““The statute makes it obligatory upon all persons, who desire to be candidates, at an election, to see to it that their certificates of nomination or the necessary papers, entitling them to have their names placed on' the ballots to be voted, are filed not less than fifteen days before the election. If they neglect to do this, they must suffer the loss.””
