THE REGENCY QUESTION

We fail to see on what ground Col. Sutton can take the seat as regent now filled by Col. Dean. Col. Dean holds by appointment from a governor. The constitution of the state says: "When a vacancy shall occur in the office of Regent it shall be filled by appointment by the governor. ' ' A vacancy existed, Col. Dean was appointed and the vacancy was filled. Where then is there any vacancy for Col. Sutton to step into? If a vacancy is once filled, no vacancy longer exists. But it may be argued in other cases where the governor appoints, his appointee only holds until the next general election. In reply to this it is only necessary to state that the provision of the constitution in reference to filling these other vacancies is different. For instance, the constitution says : ' ' When a vacancy occurs in the office of judge of the supreme, circuit or probate court, it shall be filled by appointment of the governor which shall continue until a successor is elected and qualified. ' ' In this case the constitution plainly limits the time for which the governor can fill a vacancy. In other words a vacancy is filled in a judgeship temporarily, because the constitution plainly gives the filling of this vacancy to the people as soon as they can act. If the same thing was intended in the office of regent why was the qualifying clause not added. Or if it is not necessary why was it inserted in the clause relating to the appointment of judges? Again the only way the constitution provides for filling a vacancy in the office of regent is by appointment not by election.

The question is not a new one. Many vacancies have occurred in the office of regent. They have always been filled by the governor and have held for the unexpired term of their predecessors. The question has been submitted to previous attorney generals who have invariably decided against the right of election. It remained for Attorney General Maynard to attempt to overrule his predecessors and give an opinion, which seems to us to fly in the face of all the rules of logic. But Attorney General Maynard has no control over the matter and we expect to see Col. Sutton's aspirations suddenly set down upon by the supreme court.
