Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The right to contest the election, as here concerned, is purely statutory. Terry v. Harris, 188 Ark. 60 , 64 S.W.2d 80 ; Hays v. Harris, 188 Ark. 354 , 65 S.W.2d 526 . The rule is stated in 18 Am. Juris. 361: “Such statutory proceedings are special and summary in their nature. Therefore, as a general rule, a strict observance of the statute is required, so far as regards the steps necessary to give jurisdiction, and the jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings.””
