Craig v. Brown
114 Cal. 480·1896 Cal. LEXIS 928·46 P. 870
Supreme Court of CaliforniaOctober 8, 1896S. F. No. 709California119 words
Lead Opinion
We are of opinion that the application for a writ of mandate should be denied, holding that the designation “ National Democratic ” is not calculated to deceive. Henshaw, J., Van Fleet, J.,
Harrison, J., Temple, J.
Dissenting Opinion
Beatty, J.
I dissent. I cannot distinguish this case from the Dolan and Ewing cases, in which we held that candidates nominated by petition are not entitled to a party designation which might mislead voters.
Concurring Opinion
McFarland, J.
I concur in the judgment ; but I also think that the question—under the peculiar form which this petition for a writ takes—was determined by the secretary of state when he accepted and filed the certificate, and that his action cannot be reviewed on this proceeding.
Garoutte, J., dissented.
