or imprisonment, or both, under the provisions of this Act, such candidate shall, in addition to the punishment prescribed by the laws of this State, or by this Act, forfeit any office to which he may have been elected at the election in reference to which such crime or offense was committed, and if any candidate so offending is the incumbent of an office of profit or trust under the laws of this State, he shall thereby forfeit such office. Any candidate who procures, aids, assists, counsels or advises the payment of any money or other valuable consideration, by or [on] behalf of a committee selected under the provisions of section one of this Act, and such payment is made for any purpose which, if the money were expended by the candidate would work a forfeiture of the office to which he has been elected, such payment shall be deemed to have been made by such candidate, and he shall forfeit any office to which he may have been elected at the election in reference to which such payment was made by or on behalf of such committee. Sec. 12. Any elector of the State, or of any county, city and county, city of any political subdivision of either, may contest the right of any person declared elected to an office to be exercised therein for any of the causes or offenses named in this Act, or to annul and set aside the election of any person declared elected to an office to be exercised therein, who has forfeited his office for any offense committed in contravention of this Act. In such a proceeding the provisions of the laws of the State relating to the contesting of elections, so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, are applicable to proceedings authorized by this section. Sec. 13. When, upon the trial of any action or proceeding under the provisions of this Act for the contesting of the right of any person declared elected to an office, or to annul and set aside such election, or to remove a person from his office, it appears from the evidence that the offense complained of was not committed by the candidate, or with his knowledge or consent, or was committed without his sanction or connivance, and that all reasonable means for preventing the commission of such offenses at such election were taken by and on behalf of the candidate, or that the offenses complained of were trivial, unimportant and limited in character, and that in all other respects his participation in the election was free from such offenses or illegal acts, or that any act or omission of the candidate arose from inadvertence or from accidental miscalculation, or from some other reasonable cause of a like nature, and in any case did not arise from any want of good faith, and under the circumstances it seems to the Court to be just, that the said candidate should not forfeit his office, or be deprived of any office of which he is the incumbent, then the election of such candidate shall not by reason of such offense or omission complained of be void, nor shall the candidate be removed from or deprived of his office. Sec. 14. An action to contest the right of any person declared elected to an office, or to annul and set aside such election, or to deprive any person of an office of which he is the incumbent, for any offense mentioned in this Act, |
κ1895 Statutes of Nevada, Page 101 (CHAPTER 103)κ
|
for any offense mentioned in this Act, must, unless a different time be stated, be commenced within forty days after the day of the election at which such offense was committed, or unless the ground of the action or proceeding is the illegal payment of money, or other valuable thing, subsequent to the filing of the statement prescribed by section three of this Act, in which case the action or proceeding may be commenced at any time after such illegal payment. A contest for member of the Senate or Assembly must be commenced within twenty days after the certificate of election is issued or the declaration of the result of the election. Sec. 15. An application for filing a statement, payment of a claim or correction of an error false recital in a statement filed, or an action or proceeding to annul and set aside the election of any person declared to be elected to an office, or to remove or deprive any person of his office for any offense mentioned in this Act, must be made to or commenced in the District Court of the county in which the certificate of his nomination as a candidate for the office to which he is declared elected, or is the incumbent, is filed under the provisions of this Act. Sec. 16. A candidate elected to an office, and whose election thereto has been annulled and set aside for any offense mentioned in this Act, shall not, during the period fixed by law to the term of such office, be appointed to fill any vacancy which may occur in such office. Any appointment to an office made in violation of the provisions of this section shall be void. Sec. 17. Every offense mentioned in this Act, punishable by imprisonment in the State Prison, is hereby declared to be a felony, and when any person is convicted of an offense herein declared a felony, he shall in addition to the punishment prescribed by the laws of this State for such offense, be excluded from the right of suffrage after such conviction. Sec. 18. If the District Attorney of the county shall be notified by an officer or other person of any violation of any of the provisions of this Act, it shall be his duty forthwith to diligently inquire into the facts of such violation; and if there is reasonable ground for instituting a prosecution, it shall be his duty to file a complaint or accusation in writing before a Court of competent jurisdiction, charging the accused person of such offense, verifying such by affidavit, but it shall be sufficient to state in such affidavit that he believes the facts therein stated to be true. If any District Attorney fails or refuses to perform any duty imposed upon him by this Act, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall forfeit his office. It shall be the duty of the District Attorney, under penalty of forfeiture of his office, to prosecute any and all persons guilty of violation of any of the provisions of this Act, the penalty of which is fine or imprisonment, or both, or removal from office. Any citizen may employ an attorney to assist the District Attorney to perform his duties under this Act, and such attorney shall be recognized by the District Attorney and Court as associate counsel in the proceeding; and no prosecution, |
