Description
The facts were stipulated, and briefly are as follows: Wade, the relator, asserted his right to the office in question by virtue of an appointment thereto on April 22, 1939, by the Governor of the state of Colorado, and Downen, the respondent, asserted his right to retain the office upon which he had entered by virtue of an appointment by the Secretary of State March 20, 1939. If the appointive power to fill the office resides in the secretary of state the judgment is correct and should be affirmed. If it resides in the governor it is erroneous and should be reversed. This was the sole issue before the district court and is the only one presented here for determination. It is raised by appropriate assignments of error. Other assignments point out certain provisions of the Constitution which it is contended will be violated if the judgment is permitted to stand. These are not here set forth because in our view of the case the issue may be resolved on other than constitutional grounds.
