ELECTIONS:            County committeeman holds over until his
POLITICAL PARTIES:    successor is elected and qualified.
COMMITTEEMAN:



                      January 3, 1955








Honorable Rarold S. Hutchison
Proseuting  Attorney
Maries .County
Vienna, Missouri

Dear Mr. Hutchisont

     In your recent request for an opinion of  this office,
you ask:

          A man in this county had his nae  put
          on the ticket of the Republican Party
          for Comvmitteeman, 1948,. then was elected
          and qualified.  In 1950, 52 and 54 his
          name did not appear upon  the ballot and
          was not written in.

          My question is, did he continue  to hold
          office until his successor was elected  and
          qualified and is he at present  a township
          committeeman?

     It is assumed that no one else received  any votes what-
soever for the office which the  committeeman to whom you refer
held, and that, therefore, there was no  successor elected as
Republican Coxnitte~man in either the years  of 1950, 1952,
or 1954.

     Section 12 of Article  VII, Constitution of 1945, provides:

          Except as provided  in this constitution,
          and subject to the right  of resignation9
          all officers shall hold  office for the
          term thereof, and  until their successors
          are duly elected. or appointed and qualified.
