence of his sympathy for the poor and downtrodden. In his public utterances, President Taft has denounced lynching in the strongest terms; he has approved higher education as well as industrial OUR FRIEND PRESIDENT TAFT training; he has paid high tribute to the race for its great progress in education and industry during the past forty years, and he has expressed his deep sympathy for the sufferings of the Afro-American from the contemptuous insults of white men not his equal in intelligence and devotion to duty. To President Taft must be given credit for having appointed an Afro-American to the highest office yet obtained by one of the race. He did this when he named William H. Lewis Assistant Attorney General of the United States. The President has shown his interest in the race in so many ways that there can be no doubt about the matter. says, "A man's a man for a' that and a' that' even if he is black. From Newton, N. J., comes the statement that a White Leghorn he of that burg laid an egg this week measuring 9.5 by 7.5 inches. It is a most as much of a strain upon one's mind to believe this story as it must have been upon the hen to lay it, a though it is said to have had a soft shell. The egg has been put in alco to preserve it, and we will put this story in our archives for the same purpose. A very romantic wedding took place in Marshaltown, Iowa, this week when George M. Minkler, aged 77, and Mrs. Huldah A. Davis, aged 57, had The great body of the Afro-Americans are Republicans, true to the party, and when November comes they'll cast their votes for William Howard Taft. Two years ago Champion Jack Johnson celebrated the 4th of July by licking Jim Jeffreys, and he had another celebration last Thursday by doing the same thing to Jim Flynn. He had licked Flynn once before and he ought to have known better. We do not care a rap for Jack Johnson and abhor pugilism, but it is pleasing to know that in the "manly art of self-defense," as they used to designate it, as well as in many other lines, a man's ability cannot be absolutely determined by the color of his skin. Our sanctum sanctorium is in close proximity to a daily newspaper and on the occasion of the two victories of Johnson we could tell of the progress of the fights by the shouts or the silence of the crowds that surrounded the aforesaid newspaper office as the returns of the fights were announced. Of course the crowds were made up almost entirely of men of the complexion of Jeffreys and Flynn, and they were mighty poor loosers. Had they been genuine sportsmen they would have cheered the winner of the coveted title, "the best man in the world," but they were as silent as clams when Johnson won. We were away up on the 5th floor, but their silence reached us and was music to our ears, for it told us that as Burns W. H. says, "A man's a man for a' that and a' that' even if he is black. From Newton, N. J., comes the statement that a White Leghorn hen of that burg laid an egg this week measuring 9.5 by 7.5 inches. It is almost as much of a strain upon one's mind to believe this story as it must have been upon the hen to lay it, although it is said to have had a soft shell. The egg has been put in alcohol to preserve it, and we will put this story in our archives for the same purpose. A very romantic wedding took place in Marshalltown, Iowa, this week, when George M. Minkler, aged 77, and Mrs. Huldah A. Davis, aged 75, both inmates of the Soldiers' Home, were united in wedlock. The groom had been married four times and the bride three. They took a six months' "furlough" immediately after the wedding. Evidently they do not believe marriage is a failure. The outlook for a bumper crop all over the country is so favorable at this time that the dealers in provisions have already begun to reduce the prices on many of the necessities of life. That good crops will knock the stuffing out of the high cost of living is a consummation to be devoutly wished for. A strenuous effort was made at the Democratic National convention to have a plank inserted in the platform disfranchising the Afro-Americans, and yet there will be some boneheads who will vote the Democratic ticket at the coming election. The United States still stands at the head of the heap in the Olympic games at Stockholm, and, as usual, the Afro-American is helping. The Democrats have nominated Wilson and Marshall. Taft and Sherman will beat them to a frazzle. Like the famous whiskey: The nomination of Wilson—that's all. Taft will be elected. --- RACE WELL REPRESENTED In Government Service. Taft Named Man for Highest Place Attained by the Race. Afro-Americans Draw Ten Millions Annual Salary There are more Afro-Americans in the service of the United States Government, under the Taft Administration, than ever before in the history of the country. President Taft Gives Race Highest Office Yet Attained To President Taft is due the credit for having appointed a colored man to the highest office ever held by one of the race in the government service. Taft named Hon. William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, he did a thing unprecedented in the annals of the nation, for this is a near-caribonet position. An Afro-American's Name on All U. S Paper Currency and Bonds Paper Currency and Bonds. One of the most important offices in the Treasury Department, that of Registrar of the Treasury, has been continuously filled by a Republican appointment, for more than a quarter of a century, while under Democratic administrations during that time no Afro-American was considered worthy to occupy that position. The place is now held by Hon. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, who was appointed by President Taft. The importance of this office is indicated by the face that the signature of the Register is attached to all paper currency and bonds issued by the Government. Some Others in High Places.

