Dapper v. Smith
Michigan Supreme Court
Certiorari to Kent; Wolcott, J. Mandamus by Emil A. Dapper to compel Connor H. Smith, county clerk of Kent county, to certify the names of candidates chosen by a mass convention to a place on the official ballot. There was an order denying the writ, and relator brings certiorari.
1Per curiam

This application was denied, and certiorari is brought to review the ruling of the circuit judge. A prompt decision is indispensable to the preservation of relator’s rights.
