In the recent municipal contest IN Chat
tanOoga there was three-oornered tight
for mayor between two Democrats and a
Republican. The split in the Democratic
party was due in great measure to the
Rev sam Jon who stirred up the peo-
pie on the liquor question. The result
was that the Republican candidate. who is
opposed to the 10 o'clock closing law, was
elected. The combined Democratic vote
was 2.4S5 the Republican vote being l432.

ELECTION INVALID.
So Declares The Court OF Ap.
peaIs in Thin Ballot Case.
Opinion Held up Two Weeks
VIII be The Law in Flu
lure Contests.

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. Owe
are of the opinion that all ballots
should be printed on white paper,
sufficiently thick that the printing
can not be distinguished from the
back, and if ballots are used at an
election which do not substantially
comply with the law the election rs
not conducted as required by law
and is invalid"
So declared the Kentucky Court
of Appeals to-day in the new noted
Ohio county tissue ballot case, APP
pealed from the Circuit Court of that
county. The opinion was written
two weeks ago, but was held up
because of the intense political feel
ing existing, and because the men,
bers of the court did not want to be
understood as Observation-Disclosures
the State Election Commissioners.
The opinion OF the court was writ
ten by Judge Paynter, and concurr-
ed in by Chief Justice Hazelrigg
and Judges Hobson and White.
The opinion was dissented from by
Judges Burnam and DuRelle, the
latter writing the dissenting opin-
ion. Judge Guffy neither assents
nor dissents, for the reason, as he
says, that he was not sitting when
the case was argued and had not
the time to GO into the record with
the other Judges. In dissenting
from the majority opinion of the
court, Judge DeRelle takes the
ground that the voters should not
be disfranchised for an irregularity
for which they are not responsible,

TONEY WAS WRONG.

Guffy Concurred,

Frankfort, Ky, Dec. 9.-The tenn
porary restraining order granted
by the Court of Appeals to prevent
Circuit Judge Touey, Of Louisville,
from furnishing for alleged contempt
of his court Mayor Charles p. Wea-
yer and other city officials, was
made perpetual by the court to-day
in an opinion by Chief Justice Haz-
elrigg, concurred in by all of the
Judges except DuRelle and Bur-
nam.
The opinion, which is quite lengthy,
declares, in substance, that the So
called Honest Election Democratic
patty is but a faction of the regu-
Lar Democratic party; that it is not
a distinct political party, and that
it was not entitled to, as Judge
Toney held, have inspectors at the
polls in the city of Louisville, or
anywhere else, in the recent election.
The dissenting Judges did not file
an opinion to-day, but will do so
during the vacation of court, which
began to-day.

PITZER ACQUITTED
On One Charge, But Fined For
Carrying Pistol.

The examining trial of Reuben
Pitzer, charged with shooting and
wounding John Berry about three
weeks ago, was held before Judge
Cansler Friday and resulted in an
acquittal. The parties reside in
the Bluff Spring neighborhood and
Berry is a tenant on Pitzer's farm.
They became involved in a quar-
rel and it seems that Berry threw
a stone at Pitzer and tine latter
drew pistol and fired at Berry,
striking him in the fleshy portion of
the left thigh, inflicting a slight
wound. Pitzer came to this city in
day or so, surrendered to the
authorities and was released on his
own recognizance.
The trial was set for a hearing
twice before, but owing to the alb
sence of several witnesses, had to
be postponed.
Pitzer was fined for carrying a
concealed deadly weapon and the
claim was promptly satisfied.

failure to carry on the work which

to the pinch of producing the funds,
the critical necessities are forgotten
and the vital part of the whole PROPOSE
ton falls back into the same old
grooves. with all due respect to the
opinions of those who believe Hawaii
has been Invested of its Legislature,
we fail to see sound reason for their
conclusions. Unless the direct state
ment is received from the President
that our legislature cannot act while
the new territorial bill is pending. We
have every reason to believe that the
proclamation which continued present

legislators of authority to act. The
Legislature must necessarily be guided
by directions from the President, and
II is the duty of Mr.. Dole to find out
the degree of legislative action which
the President will allow. The local