The highest salary paid an Afro-American is received by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Haiti, whose salary is $10,000 per annum. A number of government officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 per year. Clerks are paid from $500 to $1,800. The total number of Afro-Americans in all branches of the service of the United States Government is in round numbers 15,000, and the aggregate annual salaries paid amount to nearly $10,000,000.

College Education Essential to Full Development. Every once in a while you will meet a man, whose vision is a bit clouded, who talks about the waste of money in teaching men of your race the curriculum of an academic institution. Instead of sending them to the university, the claim has been made that they should be sent to manual training institutions. Such a man has never thought deeply on the subject and does not understand that as a race which is striving upward and onward you need many who should be leaders—men who shall find in the learned professions, many of them as physicians, as lawyers, and especially as ministers. I believe they subsist in our majesty for cons applauders der our (Hearty Howard) Of the U More to Higher Education Essential to Races. Now it is highly essential that all of the men of your race and any other race who are to occupy the learned professions shall be equipped with a complete education and those of us who are responsible for the coming of your race to this country are equally responsible for furnishing the means by which they shall lift themselves. (Hearty applause.) It is essential that we should encourage those who aspire to be the leaders of your race as far as possible and furnish the means for higher education such as are supplied by Howard University, by Fisk University and other institutions established for the higher education of your race. Now these people who are involved in the waste of money on that account, need not sit up right on the subject, for I have looked into the amount of money that is invested in those institutions and there is not anywhere enough money to furnish the education that is needed by the colored people of this country. (Applause.) President Advocates Government Aid. Of course, it is well to have voluntary contributions where you can get them, but where you cannot get them they ought to be pieced out with the governmental appropriations. (Applause.)

Of the United States Can Have No More Sacred Function than to Speak Words of Encouragement." "With your efforts to uplift yourself, I have the deepest sympathy. The President of the United States can have no more sacred function than to speak words of encouragement and hope to assist your own efforts. Fate in the past has not been kind to you, and the whole American people has the highest obligation of trusteeship and guardianship for your uplift. "I say to the colored men and women of this country that hard as your lot has been and hard as the road is likely to be, it will be a road onward if you abide by your consciences and by ideals of self-restraint, and that you will attain a condition you hardly dream of today."-Address of President Taft, to Afro-American citizens of Atlanta, Ga., at Bethel Church. SAUCE FOR THE GANDER. SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Mrs. Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N. Y., is believed to be the first suffra-gist in the United States to be given a penitentiary sentence for husband-beating. She was arrested on a war-want obtained by Mr. Dubal, who complained that in a fit of rage she gave him a sound beating. City Judge Albert Hotchkiss declared that if women desired men's prerogatives, they should also have men's punishments. He always dealt severely with wife-beaters, he said, and accordingly sentenced her to three months in the penitentiary. Now, ladies, will you be good?

