Enid Wave: 1t has been decided by
what is considered good legal authority
that Bob Neh's name can, or may, ap-
pear on both the Democratic tickets. and
VIII so appear Two years ago in this
county several hundred votes were
thrown out as mutilated because the
voters had placed a cross TO the name of
certain candidates on both the Demo-
cratic and Populist tickets. 1t seems that
the law requires the election board to
agree unanimously on the legality Of 4
vote. If this IS true the Republican
judges will not agree TO count the tickets
on which the name of Robert Neff Is
crossed twice. They ruled that way here
two years ago, whether it was legal or
not. We are Of the opinion that the
appearance of NefT's name on the face
of the territorial ticket twice will lose
him many votes.
