M. J. Walsh Recommended for Seat
At Convention to Replace Sen. Lyng
J UN E A U, (#)—The Attorney
General’s Office Wednesday rec
ommended to Gov. Heintzleman
that “write-in candidate” M. J.
Walsh of Nome be certified as
having been elected to the Con
stitutional Convention.
Walsh, if he accepts, will fill
the convention seat left vacant by
the death recently of Sen. How
ard Lyng, one of the four candi
dates who was elected to the four
seats in the Ninth Election Dis
trict in the Second Division.
The opinion, written by Assis
tant Atty. Gen. Henry Camerot,
cites legal precedent for and
against the seating of Walsh, who
received three write-in votes.
Gov. Heintzleman indicated he
would certify Walsh now that the
legality of Walsh’s position has
been established.
The question of the legality of
Walsh’s votes arose around the
legal definition of the word “can
didate” in the Alaska election
laws, and the fact that Walsh had
not declared an intention to seek
office.
Camerot’s opinion noted that
/ there were several persons who
took no active part to forward
their election and were not candi
dates- within the definition gener
ally attributed to the word “can
didate.”
The opinion cites several cases
in law where courts have held
that such “candidates” were not
eligible to serve.
However, the opinion cites oth
er precedents which take the op
posite view and define a candi
date as one who “is just put for
ward for election, whether with
or against his own will.”
“In view of the split in author
ity as existing, I believe it would
! be unfair to refuse to certify that
person (Walsh) receiving the high
est number of write-in votes in
the Ninth Election District, espec
ially since the convention has the
prerogative 'of rendering the final
judgment as to which persons will
be qualified to sit as delegates,”
Camerot wrote.
Walsh has not yet cinched the
seat, however. His three votes
were as of Sept. 23 and the final
count, including absentee votes,
has not yet been completed by the
canvass officials. Three other Sec
ond Division candidates received
two votes apiece: D. Arthur John
son, Frank Degnan, and W. W.
Laws.
Twelve other persons received
one vote apiece:
Clinton Gray, Guy W. Elam, W.
Mclver, William Cameron, Rich
ard Thomas, William Angell, A.
R. Ferguson, B. B. Mozee, L. E.
Ost, L. Dunbar, Rusty Huerlin,
and “McCarthy.”