CYPRUS IS CHANGED Island Well Governed by British for 34 Years. Young Greeks Want Union With Greece—People Keeping Peace Between Turks and Christians, Writes Correspondent. London.—A correspondent, writing from Nicosia, Cyprus, recalls that just 34 years ago the island was handed over to the custody of the English people by the tactics of a great English prime minister. The annexation was the outcome of the Berlin conference of 1878. The Cyprus of 1878 was described as a "whitty brown paper colored, desert smitten, God forsaken island." But the British are a nation of housemaids, and their first act on acquiring new territory is to sweep and to clean. And right nobly has the work in this instance ben done. Dirt, decay and disease have been vanquished, all have disappeared. The population at the time of the British occupation was 180,000, of which two-thirds were Greeks and the remainder Turks. The art of keeping the peace between these different nationalities is one calling forth a high degree of diplomacy and integrity. Witness the difficult position of a police official in Famagusta, who was waited on by a body of Greeks, asking if they might have a procession the following Tuesday. "Why do you wish a procession?" he asked. "To commemorate the ever distressful taking of Constantinople by the Infidel Turks," was the mournful reply. Half an hour later a Turkish deputation called upon the same official. Had they the permission of his excellency to fire the cannons the following Tuesday? "Why do you wish to fire the cannons?" he asked. "To celebrate the ever glorious taking of Constantinople by the true believers of the Prophet," they replied. After some consideration he gave the required permission to both parties, on their solemn assurance there Cyprus—The Port of Larnaka. would be no infringement of law and order! and it says much for the prestige of the British government that no heads were broken when the rival celebrations took place in due course. WOMAN, 100, PLANTS ASTERS Mrs. Eliza Van Brammer Works in Garden and Plays Whist on Her Birthday. Pittsfield. Mass.-Mrs. Eliza Van Brammer celebrated her 100th birthday by setting out asters in her flower garden and by playing a rubber of whist with friends who called. She dresses herself, entes three meals a day and reads the daily papers. Mrs. Van Brammer was born in Waterloo, N. Y., June 8, 1812. She was a daughter of Henry and Mary Presser. She came to Pittfield in 1853, and in 1854 married Jacob Van Brammer. With the exception of seven years she has since lived in this city. Her father's people were Quakers and her mother's stock were the Dyers, of Massachusetts, who were in the whaling trade. . Mrs. Van Bramer's sister, Mrs. Catherine Harris, of Waterloo, N. Y., is eight-three years old, and her brother, John Presser, of the same place, is eight-four. USED CAN TO MUFFLE BABY Railroad Shop Is Required to Remove Little Sister's Odd Device to Silence Cries. Shamokin, Pa.—Alming to soft-pal the cries of her two-year-old brother Joe, six-year-old Helen Misocky pushed a lard can over the little fellow's head. The baby's muffled shrieks attracted the attention of the mother to the can. Although she held the baby on the floor and tugged at the strange damper, it refuses to budge because it was caught under the child's chin. The harder the mother pulled the fouder the boy cried. Finally the frantic mother took the canned child in her arms and ran with him to the railroad roundhouse, where two machinists attempted to remove the can. They finally had to resort to a pair of big iron shears to remove the can. As the can came off blood flowed from both sides of the boy's head, and it was found that he had had a narrow escape from losing his ears, both of them being badly lacerated. Atlantic City.—While teaching her husband the intricacies of the "turkey trot," Mrs. Agnes E. Day, a vivacious matron of twenty-one, sank with a groan to a couch and died a few hours later. The exertion had ruptured a blood vessel. Ohio Will Vote on Death Penalty. Columbus, O.-The Ohio constitutional convention decided to submit a proposal abolishing the death penalty and prescribing life imprisonment to popular vote at the November election Box Car, Wreck, Pullman, Job, Then Arrest. Sam Simons, wanted in Aberdeen, D. on a grand larceny charge, had an exciting trip to Minneapolis, which he started via the box car route and ended in a Pullman, but not till he had been badly battered in a wreck which occurred near Milan, Minn., when two of his white traveling companions were killed. Several "gentlemen of the road" were cozily enclosed in the box car, which was tightly closed and dark as night, although it was high noon Tuesday. Suddenly there was a crash, he said, and he found himself flying through space, being brought up with a round turn as his head came in contact with the end of the car. When he regained consciousness, they were trying to dig him out of the debris. Owing to his injuries, the conductor paid his fare to Montevideo. Then he passed the hat and collected enough to ride in state to Minneapolis. Wednesday he got a job as porter in the saloon of Bob Salter, 110 Third street south, where he was found by Detective Hamilton and locked up in Central station. He is charged with stealing an overcoat, but says he is innocent and declares he is willing to return to Aberdeen and stand trial. THE PRIVATE CAR STEWARDS MONTHLY.

