the supreme court of this State render

argues against it; nobody criticizes it.
Here is a tribunal composed of reputa-
bic men on both sides taken from the
body of this House, who have spent
days upon the Investigation of this
troublesome question from Dexter.
That court has rendered its decision

the square at the top Of the Republican
column. Unless something was done to
indicate the contrary, that cross voted
every man in that Republican column
including the sitting member, Mr.. Wal
dron. When that cross was made Mr.
Waldron was voted for, and that vote
should be counted for him unless le-
gally he can be deprived of it. The
minority, as 1 understand it. attempt
t. deprive Mr.. Waldron OF this vote
because in the square devoted to his
name there is a cross made, a cross
touching the faintest degree the letter
81 of his name, and passing down and
partly cutting out the letter Sc" AS
sensible men was that an erasure of
the rame Of Lafayette p. Waldron? We
formerly had the method of making
crosses down below the square at the
tor to indicate our choice for represen-
tativc. After the ballot law was
changed it was not infrequent for a
man to make his cross down below the
party square for the purpose of en-
phaSiZing his desire to vote for the per-
son in whose square he put that cross.
Are you going to say, gentlemen of the
House, that when man put cross in
that square devoted to the representa-
tive touching that one letter of Mr.
Waldron's name. that is an erasure of
the name? Do you know whether it is
an erasure? Do you know whether it
might not be q desire of friend of Mr..
Waldron's to indicate in that contest
his desire to vote for him and to en-

Waldron's name or not, it cid not. My
brother comedies the principle that no

The gentleman having this matter in
charge is suffering from an attack of
the grip. I believe the sitting member
of this House has made no other ar
rangement for any particular person to
represent his interest upon this floor;
but he is my ncighbor, my friend: he
comes from my county; is upon my
delegation; sits with me and my Broth
er Johnson in the judiciary committee
Of this Legislature. Therefore. perhaps.
I should be doing him an injustice if
ut this time I remained silent and al
lowed his case to be unpresented to the
members of this House. I can only give
soma passing reflections that have oc-
Cured to me as 7 have listened to my
distinguished friend who has just adj
dressed you.
I agree with him that this question
should be settled not in accordance
with our personal views or inclinations,
but in accordance with the law of the
State. I agree with him that you can
not and should not go into the intention
OF the voter as represented by one or
more of these ballots. The law says you
shall not. AS law-abiding citizens we
are bound to obey the law. Not only
docs the law say that VIC shall not go
into tho intent of the voter. but COM
nor prudence says we should not. The
moment you depart from the rule laid
down by the statutes of this State you
are afIoat upon a sea of speculation,
and will land you know not where.

of the situation than VIC are. I concur
with my brother that it is a misfortune
that these ballots could not be written
in flaming letters upon the wall before
us. 50 that every man might be able to

scrintion may be faulty. mine may be:

Brown, by placing his cross in thu
Democratic square. The only diff
ference between the method in Illinois
and ours is that instead of having Il
square ut the head Of the party group
they have a circle. In the Illinois case
the voter placed a cross in the circle
above the Republican party group and
also a cross in the circle above another
party group, but the other group which
think was The Populst had no can
didate for the school board. The Re-
publicans in their column had candi-
date for the school board. And the
supreme court of Illinois counted those
ballots as votes for the Republican
member of the school board in that
contest. Here is the decision found
in the 30th Lawyers Reports Annotat-
ed that those votes were counted as
voted for the Republican member 81
the school board and so allowed If
that be so, and if that is good law in
Illinois. isn't it good law for us here
in Maine. with no decision of our State
court upon this question and no statute
which says that there shall be voting
in one column only? Isn't that a vote

