McSHERRY'S MANEU PRES.
The action of the Town Council
on last Saturday night, under the
decisions of Mayor McSherry, pre-
sents to all law abiding citizens
very serious and momentous ques-
ton.
If the Mayor of the town can
override law, make it a nul!ity,
trample it under foot, why cannot
every other person do the samef
How can he enforce ordinances if he
kicks the acts of the legislature into
nothingness ? Let US see; new
election law is inaugurated, booths
are bought, tickets are printed, and
an election held in strict accordance
Herewith, but on the count the law
is turned down by the Mayor. He
decides that the face of the returns
shall be final. He would have made
a good man for Golf, and a bad one
for Fleming on the gubernatorial con-
test. The face Of the returns elect
ed Golf, but the legislature refused
so to act, and seated Fleming,
Which is the wiser, McSherry or
the legislature?
The law, Chapter 3, Section IS Of
the code says:
"The board, before proceeding to
canvass the returns Of the election,
shall open each sealed package of
ballots so laid before them, and with
out unfolding them, count the num-
Der in each package and enter the
same upon their said record. The
ballots shall then be again sealed up
carefully in anew envelope, and each
member of the board shall write his
name across the place were said en-
vclope is sealed"
This was not done. Is the law to
be obeyed? If not, why not?
It's claimed there was Gear Reed,
is there a Car McSherry? Section
68 also says:
after canvassiDg the returns of
the election, the board shall, upon
the demand of any candidate voted
for at such elections open and ex-
anime any one or more of the sealed
packages of ballots and recount the
same"
This demand was made Mr.. May
or, and was not permitted. Do yop
recognize the law or are you a law
breaker? If you recognized the law
why was not Mr.. Hutzler's demand
filed in writing, for recount per-
mitted? Can you give any excuse
therefore? Section IS of chapter 8,
makes the municipal council perform
these duties. Why were they not
performed? Do you mean to abide
by the law and if so why was not
this law enforced clear through!
Can any man give any reason for not
carrying out strictly this new fan
gled election law? One man is said
to have voted twice, another non
resident is said to have voted, mu-
4 - harya
taken, and a question of change of
residence from ward to ward was
also in il but ifthe election law is not
to be complied with, why hold any
election at all? The grand jury and
the courts should now take hand
and ascertain whether the laws are
TO be enforced.
