Change in the tie vote between Messrs.
Hesolz and Storey for member of the
legislature from the Twenty sixth Sem
atorial District. Tomorrow friday the
auditor of Emmons county will 90 70
Steele, the county seat Of Kidder, the SEN
ior earliest organizedl county Of the
district. and there. with the auditor of
that county. he will canvass the votes.
he law is silent a. TO which auditor
and sheriff shall then proceed in order
ing the new election II is understood,
however. that the two auditors will at
once. after the canvass, notify the
sheriffs Of the two counties that tie
exists. Whereupon the she,iffs will
jointly issue call for the supplemental
election. which canno, be set for a date
less than ten days from the date of the
call. There is whole lot Of unnecessary
and expensive work connected with a
tie of this kind, ard this is the first tie
OF legislative candidates that everoccuY-
red in the state or territory. The law
ought to be ammended so that as in
other cases of tie the person. tied
draw lots as to who shall fill the posi-
ton. This is the course taken where
county candidates are tied. and the
Record sees no reason why different
course should be taken with legislative
candidates.

had very few settlers and a small
amount Of taxable property other
than railroad land. The bill was
loosely drawn, making no provision
for the initiative by.wllich the boards
OF county commissioners OF the two
counties should meet and arrange for
the payment o! the amount named in