he did not vote again for a member of
the Legislature. There was no double
voting / submit The, minority Of the
committee in asking that that vote be
counted for Mr.. Brown are borne out
by the decisions of the supreme court
Of Illinois. / know of no decision which
would reject that ballot. If you receive
those two ballots and they are counted
for Brown. his vote is 425 and the vote
for Mr.. Waldron is 423. But. if gentle
men. you feel that those two last bal
lots. this voting in two columns, this
placing of a sticker above mans
name and clipping the top letters is not
sufficient erasure to meet the technical
requirements of the law or the require
ments which you set up in your own
minds, what will you say to the other
proposition that this was tie vote-425
votes for each of these candidates?
How can you escape that conclusion,
counting these ballots fairly and inn
partially? Whatever the consequences
may be in this result, we are not here
to deal with consequences. AS L said.
Mr.. waldron is my friend, but this Is
not a matter Of friendship. it is not q
matter of party; it is a matter OF prin-
ciple higher than friendship or party
it is a matter Of precedent to be fol-
lowed in the future; it is a matter
which should receive the careful. can

There has not been a more sensa-
tional excitement in Vine Grove in
long time than occurred there late
Saturday evening, when little girl
about five or six years of age got
lost and wandered SIX or seven miles
over the surrounding country.
The little girl is the daughter of
Mr.. Cumberland Brown, who resides
just over IN Meade county. She
had come to town with her brother,
Albert Brown, who after making his
purchases left her and went to hitch
up his wagon. While he was gone
the little girl seeing mule team
going out of town thought he had
gone and left her and started for
home afoot. After wan dering
through fields and woods and across
a creek, running from those who call.
ed to her as she passed, the little
one came up to the door of Mr., Will
Hall and knocked for admittance.
The only information she gave them
was that she was "Mamma,s
girl, and after eating supper
played contentedly with the children.
MIR. Hall telephoned to Vine Grove
and found out that the whole town
was out with lanterns in search of
the little girl, who had been rowing
over the country from 3 o'clock un-
til after nlghtfall There was much
excitement during the search. 49,

FUNERAL OF C0LMESNE|L
Wednesday Afternoon Was Attended BY
Many Prominent Railroad Men,.
Flowers In Abundance.

1t seemed to me there were flowers
from everywhere, fashioned into
beautiful designs. In point of fact
these loving expressions Of sympa-
thy and tenderness came, in the
main, from Wills railroad friends
who reside in Evansville. Flowers,
the rarest of flowers, the greatest
abundance of flowers were mute wit
nesses to the sorrow of Will Colmes-
neil's friends. To form true es-
innate of mans character learn
what that mans daily associates
think of him. At the funeral were
goodly number of high railroad
officials, superintendent, general
passenger agents, general freight
agents and conductors and engineers,
most of whom were past the meridian
line, rugged, practical business men,
whose features were softened and
refined and humbled by the sorrow
they felt. give the names of some,
not all, of the railroad men who
mourned for Will Colmesneil on yes
terday: Edgar James, Leo Hurd,
f. H. Mann, Henry j. Clarke. H.

S. A. Cherry, T. s. Shaw, NJ. J.
kierce and Messrs. W. l.. Smith,
W. +. Downing, Converse. II. j.
Shoeing and Walsh and other rail-
road men whose names | failed to
get. These men of affairs, these
keen readers of human nature, had
known Will Colmesneil for years and
their friendship for him was strong
aud durable as his friendship was
for them. The reciprocal friendship
of one true man for another And
there were yet other mourners there
whose faces were strange to Wills
Kentucky friends, a host of whom,
his Kentucky friends | mean, shared
the sorrows of the Indiana mourners.
Will Colmesneils father, John De
Colmesneil, came from France and
settled in Bullitt county about
twenty miles from Louisville. He
was of a distinguished family and
was highly educated and accomplish
ed. He married Courtney Taylor,
a daughter of Major Edmund Taylor,
Of Jefferson county. whose wife was
a Thurston. From this union he
subject of this sketch was born fifty
eight years ago. All of which being
known 1t is quite easy to account tor
the virile traits and attractive. low
able characteristics of the deceased
neredity.
Will Colmesneil's two sons, noble
boys | learn, should be inspired by
/ knowledge of their honored ances-
.ors, for the mother of these bright
Boys was a daughter of that same
