ELECTION ILLEGAL.
Contest OF Exciting Interest In
the High School.
"Judge" Teddy Reynolds Accused
of Bribing Girl Voters With
Candy.

The ninth grade of the Hopkins
vile Public School is torn up over
contested election case. Last
winter the school adopted the self
government system and two council
men and judge were elected for
each OF the four high school rooms.
The promotion of Judge Hardy Had
den in the ninth grade created a
vacancy in the position of Judge for
that room, and an election was held
one day this week to fill the vacancy.
There were two candidates, Teddy
Reynolds and Miss Jean Goldth-
waite. In the balloting it developed
that many of the girls who had been
counted upon to elect one of their
own number voted for Teddy and he
went in with votes to spare. But
his triumph was short lived. His
election was at once contested upon
the most serious grounds. The
notice of contest charged him wit l
bribing the female vote with candy
and unduly influencing enough
votes to "defeat the will of the
people "
Judge Reynolds was cited to ap-
pear before the council of eight
members presided over by Mayor
Rollin Trice and the trial was held
Wednesday morning. Several girls
were put upon the stand and ques-
lioned so closely that they admitted
that they had been given candy
after casting thir votes for Teddy
They denied that they had beer
bribed, and Teddy was himself put
upon the stand and vehemently
protested that he had not bribed the
young ladies, but had merely given
them candy asian act of courtesy
and gallantry.
Other witnesses were introduced
toprove that Teddy had never been
known to distribute candy before
the day of election and that he had
only given it to girls who voted for
him.
The prosecuting attorney closed
the case by demanding that the
election be declared illegal. The
vote on the first ballot was a tie,
the mayor not voting. On the sec
ond ballot the mayor voted and one
vote was changed, making the result
stand to 3 in favor of conviction.
The election was accordingly held
to be void and a new election
ordered.
Teddy was game and at once de.
manded an immediate election in
order that he might be vindicated,
but this was not granted and the
election is yet to be held. This
postponement was evidently for a
purpose.
Yesterday the council passed an
ordinance making any pupil detect
ed IN bribery ineligible to hold office.
Supt. Mccartney ruled that a law
could not belmade retro-active,and it
was approved with the understand
ing that 1t applies only to future
transactions.
Judge Reynolds is again can
didate and will appeal for a vindi-
cation before ''the people. The
election will come off next week

 MT. Chamberlain: "Yes. he has, Sir Will Ham Vernon Harcourt continued: "The in- surrection was promoted by the foulest frauds. Was there ever anything so abom- drabie as the Rhodes telegram to Jameson two days before the rad. putting it into his mouth to lie about the objects of the raid? :? When the colonial secretary, after the raid asked for an inspection of the telegfams Hawksley wrote back that this was un> necessary, as the colonial secretary knew all. Therefore suspicious were set afioat by tho agent of Rhodes, but then there was no suggestion that they were covered by the compl.cfty of the colonial office. That is what want to have shown up. want the transactions of these men brought to light. Rhodes has deceived everybody. The raid was made by gold and lies"
 Sir Henry pbell-Bannerman, Wno defended the committees proceedings, said he feared the speech of the colonial seere- tary would not tend to lessen public sus- picion.
