" Section. 2. No portions of any term held by reasonable contingency or succession to a prematurely vacated office or the like shall count as a full term;
" Section. 3. The terms of office to any given body of government shall be staggered to ensure that an equal portion of the body assume office with each election so that no single faction may seize control suddenly; and terms shall end at noon on the fifteenth day of January."
