    October 17, 1914.
    No. 19,117.
    Constitutional amendment — ballot.
    Secretary of state directed to have the official ballot for the seventh proposed amendment printed with the words “Seven Senator Amendment” as provided by the statute. [Reporter.] •
    Upon the application of George H. Goodspeed, this court directed Julius A. Sehmahl, as secretary of the state of Minnesota, to desist from further printing, circulating and distributing and furnishing to the proper officials of the state the ballot prepared by him for the submission of the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the state at the general election in November, 1914, and to proceed to prepare and make as the official ballot upon which should be submitted the constitutional amendments, a ballot whereon should be printed in reference to the submission of the amendment to section 2, article 4, of the Constitution, the words printed in capitals at the end of the opinion herein, and nothing else, so far as related to that proposed amendment, or show cause why he had not done so. The respondent made return that his acts in having printed the proposed constitutional amendment, with the omission of the words “Seven Senator Amendment” were done unintentionally and through inadvertence.
    Application granted.
    
      Ba/ycraft & Palmer and Moorum & Moonan, for petitioner.
    
      
      Lyndon A. Smith, Attorney General, and Clifford L. Hilton, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.
