A Redfield correspondent OF the Sioux
Falls Press, speaking Of the large num-
Der ui contests Instituted by candidates
at the late eectlon under the Australian
ballot laws. says:
These contests are based on various
grounds, but The most important point,
on the whole, At issue, is in regard 10 the
count OF vote under the new law :.
Much controversy arises on the count
OF \ vote where the straight ticket has
been crossed ut the top and q cross has
been put opposite name on some other
ticket.
At the last election different boards
decided the point differently, and hence
much confusion and probably dozen
contests will result. Tue law is specific
and says that to vote outside Of he
straight ticket, after the straight ticket
has been crossed, the voter must cross
the name On the opposition ticket and
erase the name on the straight ticket.
The two points are equally required nn-
der the statute, and il 10 cross, the ex-
ception is all essential it is held that tue
other pruyiso must also Le complied
with. Against this is argued the section
that says the count shall be governed by
the apparent intent ot the voter. 1t
will hardly do to decide that making a
cross opposite single candidate but
failure to erase other candidate, voter
has voted two fer the same office, and
hence the vote should be void and count
eAi for neither, because this would pre-
constituted vote, which, under the
statute, is not true, then only one is
voted for, and hence should be counted
for that one.
While under the old system the gen
eral trend OF court decisions have been
ienient and in behalf of the voter, it
would seem that under special law.
enac,ed 10 shut out frauds. the decision
should be a very strict application of the
law, 50 that errors may be remedied and
the law made go perfect as to accomplish
lis purpose Of purifying the ballot. Re-
publicans and fnsionisls are alike con-
testing, and hence no politics is affected
by what may be the final Interpretation
OF the law. The state generally will be
benefited ii some one Of these cases shall
reach y supreme court decision.