All voting at a primary election shall be by ballot. On the 19th day before a primary election, the secretary of state shall certify to the auditors of the several counties the names of all nominees to be voted for within such counties whose certificates have been properly filed with him, and on the fourteenth day before such primary, each auditor shall group all the non-partisan candidates and the candidates of each political party by themselves, and prepare for public inspection a non-partisan ballot and a separate sample ballot for each political party. The names shall be arranged alphabetically according to the surnames, and each county auditor shall post the sample ballot in a conspicuous place in his office, and give one week's published notice thereof in the official newspaper of his county. One sample ballot only of non-partisan candidates and of each political party, shall be printed for any county, and thereon shall be placed the names of all candidates to be voted for in such county. Each ballot shall be headed by the party name, the words "Primary Election Ballot," the names of the county and state, and facsimile of the official signature of the auditor preparing it, and a column for first choice votes and a column for second choice votes. The non-partisan primary ballot shall be headed as provided in Section 2 of this act and shall not contain a column for second choice votes. Otherwise, the ballots shall be arranged in the same general manner as the ballot used at general elections, with suitable divisions and explanatory notes. Only one form of sample ballot for each political party need be printed for any city, and thereon shall be placed the names of all the candidates to be voted for in the entire city, those to be voted for in any single ward being indicated by the words and figures "1st ward," and so on. At the foot of the ballot shall be placed the heading "Ballot for Women," under which shall be placed the names of candidates to be voted for by women. Said ballots shall be subsantially as follows: OFFICIAL PRIMARY BALLOT. Designation of Party. To vote for a person whose name is printed on the ballot, make a cross (X) after his name in the proper column, as follows: A voter may vote for one first choice and one second choice for each office to be filled. Mark your First Choice with a cross (X) in the First Choice column: Mark your Second Choice with a cross (X) in the Second Choice column. VOTE FOR ONE FIRST CHOICE. AND ONE SECOND CHOICE. Governor First Choice Vote for One Second Choice Vote for One A. B..... C. D..... E. F..... G. H.... The officer preparing the ballots shall provide necessary space for the officers to be nominated pursuant to law; provided that in city primary elections in cities having home rule charters sample primary election ballots shall be prepared carrying out the intent of said charters of said cities, placing all names of candidates for city office on one ballot in each city without any party designation whatever, if the charter so provide. In such cities, except for the omitting of all party designation, the provisions of this Section shall be followed as fully as practicable. Sec. 5. That section 187 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Section 187. The auditor of each county in which said primary election is held shall have printed a sufficient number of separate primary election ballots, varied as may be necessary for the several districts and wards. The names of candidates under headings properly designating each official position, shall be rotated upon the ballot in the printing so that the names of all candidates for each office shall be so alternated on the ballots used in each election district that they shall appear thereon substantially an equal number of times at the top, at the bottom, and in each intermediate place, if any, of the list or group in which they belong. All officers charged with the preparation and distribution of such ballots shall cause the printer's forms to be so transposed and the blocks of the ballots to be so made up as to carry out the intent hereof. There shall be no printing on the back of the ballots, or any mark to distinguish them, except the initials of the judge or clerk; provided that in all city primary elections in cities having home rule charters, the officers designated in said charters shall prepare primary ballots for such city elections as provided in said charters, and this section shall apply therein only in so far as it does not conflict with the provisions of said charters." Sec. 6. That section 189 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Section 189. The blanks provided for registration of voters for general elections shall have an additional column headed "Voted, Primary Election," and be used at both primary and general elections. No names of voters shall be placed upon said registers prior to the day of such primary election, except in cities of the first class, nor shall any be placed thereon upon said day, except the names of those who appear in person before boards of registration for that purpose." Sec. 7. That Section 193 