OF
THE BALLOTS
JUDGE CARPENTER DECIDES I'M
PORTANT QUESTION IN THE
REALS-BATH CONTEST.
Contestant Can Show That Ballot
Boxes Were Safely Kept After
Reaching Hands Of County Clerk
and Must Show Integrity Before
That Time-Matters involved,

Judge Carpenter today decided that
the attorneys for the contestant
Charles A. Reals, in the contest OF
Reals, republican, against Alfred H.
Bath, democrat, for the office of sheriff
of Albany county, will be able to show
the integrity of the ballots cast in the
precincts included in the contestants
petition from the time they reached
the county clerks office, but that the
contestant must prove that they were
not tempered with between the time
of their casting until they were SO de,
livered. This, the attorneys for Reals
contend, will not be a difficult matter,
as in each instance judges and clerks
of election can be secured to show the
closing of the ballot boxes after the
polls were closed and their delivery
into the hands of the county clerk.
Will Be Called in May.
After deciding the motion. Judge
Carpenter adjourned the case until
May 6, when testimony will be heard
as to the safe keeping of the ballots
in the contested precincts.
The contestant will rely largely, it
is said, upon showing that in the
West Laramie precinct there were
but two judges of election present DUR
ing the casting and counting of the
ballot, the law requiring that no bal
lot shall be cast. counted or returned
during the absence of any one of the
three, the section reading that all
such judges shall at all times be pres
mi when. the ballots are being cast
and counted" and that ANY ballot
cast in the absence of any judge shall
be invalid" The throwing out of this
precinct will leave a much smaller
number of votes to be changed in 9TH
er ways.
Marking the Ballots.
One of the points to be urged by
the contestant is that in certain in
stances the law was nst clearly fol-
lowed by the voters in preparing their
ballots. In some instances the attOr.
neys hope to show that a cross was
made at the head of the republican
ticket and n following the name of
Bath on the democratic ticket, but
that the name of Reals was not marked
off. The contention will be made that
xhis should either be counted for
Reals, under the cross at the head of
the republican column, or not counted
at all, as the voter voted for two men.
Would Change the Results.
1.-THE contestant can show the in,
tergity of the ballots, he hopes to
show such a condition of affairs as will,
if the West Side precinct be thrown
out, give him a plurality of the lawful
ballots cast for the office of sheriff.
