DOES BLACK PENCIL
RECORD The VOTE?
Loser In Contest May Be Out Between
500 and 1000 Dollars-Taking of
Dispositions Will Begin in Lake Su-
erior Court on Monday Of Next
Week.

The question as to whether black
pencil honestly records the vote of q
citizen when the precinct election of
ficiaIs run out of blue pencils will be
an interesting question which will be
decided as u result of the decision of
Sam AbIeman, the recent candidate, for
the office of township trustee, to con-
test the election of John C. Becker, his
opponent.
The interesting fact further develops
that the contest will cost the loser be-
tween $500 and $1,000, and in the event
of the default of payment on the part
of the loser will fall upon the county.

county election commissioners, which

"a. commissioner to take the evidence by
deposition and submit 1t to the board
for its consideration.
The first evidence which will be SUBJ
nitted to the board will be that of the
contestant, Sam Ableman. If the depo-
sitions he submits are sufficient to
make a prima facie case then Mr.
Meeker will be asked to prepare his de-
positions and present them to the
board
The board will then go over the evil
| dence and will decide whether Mr.
Ableman was deliberately counted out
as he claims he was. Attorney Schot-
tier, assisted by Attorney D. J. Moran
/ will represent Mr.. Ableman, and Attor-
ney Johannes Kope1ke and Attorney
LeGrand T. Meyer will represent Mr.
| Becker.
The taking of the dispositions will be-
| gin next Monday in the Lake superior

| facts about the alleged crookedness
of election officials is expected to come
to light
Ableman's Attorneys Confident.
Mr.. Ableman's attorneys feel conf.
| dent that they will be able to make
out a strong case in his favor, bu
they will know more about that wher
the evidence begins to materialize il
the form of dispositions next Monday.
Last Tuesday the attorneys for Mr.

HON. Ed. SIMON
At indianapolis
Hammond Man At The Cap
ital To See About His
Election Contest
STATE IS INTERESTED IN LAKE
Contestant Says That He Will Have
the Evidence When the
Time Comes.

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 27.-Edward
Simon of Hammond. who was the
den ecratic candidate for representative
in Lake county was in the city yes
terday in conference with members of
the democratic state committee and
with Henry Seyfried, who has been as
sisting the democratic candidates in
Marion county in their election con-
tests. Mr.. SIMON was discussing the
question of evidence to be presented
from Lake county when the cases of
democratic candidates for state offices
come before the legislature. The
state democratic organization is great
ly interested in the Lake county situa-
tion, because the evidence as to fraud
in Lake county and other counties In
the nothern part of the state will have
an important bearing on the contests
which involve the places of democratic
candidates for state offices.
Mr.. Simon is contesting the place OF
E. w. Wickey of East Chicago, the
republican candidate for representa-
tive from Lake county, who was de-
clared elected. The count showed that
Wickey had been elected by about Loco
votes and the democrats believe there
will be evidence of fraud sufficient tc
change the results and cause Simon tC
be seated.
Evidence When Time Comes.
I'VE shall have the evidence wher
the time comes said Simon. ''O1
course, don't care to have the place
in the legislature unless 1 can show
that I am entitled to 1t. 1 do not couni
on being seated merely because tn,
democrats have the majority in tn,
house. But If I can present evidence
which shows that / was elected Ger
tainly shall try to get the place"
Mr.. Simon declares that condition.
| in Lake county We're disgracefuI OF
election day. The foreign vote In tn,
northern part Of the state has been tn,
direct cause of republican victory, h,
declares, for two or three years ant
he believes the time has come whel
something must be done to insure fair
ness in elections there.
! The democratic state committee ha
| the same Idea and it is understood tn
committee will cooperate fully wit
Simon in getting evidence of fraud #
Lake county. 1t is estimated by tn
state committee that in two or thre
northern counties of the state an ag
gregate of 1000 to 5000 illegal vote
were cast by foreigners 1t is charg
| ed that boys not more than eightee
years old voted and that in some case
one man voted two or three times.

THE LEAP YEAR BALL
Attended BY a Large CrOwd-An Event
That the Boys will Long
Remember

Saturday February, %, 1908 will
not soon be forgotten by the young
men of Leavenworth. The young
ladies of the town gave dance in the
opera house on that date and betrayed
all expenses. Some of the boys got a
lesson in courtesy that ought to make
an impression on them. In the first
place the young ladies were careful
that every young man should have an
escort and that he should be treated
very deferentially. In other words the
young ladies treated the boys as they
would themselves be treated.
One of the ball room regulations
provided fine for leaving the room.
Just how many of the young men were
fined for violating this rule We have
not been told, it is more than likely,
though that some Of them could not
resist the temptation TO go out between
acts after drink. It may only have
been water but the ladies say that some
men require more water for drinking
than ablutionary purposes.
However this may be the gentlemen
attendants at the ball have assured US
that it surpassed all previous balls given
in the past four years, than which we
could not expect them to say less.
The supper provided by Mrs. Morri-
son came in for full share Of the
favorable comment that was made on
the affair.