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same hereby is amended so as to read as follows: "Section 193. (a) Each elector shall be entitled to designate on his political party ballot, in the manner herein provided, the name of his first choice and also the name of his second choice as nominee for each office. (b) The voter shall mark his ballot in the following manner to indicate his first and second choice: (1) He shall place a cross (X) in the first column after the name of his first choice candidate, and a cross (X) in the second column after the name of his second choice candidate. (2) He shall place but one mark in any one designated space. (3) If a voter votes either in the first or in the second choice column, for two persons, such vote shall be counted as a first choice vote for the person voted for whose name appears first in such column, and as a second choice for the person voted for whose name appears lower in such column. Provided, if the voter votes for more than two persons for any one office, or if for any reason it be impossible to determine his choice for any office, his ballot shall not be counted for such office; but the rest of his ballot, if properly marked, shall be counted. No ballot shall be rejected for any technical error which does not render it impossible to determine the voters choice, even though such ballot be somewhat soiled or defaced. (4) A vote for one person only shall be counted as a first choice vote, whether the voter places his cross in the first or in the second choice column. (5) A first and second choice vote cast for the same person shall be counted as a first choice vote only for such person. (c) A voter shall designate his choice on the non-partisan primary ballot by marking a cross (X) in the small square opposite the name of each candidate for whom he wishes to vote. (d) The rules of law governing the determination of the intention of the voter in all other elections shall apply to this act, except as herein otherwise provided." Sec. 8. That Section 196 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be an the same hereby is amended so as to read as follows: "Section 196. Canvass of votes on primary ballots shall be made in the same manner and by the same officers as is provided by Chapter 6 of the Revised Laws of 1905, except as herein otherwise provided. The ballots shall be counted in the following manner: The election officers shall take the ballots from the boxes count those cast by each political party and for non-partisan candidates, place them in separate piles and fasten together. As the first and second choice votes are called off from the political party primary ballots by the primary officers, they shall be entered by such officers on the tally sheets, a form for which shall be substantially as follows: OFFICIAL TALLY SHEET. For Governor. Such officers' tally sheets on which the count has been so entered shall be included in the returns of such election. The officers of election shall on blanks to be provided for that purpose make full and accurate returns of the votes cast for each candidate, giving both first and second choice votes as herein provided. The returns shall set forth opposite the name of each candidate the number of first choice votes cast for such candidate, followed horizontally by a statement of the number of second choice votes cast by his supporters for each of the other candidates. Such tabular statement shall be substantially in the following form: Precinct Party FOR GOVERNOR. First Choice Candidates Second Choice A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. A. B. (50) 30 15 5 C. D. (40) 25 10 5 E. F. (25) 15 7 3 G. H. (5) 3 3 1 ... The officers shall seal the returns and return the same to the auditor in the manner and as provided by law." Sec. 9.

The names of candidates shall APPEAR on the tally sheets, or tally books in the order in which they appear on the official sample ballots, and in each case shall have the proper designation at the head thereof; provided, that in primary elections for city officers in cities having home rule charters, but two books or tally sheets shall be provided for each district, and party designations shall be omitted in headings and returns, if so provided in said charter." Sec. 10. That section 199 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same hereby is amended so as to read as follows: "Section 199. The canvassing board shall prepare, sign and file with the county auditor the following report: 1. A separate statement of each political party of the names of all candidates thereof voted for at the primary election, the number and total of first choice and second choice votes received by each and for what office, showing for whom such second choice votes were cast and from the supporters of which candidate said second choice votes were received, in form as indicated in Section 8 hereof. 2. A separate statement of the names of the candidates of each political party who are nominated. 3. A statement of the whole number of votes registered and the number of ballots cast at such primary election, men and women separately. 4.

