Price of Ventura, Cal, has purchased 800 acres on Block 86. Mir. Price so- journed for eight days ill the val ley recently and examined the project thoroughly in the company of Mir. Wm. H. Cannon, also of Ventura. Both gentleman hurried back to Ventura to attend 10 their bean and walnut harvest.
 The road work recently inaug. urated by the company has resulted so far in the clearing and leyeling of 33 kilometers of roads in the delta. It is now possible to go from Ontagota to Yaqui by motor in 40 minutes, whereas the ancient six-mule power carruaies consumed at least three hours on the same trip. The eighteen mile drive from ESperanza to Ontagota is now le- ing put in first class shape. mud- holes filled up, stumps removed and all unnecessary kinks straight ened out.

Hon NATHAN Il. SIMPSON Of
Hartford. who has waged an az
gressive campaign for the Office
of auditor general, was defeated
by Hon. O. b. Fuller of the
upper peninsula in the state
convention Tuesday. The con
test for uditor general was the
only real fight of the convention.
The first ballot stood, Simpson,
321, Palmer, 800, Fuller, 287,
and everything looked fine for
Van Buren's candidate On the
second ballot Jackson county
changed its % votes from Simp-
son TO Fuller, and the vote stood,
Fuller, 3lS. Simpson, 800, Palm

a stampede for Fuller, and he
was nominated before the roll
call was completed. Mr.. Simp-
son proved good loser, con-

that the provision for recount
is inefficient and does not afford
opportunity for correction of
possible fraud. The courL dis
poses Of this very briefly by stat
ing that the law would be con-
stitutiOnal even if it contained
no provision whatever for re-
count.
Justice McAlvay, in his dis
senting opinion, holds that the
enrolment is the proper basis for
judging of the correctness of the
votes and that the board has au-
thority to compare the votes Of
the contested precincts with the
enrolment of votes therein.

Warner Wins.

The supreme court, in an opin-
ion in which all the justices ex-
cept Justice McAlvay were
agreed, sustained the position
taken by Governor Warner and
his counsel in every particular.
The court holds that the state
canvassing board cannot 60 back
of the returns; that the only au-
thority it has in event of con-
test Is to recount the votes
make another connt, as the court
puts 1t; that the board has no
right to attempt correction of
the returns by an examination
of the enrolment books; that it
cannot draw out ballots from the
boxes except where there is an
excess In number as shown by
the poll list. In short, the court
holds that the state canvassing
board has no judicial authority.
but that it is clothed with minis.
terial power only, and can only
do what the inspectors of cleo.
ton are required to do, correct
ly count the votes. If mistakes
are found, the board has au.
thorlty to correct them, Just as
the board Of county canvassers
may do in cases of contest before
them. The court holds that any
other view would amount to a
notification of the statute. as il
would be a physical impossibility
to compare the enrolment with
the vote throughout the state
and finish the work before the
date of the general election. In
this connection the court uses

The Supreme Courts Decision.

IT is almost inconceivable that
the supreme court could have ar
rived at any other conclusion
than they did in regard to the re-.
count of the gubernatorial vote
now in progress before the state
canvassing board, unless they
had decided the entire law to be
invalid on the ground Of uncon-
stitutionality. Any other decis-
ion would have rendered it prac-
tically impossible for any name
to have been printed at the head
of the ticket and would have
nullitied the statute and placed
it in the power Of any candidate
to defeat the choice of the people
by simply alleging fraud and de,
handing a recount and a compar.
ison of the vote with the enroll.
ment books.
When the first returns were
received from the cities and pop
ulous centers of the state and
the indications were that Mr..
Bradley had been nominated,
Gov Warner very properly an.
nounced that he was ready tc
accept the verdict of the people
and that he would be found
actively supporting the ticket
This was the proper attitude tc
be taken by a defeated candidate
and indicated that the governor
could and would be good
loser, and when later and more
complete returns were received,
DR.. Bradley, at first, assumed a
similar attitude and publicly pro
claimed that ne did not desire

and should not demand recount.
But the genial doctor fell into
the hands OTTO put very mildly
ill advised friends, who APP
peared more anxious to defeat
Warner than to win a republican
victory, and a recount was de
manded, and not only a recount
but a judicial investigation that
must necessarily have taken
more time than there was be-
tween the meeting of the state
canvaSsers and the November
election and which, without
doubt, had not the court decided
against the demand, would have
resulted in the election of a dem
ocrat governor and perhaps,
have jeopardized the entire state
ticket.
And as an ostenSible basis for
such demand it was alleged that
fraud had been committed in the
rural precincts This if true
was, to say the least, something
out of the usual course. Elect
ion frauds are usually to be found
in the cities, if anywhere, and
not in the country. But War
ner's strength was with the farm
ers and others outside the popu-
lous centers, hence this singular
charge of rural fraud.
AS a matter of course, if Brad
ley was TO have a recount in
Warmers territory, the governor
could do no less than have an
investigation in Bradley's
strongholds, in which latter
places there was much more like
ly to be found mistakes and
fraud.
The True Northerner, pursu-
ing its usual course of treating
all candidates fairly, did not es-
pouse the cause of either one of
the gubernatorial candidates,
but it is no secret that it pre-
ferred Dr.. Bradley to Governor
Warner. Nevertheless, we be-
lieve that it was a mistake for
Bradley and his friends to make
the demands they did, and their
actions certainly tended in the
direction Of republican disaster
We believe that it would have
been to the interest of the people
at large and of the republican
party had Mr.. Bradley submit.
ted gracefully to his defeat, in
stead of yielding himself to the
manipulation and advice of mis-
guided or pretended friends who
cared little for Bradley's success,
but much for Warmers defeat.
