KILLED AND PUT
ON THE CAR TRACK
Some Evidence This Was Fate of Vic
tim of Interurban at East
Moline.

Evidence has been secured that in
dicates that the man killed by the in
terurban car at East Moline Sunday

cradle money, and was sober. The

Judge Graves Denies In
junction to G. W.
MCCaskrin.
THREE VOTES" BARRED
Not on Nominating Petition
Filed at Springfield,
as Required.

Judge Graves, in the Circuit Court,
this noon denied a writ of injunction
TO George W. McCaskrin, restraining
County Clerk II. 3. Hubbard from
having printed and distributed the Off
cial ballots corresponding to the form
of the sample ballots.
The decision Of Judge Graves was
based on the grounds that in accord
ance with the statutes, the form had
been made according TO the certifi-
cate of nomination. McCaskrin's petit
ton did not state that the words three
votes" should appear on the ballot, and
therefore the secretary of state and
the county Clerk have no right TO have
these words placed on the ballots The
fault was purely Mr. McCaskrin's, due
to neglect and oversight on his own
part, and to no one else.
States Attorney H. A. Weld appear
ed for County Clerk Hubbard. while
s. r. Kenworthy appeared for
the complainant. The injunction was
asked for on the grounds that McCas-
krin should be entitled to three votes.
and where it is not specified. as Nc

possible that the judge of the election
could consider that he should be cred
tied with but one vote. The writ was
intended to make it necessary for the
county clerk to have inserted the
words three votes" after McCaskrin's
name. before the ballots could be dis
tTibuted.
Not the Clerks Duty.
In denying the injunction Judge
Graves said: The only question is
whether the county clerk shall be re
strained from distributing ballots
which do not contain the words three
votes" As the petition of the candi-
date did not specify that these words
should appear on the ballots they could
not appear there, according to law.
Certainly it can not be the duty of the
county clerk TO place more on the bal
lot than is provided for in the petitions
and by the statutes of the state"
The decision of Judge Graves in
this matter will apparently com
plicate the affair only in so far as
those desiring TO cast three votes foI
McCaskrin will be obliged to write the
words three votes" after his name or
the official ballot.
