Guilty. The blunder was first discovered several d'Fs
ago, about the time the ballots were distributed. ana
It's importance wa' not suspected until examiha,lo"
OF the ballots showed that they. we're incorrect. 1t
appears that in drafting the law providing for the spe'
cial election september 80. the copyi>i must nave ms
taken the figure eleven for the roman nuncial H.
and so the law va, made to read that the vote should
lie upon repeating tine CLAUSE ~foridddins lotteries IL
stead Of that %forbidding special legislation for cues.
The clause was quoted CORE, tly. bt niimoioi
wrongly. The Secretary Of state III preparing inc
ballots followed the law exactly. and the ballots are
therefore correct according to law and wrong accord
ing to the intent of the law. There are -5O!'Do OF
these distributed through the Siave. Sc''t'ars h'Fc'
saws lie w0ud have had no option bni 10 obey ina
law. in any case. and that h" will not recall III; h"'-
lots unless he j. ai,i,ei to do 80 by the Attorney
General. I;mt the question arise whether any ic-"i
action can he taken: II the law i wrong 'hcrr Is
trouble ahead. no matter what the ballots may oo.
