HARRIS IO CONTEST
CALHOUN ELECTION
Claims That From Six to Twelve
Votes of Students Were
Cast Illegally
MAYOR PREslDE.s OVER BOARD
With His Honor as Chairman, Two
Other Judges Are Selected to Hear
the case-Harris Thinks He Has
Good Ground for Action-Mayor
Jones Not to Resign.

Dr.. George w. Harris. who was de-
feated for the conuoil in the Third ward
by c. W. Calhoun, who received a
plurality OF three votes. Is going 20
contest Mr.. Calhoun's right to occupy
his seat Illegal voting of from six to
twelve students OF the Christian Work
ers' Training School is to be Gharg-
ed in the notice OF the contest, which
will be filed soon. DR.. Harris thinks
he has good grounds for action, and
has employed counsel to look after hts
interests. The law, as he reads 1t. is
plainly to the effect that students are
not residents OF the place where they
school. and have no right to vote in
any such city. IT. Harris said this at
ternoon that he already had the names
of six students Of the school who voted
and he understood there were six 9TH
ers.
The contest OF sln election, according
to the code, takes place before an cleo
ton board, composed of the mayor
and two other judges, one selected by
each contestant. A notice of the con-
test must be fled With the city clerk
after the incumbent is declared elect
ed, and together with the notice must
be filed written statement of the in
tentions of the contestant in making
the contest, also the causes for the
contest. This must be verified by an
affidavit Of the contestant, or some
other elector of the ward. The con-
testant must also file bond, covering
the costs of the case, which are to
be taxed to him in case the election
Is confirmed. The name OF each person
who Is claimed TO have voted illegally
must also be attached. The city clerk
acts as clerk of the court, when the
hearing takes place.
The mayor. VITO is chairman of the
board, sets a date for the trial, not
more than thirty days nor less than
twenty after the filing of the statement,
and this is served upon the incumbent
also a copy of the contestants state
ment, at least ten days before the day
set for the trial. The contestant and
incumbent, then each file. on or before
the day for trial, a written nomination
of one associate Judge Who qualities in
the same manner and form as trial jur-
ors In the district court They are
judges of the law and fact with refer
ence to all matters involved in the con-
test
The law governing the voting of stu
dents, as near as can be learned from
perusal of the code, lays stress as to
the intent of the voter. The intent and
the fact must accord as to the resi-
dence. Cases that have already been
decided show that while student may
be resident of a town for several
years, while attending school. he spent
his vacations at home, and had no par
Licular plans for the future. knowing
not whether he was to become resi-
Gent of the city in which be voted or
not. 1t has been held that unless there
was an absolute intent, on the part of
the voter. to reside in the city where he
voted, he WAS not a legal voter of such
city

streeta alphabetically Denied.

Mayor Jones, will not resign. Council
man Webster. of the Fourth ward will
not be elected by the council to fill
the vacancy. These stories which have
been current on the streets are en-
phatically deried by Mayor Jones, who
says he has no intention Of resigning
his office. The information brought
out in the persistent rumors on the
streets was to the effect that because
OF Ill health it would be impossible for
the mayor to continue in office, and that
the council had already decided to elect
Mr.. Webster. The fact OF the matter
Is Mr.. Jones is feeling better than he
has for Some. time, and Is able to be
at his desk each day. Just how the
rumor had its origin is not exactly
known, but II is said to have started in
the Fourth ward and used against Mr..

Their last Years Record.


Most of these players are strangers
to local fans but perusal of the
official guide will throw some light up
on the doings OF six of these men last
year.
OF the catchers Depew, who was be-
hind the bat for the Sioux City team
in the South Dakota-Iowa League,
ranked second among the catchers in
fielding. He played i'm fifty-three
games, his fielding percentage being
$50 and his batting IFS. Archer, an
other catcher, WATSON first for Fargo In
the Northern League during eleven
games. His fielding per cent was 1855
and his batting .225. He fielded next
to the last among the first base
men.
Powell the pitcher. twirled for Jop-
lin, in the Missouri Valley League and
his position during twenty games at
e3S clip and batted at PSI. Joplin fin
ished at fourth place.
Mcclure, at short, comes from the
Fargo team of the Northern League.
He stood ninth among the players OF
his position In the league, with a per
cent of .S39, and batted at .15S.
Donovan, on third, is another Fargo
player and finished at twelfth place
among the third base men of the
league. His per cent was SAT and he
batted at .1S1 clip.
Pennington, second baseman, played
at short last year with Font Scott, Kas.,
of the Missouri Valley League. His
fielding record was .s99 and his batting
ISL.
Nothing other than base ball dope"
is known of the others, some of whom
are reputed to be fast. Much, how
ever, can be said of the speed with
which Reynolds has got his men to-
gether, for he was handicapped by a
late start.
