Head of the Ticket Elected-A Printers
Mistake Defeats the Mt, jack
son Republicans.

The election in Mount Jackson yesterday
was very close and holly contested. 1t was
SO close that nothing but the official count
could decide which party had gained the
day. The contest was more in the nature
of a friendly rivalry than a political fight.
When the polls were opened in the morning
at s o'clock 1t was discovered for the first
time that the ballots were all Illegal, hav-
ing been printed with the Republican ticket
at the left-hand side, when the law plain
ly states that all tickets shall have the
Democratic ticket printed to the left, then
the Republican ticket, the Prohibition. and
any others following in the order in which
they were certified. When the copy for the
ballots was taken to VIM B. Burford's last
week to be printed the question arose be-
tween the election clerks and Mr.. Bur-
ford's manage as to the arrangement OF
the two tickets on the ballot. 1t was finally
decided that the party in power at the time
had the right to nave their ticket first or
the ballot, and the copy was rearranged
accordingly. When the sealed package of
tickets was opened yesterday morning the
mistake was discovered, and Messrs. Mer-
rill Moores and r. O. Hawkins were COM
INUNDATED whisky telephone. They decided
that if the ballots were used as printed the
election would be void. More tickets were

it was nearly IL o'clock before the first bal
lot was cast in Mount Jackson. 1t Is known
that this mistake was the cause OF several
Republicans falling to vote, as they were
compelled TO leave before the ballots were
ready. AS 1t turned out, the vote was so
close that in one case even one vote would
have caused a tie or two would have
changed the result. The vote was as fol-
lows:
For Clerk-Bert Amos, Democrat, 65; So
Ion Lee, Republican, So: Amos's majority, 2.

B~rightwood's vote was a victory for law

the Citizens ticket. was defeated by a ma

most notable feature Of the election.
Stephens is looked upon as a competent
and honest man and his defeat is not a
personal matter, but a rebuke to the sa-

the performances being particularly well
done. Charles +. Tingay makes a manly
