DO BLANK VOTES COUNT?

Arguments have just been concluded
in Sioux Falls before Judge Frank B.
Smith Of Mitchell, sitting for Judge
Jones of the state circuit court in an
important case, which is an outgrowth
of the now celebrated saloon license
case arising at Beresford.
The case involves the question OF
what constitutes a majority in an cleo
ton. The case is somewhat different
from the other cases decided by the
state supreme court, in hat it is a
question of blank ballots being count
ed In estimating the total vote, instead
Of the question of the necessity of q
majority of all the votes cast at the
election, which was involved in the
other cases.
At the late municipal election at
Beresford 296 persons presented them
selves to vote on the liquor question.
Four OF them voted blank ballots, 14s
voted for license, and 144 against
license.
On June l Judge Jones rendered a
decision in which he held in substance
that license had carried, and the city
of Beresford. following this decision,
issued permits to -four applicants for
saloon licenses. who filed the neces-
sary bonds, which were approved by
the city council Of Beresford. The
county treasurer, however, refused 20
receive the bonds. ~i
To compel the treasurer TO receive
the bonds the action which has just
been issued before Judge Smith was
commenced. After the arguments had
been concluded, Judge Smith an
nounced that he would take the case
under advisement.

specsa, to the EVENING NEWS:

TRENTON, Feb. 10: Colonel
alexander R. Fordyce, former as
semblyman from MiddIesex county,
and now one of the leading spirits
In the New Jersey Peoples Lobby,
was at the State House today and
formally announced that he is con-
sidering the matter of being a candi-
date for Congress in the Third Con-
gressfonal District to succeed Ben
jamfn F. Howell. The announce
ment came as surprise, but many

Der his aggressive campaign for the

senator in Middlesex county in 1905.
congratulated him on his determine
ton.
Colonel Fordyce was interviewed
by the EVENING NEWS correspond
ent. To the question as to what led
to his decision to run for Congress he
said:
There is evidently considerable
opposition being developed, on the
part of the Middlesex county organi-
cation. to the denomination Of Mr..
Howell In the Third Congressional
District; the alleged objection being
that he has already had six terms in
the lower House, besides having been
surrogate of the county for a number
of years. There may be some force
to this contention.
1T is possible, therefore, that
rather than enter into a bitter contest
in his own county for denomination
he would prefer to retire, in which

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19:-Gover.
nor and Mrs. Fort and Senator
Everett Colby, of New Jersey, arrived
here today for a two days stay-the
men to talk national politics and the
Taft boom with President Roosevelt,
and Mrs. Fort to be guest of Mrs,
Roosevelt at a White House social
function.
The pilgrimage, especially as far
as the governor and Senator Colby
are concerned, is attracting much
attention among the political leaders.
Governor and Mrs. Fort will dine
tonight with President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. Tomorrow the governor
and Senator Colby will meet the
President and Secretary Taft and
other national administration leaders
for general discussion of the poll
tical situation in New Jersey and
throughout the country, particularly
so far as 1t applies to the Taft boom.
1t is common belief here that the
President is desirous of lining up
New Jersey in the Taft column, and
that to insure this he is willing to
see Governor Fort named for the
second place on the national ticket.
By giving Governor Fort an assur-
ance of the vice presidential nominal
ton the Taft boomers would have q
strong hold on the republican "regu-
lars" in New Jersey, and their invf-
tation of Senator Colby to the CAM
paign councils looks like bid for
support of the new idea" men. 1t Is
now practically assured that both
Governor Fort and his friends and
Senator Colby and the reform" ele-
ment will work for Taft.
Formal opening of the Taft boom
in New Jersey probably will be mark
ed at banquet to be given to the
secretary and Governor Fort March
23 by the Trenton Chamber of COM
merce. The Taft men have stanch
ally in the person of John w. Griggs,
who is likely to be one of the four
delegates at large to the republican
national convention. Mr.. Griggs is
an anti-Roosevelt man because he
does not approve of the Presidents
big stick" attacks on capital. He is
in favor of Taft as a man of conser-
vative methods and at the same time
vigorous policies.
The whole trend of New Jersey
politics at this time seems to be to-
ward Taft, but occasionally a dis
quieting incident occurs because of
an undercurrent of feeling against
Mr.. Roosevelt. This situation has
been somewhat aggravated by the
failure of the President to invite
either Senator Briggs or Senator
Kean to the conference with Messrs.
Fort and Colby.
1t may be merely a coincidence.
but 1t is announced that the same
evening Governor Fort and Senator
Colby are to dine and confer with
the President, Senator Briggs is to
entertain distinguished party at
the New Willard at dinner. Senator
Briggs guests will include three
presidential possibilities-Vice Pres
ident Fairbanks, Speaker Cannon
and Senator Foraker. The same
evening Senator Kean is to be din-
ner guest in another part of Wash
ington-with another party of politi-
cal leader

George F. Reynolds

George F. Reynolds, a democrat,
was elected president at an adjourn
ed meeting Of the Board of Health
last night, for the ensuing year. It
had been the intention to hold a gen.
eral election, but the naming of In
spector. deputy inspector and secre-
tary was laid over.
Mr.. Reynolds name was suggested
by Commissioner Kreielsheimer.
Commissioner Quick, of the republi-
can minority, nominated Victor w.
Main for another term, but the lat
ter declined. Mr.. Main has served
two years as president of the board.
1t became necessary to cast two sets
of ballots, for after the first 1t was
found that only three votes had been
last. In the second attempt, ma
jority was secured, four ballots being
cast.
President Reynolds took the floor
Immediately after his election. He
spoke well Of Ex-President Mains
work, and said that good share OF
work had been done the past year
and he sincerely hoped that he may
tread In the footsteps of his predeces-
s0r.
Three Recommendations.
He spoke of three matters which
the present board should attend to at
once. The taking over of milk IL
censes is important, and he suggest
ed that committee prepare an or
dinance taking that matter in con-
troll. The second matter referred to
was the plumbing code In this city,
which, he said, plumbers have dis
regarded up to the present time.
His final suggestion was that the
board do away with outhouses In
yards In all streets where sewers
have been laid.
Other Elections Laid Over.
In the attempt to elect a secretary,
Cortlandt e. Brewster was nominated
by Commissioner Main. Commission
or Kennedy stated that he wished to
make q motion that he be elected
pro tenn. He Later made q motion
that the matter be laid over for a
month,
DR.. j. L. Lund was nominated for
inspector by Commissioner Kant,
The ballots had been prepared and
were about to be cast when the pres
ent inspector, DR.. G.. w. Fithian,
showed copy of the law, stating
that a sanitary inspector must have
certificate from the State Board be-
fore he can be appointed by local
board. The book was handed to
President Reynolds, who read an alb
stract bearing upon the subject. DR..
Fithian said that he did not in any
way wish to interfere with the work
1ngs of the board, but such an elec-
tion would be unlawful.
Fithian Willing to Resign.
He said that although his term
does not expire until July he would
resign at any time for the accommo-
dation of the board. He said that
II the board thought that their work
could be better accomplished without
him, he was ready to withdraw, as
he understood 1t to be board of
politics."
A motion was passed that the elec-
tion of sanitary inspector be laid
over indefinitely.
