Utah Election Invalid.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 19.-
County Attorney, c. o. White
more, this afternoon handed
down an opinion on the legal
status of the recent election. II
declares the ballot was not n
secret one as defined by the
provisions of the constitution,
which are mandatory aud pro-
hibitory; therefore, the election
itself IS absolutely invalid
and is, in fact, no election. 4"
The board of canvasers Is ad-
vised, however, that it must
perform its duty, which is
merely ministerial, and that
the county clerk must issue the
certificates Of election required
by law unless he is prevented
from so doing by the interven-
ton of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The opinion was
delivered to the board of can
vassers at its meeting this after
noon. The opinion is in reply
to a resolution of the Salt Lake
County Canvassing Board, to
the effect that the legality of
the election has been brought
into question and asking that
the duties of the canvassing
board be defined.
