Mr. Samuel A. Mcdaniel:
Dear Sir:-Tho law Cove ming primary
elections In New Castle County provides
among other things as follows:
"Whero there are several candidates for
nomination for the same office, tine elector
shall indicate his choice by crossing out
the namo of all the candidates except those
for whom he desires to vote, and in case
an elector has omitted to cross out the
names on his ballot as aforesaid, tho said
ballot shall not be c,unted for any such
candidate or candidates"
am advised that in one Of the voting
places in tho City Of Wilmington ballot
were voted where all the names for Sheriff
were crossed out except yours, but there
was no crossing ont of the names for the
other offices such MS recorder, coroner etc.
am further advised that the judges Of
election refused to count such ballots for
you because Of the failure OF tho voters to
properly cross ont the names Of the can di-
dates for the other offices although he had
properly crossed out the names OF all your
co npetitors for Sheriff. Iii my opinion
that such votes should have been counted
for YOU. Where voter properly crosse
out the name Of oil the candidates for one
Office leaving the name Of the candidate
to be rejected because the voter failed to
vote for any candidate for other offices.

Of all your competitors for the office Of