Sec. 11. That Section 200 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same hereby is amended so as to read as follows: "Section 200. The state canvassing board, as constituted for canvassing the returns of general elections, shall open and canvass the returns of a primary election made to the Secretary of State, at the usual place and hour of meeting, on the 7th day after such primary election. It shall determine ties between candidates as in the case of general elections. Upon the completion of the canvass, the Secretary of State shall certify to the several auditors the names of the persons found to be nominated, and mail to each nominee a notice of his nomination. 1. The state, county and city boards of canvassers shall be guided by the following rules except as herein otherwise provided. (a) If any candidate for an office received a majority of the first choice votes he shall be declared nominated for such office. (b) If no candidate is thus nominated, drop the name of the one having the least number of first choice votes and add the second choice votes cast by his supporters to the first choice votes of the remaining candidates for whom they were cast, and (c) If no candidate then has a majority, drop from the remaining candidates the one having the least number of first choice votes combined with the second choice votes received through such elimination, and add the second choice votes cast by his supporters to the votes of the remaining candidates for whom they were cast. (d) Repeat this operation until some candidate has a majority or until only two candidates remain. Then the one having the greatest number of votes to his credit shall be declared nominated. (e) No second choice vote shall be counted when it is cast for a candidate whose name shall have been dropped as herein provided. (f) Any tie shall be decided by lot by the canvassers. (g) The person receiving the highest vote at such primary election, determined under the rules herein provided, as the candidate of any political party for an office shall be the nominee of that party for such office. Candidates on non-partisan ballots receiving the highest and next highest votes determined under the rules herein provided, shall be the nominees for the office for which they are candidates; provided, however, that if the number of votes cast for any candidate or candidates of any party for any office at such primary election shall aggregate the number of votes equal to ten per cent or more of the average vote cast for state officers of that party at the last general election in the territory within which such candidates are to be voted for, then all candidates of that party within that territory shall be deemed to be the party nominees of such party; otherwise no candidates of that party within that territory shall be deemed nominated and in such case, such party candidates of such party may be nominated by petition as provided for in Sec. 213 to 216 inclusive. Revised Laws 1905, and the candidates of any such party failing to receive such ten per cent of such vote shall be eligible for nomination under the terms of this provision. The term "State officers" as used in this act for the purpose of computing the average vote to determine the ten per cent vote as above provided shall be and is hereby defined to be the following officers: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer and Attorney General. Provided further, that if less than three persons file for a non-partisan office such lesser number shall be the nominee or nominees, as the case may be, for such office." Sec. 12. That Section 201 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Section 201. The persons certified by such canvassing boards' to be nominated, shall constitute the nominees of the several political parties or the nominees under the terms of a home rule charter, or the non-partisan nominees as the case may be, to be voted for at the next ensuing general election, and their names shall be printed upon the official ballots prepared for the ensuing election." Sec. 13. That Section 217 of the Revised Laws of 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Section 217. If a vacancy occurs after nominations have been made or by reason of the failure of any party to receive ten per cent of the vote as provided in subdivision (g) of Section 11 of this act it may be filled at any time before the general election by filing with the proper officer a nomination certificate in form and substance as hereinbefore provided, executed by the chairman and secretary of the proper committees of the party whose voters make the original nomination, under the direction of such committee, and the chairman and secretary when so filing such certificate must attach thereto an affidavit to the effect that such candidate has been duly selected by said committee and that the persons signing said certificate and making such affidavit as such, are the duly authorized chairman and secretary of said committee.

If the county attorney of the county shall be notified by any officer or other person of any violation of any of the provisions of this act, it shall be his duty forthwith to diligently inquire into the facts of such violation, and if there is reasonable ground for instituting a prosecution, it shall be the duty of such county attorney to present the said charge, with all the evidence which he can procure, to the grand jury of such county. If any county attorney shall fail or refuse to faithfully perform any duty imposed upon him by this act, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof shall forfeit his office. It shall be the duty of the county attorney, under the penalty of forfeiture of his office, to prosecute any and all persons guilty of any violation of the provisions of this act, the penalty of which is fine or imprisonment, or both, or removal from office. Any citizen may employ an attorney to assist the county attorney to perform his duties under this act, and such attorney shall be recognized by the county attorney and the court as associate counsel in the proceeding; and no prosecution, action or proceeding shall be dismissed without notice to, or against the objection of, such associate counsel until the reasons of the county attorney for such dismissal, together with the objections thereto of said associate counsel, shall have been filed in writing, argued by counsel, and fully considered by the court, with such limitation as to the time of filing such reasons and objections as the court may impose Sec. 33.
