Quaintance, a committee named at the
second meeting of the joint commit
tees of the Laramie Woman's club and
the Laramie Literary club to present
to the members of the school board
certain data in support Of the opinion
that the proper count of the ballots
cast at the recent school election
shows Mr.. Otto Gramm elected for a
three-year term, Mr.. w. H. Holiday
elected for a three-year term and Mr..
A.. G.. H. Bode elected for the unex-
pired term of MI. W.. H. Frazee, in
stead of, as announced in the papers
of the city after the election, that Mr..
Otto Gramm was elected for a three
year term, Mr.. A. G. H.. Bode for a
three-year term and MI. w. H. Holli-
day for the unexpired term of MI. w.
H. Frazee," has prepared its report, a
lengthy document nearly five pages of
typewriter matter. The total vote
cast at the annual school meeting was
ISL. Otto Gramm received 167 votes;
w. H. Holiday, 119; Arnold G. H.
Bode. 1872. A motion was made and
carried, previous to nominations, that
the two candidates receiving the high
est number of votes be declared elected
for the three-year terms, and the n
receiving the lowest number of votes
be declared elected to serve the unex-
pired term of Mr.. Frazee. The con
GLIDING paragraphs of the communica-
ton are as follows:
H~asenkamp Examines and Counts.
Now, according to an examination
and count of the ballots by Mr.. A. N.
Hasenkamp lat whose request we were
appointed to make this presentation to
your honors, there were .103 Of the
club tickets and IS of the tickets of
unknown authorship cast at the school
election under consideration. Many
of both kinds of tickets showed
changes or crossings, but, assuming
Mr.. Hasenkamp's report to be true, as
they now stand, IS of tie club tickets
and n of the tickets of unknown IL
thorship specify each a vote for Mr..
Gramm for the three-year or long
term-a total of SO votes clearly for
Mr.. Gramm for a three-year term.
Eighty of the club tickets and one of
the tickets of unknown authorship
specify each one vote for Mr.. w. H.
Holiday for a t~hree-year term. Nine
ty-two of the club tickets specify each
one vote for Mr.. A. G. H. Bode for the
unexpired term of Mr.. w. H. Frazee.
Some five or six of the tickets of IN.
known authorship specify a vote for
Mr.. Bode for a long term. Three of
the club tickets show each one vote
for Mr.. Corthell, one vote for Mr.. Car
ter and n vote for Mr.. Gerhard.
The unknown" Ballots.
"Of the tickets Of unknown author
ship, not already accounted for, II
show each one vote for Mr.. Gramm. SO
show each n vote for Mr.. Holiday
"a or 65 show each one vote for Mr..
Bode, and one a vote for Mr.. Hogbin.
An Assumption.
Assuming, for the moment, that
each vote on the tickets without indi-
cation Of the length Of term which the
person named should serve, If elected,
meant a vote for a ~three-year term,
with the understanding that the one
receiving the lowest number of votes
was to accept the unexpired term of
Mr.. w. H.. Frazee, then Mr.. Gramm has
SO votes expressly and II votes i'm
pliedly, or a total of 167 votes, for a
three-year term; and since he has the
highest number Of votes on these tick
cts, none Of them can be counted as
votes for Mr.. Gramm for the unex-
pired term of Mr.. Frazee.
"Bode Defeats Himself"
Is "Mr. Holiday has 81 votes expressly
for the three-year or long term; and.
since he has the least number of votes
of the three-year candidates in nom
nation, he may be assumed to have,
implicitly, 33 votes for the unexpired
term of Mr.. Frazee, but his votes for
the ~three-year term clearly exceed his
votes for the u%nexpired term Of Mr..
Frazee. Mr.. Bode has 80 votes for the
%unexpired term Of Mr.. Frazee, five or
six votes expressly and GA or 65 i'm
gpliedly, or a total of only 70 votes for
a three-year term. Mr.. Bode. as can
