AN ELECTION CONTEST OF INTEREST IN OHIO

AN ELECTION CONTEST OF INTEREST IN OHIO.
Columbus, Dec o (specla!).The new Ballot law,
under which the last election held, has resulted In
complicated contest I'm the Senatorial district COM
posed CT Muskingum Licking, Perry and Delaware
counties George Iden and Daniel II. Gaumar were
the Republican and Democratic candidates respectively,
and although the district Is largely Democratic the full
returns show the election Of Mr. Iden The certificate
Of election, however Is withheld by the non-partsan
County Election Board, and a writ to-day filed In
the Supreme Court asking for alternative writ Of
mandamus compelling the Muskngnm County Board to
certify to his election The petition. In effect asks that
the Board be directed 10 issue certificate that Iden Is
elected the face % the returns-hat is by the votes
returned from Perry Delaware and Muskingum Coun-
tes-eaving Licking out The vote In the three coun-
ties named gives Iden 761 plurality but Licking.
coding to Democratic figures wipes this out and elects
Gaumar by vote. while Republicans maintain that,
with the correct vote of Licking County, Iden has pu
iality. The Licking County Board divided, sending two
abstracts TO the Muskingum Board whose duty 1t Is to
issue the certificate of election. This created di-
vision in the Nuskngum Board and the members de-
cline to certify to the election of either candidate
The question raised is whether the returns from
Licking County because Of the two abstracts Do
rejected and election declared the vote Of the
other counties I'm the district. Much interest centres
in the ruling Of the court, since the rejection adj
