BLANK BALLOT
Question Rendered Pertinent By Provisions
Of The City Code.

Va @AS SAeJ @~>A0F
An of4iciol opinion has been given that
a blank ballot is sqaivsl Mt to no ballot
at all. and that conse qaenlly the Demo
cratic nominees for municipal Offices in
Annapolis, who received tour votes at
the FIRST meeting OF the City Council on
July goth. as against three votes for the
only other candidate in nomination. were
duly elected to the respective cffices Tor
which they were named and are entitled
to be sworn in by the Mayor.
The latter has said that he would re.
fuse to administer the oath OF office to
them, in which event there promised 70
be litigation. Upon invesiis atioD, how
ever, Il is found that the provisions OF
Section s. OF Article zo OF the City Code.
completely sets at rest the contention that
the incumbents of the municipal offices
are the nominees above Mentioned. and
does away with the .pernnence. of the
question in the present case as 10 whether
a blank ballot counts or not. Section ?.
of Article 7o, says:
Upon every new election, according
to the provisions OF this Code. each OF
the aforesaid officers shall, before they
proc eed to act in their several capacities,
give bond and securities TO the satisiac-
Iion OF the Mayor. Counselor and Alder
and take such oaihs of Office are provid-
ed by law in respect TO said offices.
The aforesaid officers" are those men
toned In Section L. consisting OF practi-
cally all the city officials. Section s
declares as follows
"Whenevar any officer shall be elected
by the Corporation, who is required by
any Law to give bond for the faithful dis
charge of his duties, and shall not. within
ten days after his election. produce
satisfactory security to the Mayor. Coun-
selor and Aldermen, authorized by law
TO approve the bond, such election
shall be considered of no effect and
shall be vacated.
The alleged Officers-elect were voted
upon on July 7oh, and ten days having
passed without their having produced
security to the Mayor. Counselor and
Aldermen, as required by Section aiore-
said, the situation now undoubtedly is
the same as it was before the first meet
ing Of the new City Council. in so far as
the election of fficers is concerned. AT
each meeting OF the Council subsequent
to July 2olh, the blank ballot was not
materially in evidence in the voting.
