The existence of holomorphic (in time) solutions of the nonrelativistic equations of motion of nonneutral systems of point charges that do not contain inverse powers of the speed of light greater than three is proved by using the Cauchy theorem. The indicated equations contain time derivatives of the accelerations of charges.
