The Law and the Ballots.

At the election November, 1905
some precincts in the city of Louis
vile were disfranchised because
the Democratic clerks of election
stole those ballots.
BY the action of three or fOul
criminals hundreds of citizens had
been DISTINGUISHED.
The County Clerk was requested
to supply those precincts with bal
lots to supply the deficiency. He
consulted with able counsel and he
was informed that he had no right
to issue a second supply of ballots,
and he did not issue them. There
is no doubt he acted in good faith.
The Court of Appeals, in its de-
cisiOn in the contest cases, has,
however, settled this matter. The
court specifically states that the
clerk is not to blame for acting as
he did,. but that he made mis-
take. The highest court holds
that hundreds of citizens cannot
be disfranchised by the acts of a
handful of criminals who steal the
ballots. The court directs that in
the future when a clerk of an cleo
ton steals the ballots that the
County Clerk promptly supply the
precincts with ballots.
The law provides for place for
holding an election. 1t provides
that the clerks of election be given
the ballots to bring to the desig-
mated place. If, as proved the
case in 1905 with the Democratic
party, number of the clerks
prove to be criminals and steal the
ballots this affords no good reason
for DISTINGUISHING hundreds of cit
liens. The Court of Appeals
states that when the ballots are
stolen the County Clerk shall send
a second supply to the legal place
so that the election may proceed.
The application of this decision
will put an end to the removal of
precincts, for a second supply of
ballots can be secured at the legal
place, and the courts will only con-
slider returns from the legal place.
