The HERALD prints this week
communication from Walnut town
ship setting forth the facts in the con-
test cases of that township. 1t will
be seen from this statement that thur
ty-one men swear to having voted the
Peoples Party township ticket
straight = leaving only twenty-five
that could possibly have voted the
other way. This fact, coupled with
another, that there were eighteen mu-
tilated ballots returned, when both
the clerks say there was not to exceed
five so mutilated by the voters makes
rather a strong showing in favor of
the contestants. Then another sig
nifcant fact as developed by the re-
count is the changes in the vote as re-
turned by the election board. For
instance according to the township
board Caswell received twenty-five
votes and Coffee thirty-four, while
the recount shows Caswell twenty
three and Coffee thirty-six. Differ
ences show in all the others except G..
w. Parker whose vote is nineteen in
both counts. The difference in the
second road district is so great as to
change the result, Gipe'5 vote is
changed by the recount from four to
six, and Houcks' from nine to two,-
There certainly murt have been some
thing wrong with the counting
of the ballots in these cases. But
the most significant fact is in the
eighteen defective ballots, which is
more than was returned by any other
township. The case is certainly not
permanently settled yet, as there is
suit for damages pending which will
undoubtedly call out all the facts in
the case. The contest is not pollti-
cal one, as some seem to think, but |
simply a fractional township fight.
