State Ex Rel. Ryan v. Norby

I concur in the foregoing opinion of Mr. Justice Angstman wherein he holds that an elective public officer cannot be ousted without notice and an opportunity to be heard. I do not concur, however, in the holding that the right to an office is a property right. It is my view that the right vested in the office holder to defend his occupancy is that he may uphold the will of the electorate and exercise the public trust reposed in him until removed for cause.
