ond precinct of the Tenth ward and rejected
seven democratic votes which had been
counted and which were open to the same
objection as the Crosby ballots.
Two complications may come up in the
case, though it is not known yet that the
board or Brewer will raise them. Accord
Ing to a member OF the board many Of the
ballots that were unsigned by either a
Judge or a clerk were thrown out in addi-
ton to the three complained Of. In case
the mandamus issues It may be necessary
for the board to count these ballots as we'll
as the three complained of and they might
affect the result.
Another question which may be raised in
the case is whether or not ballots which
are signed by only one Judge OF clerk can
be counted. In case it should be decided
such votes are illegal Dundee precinct
would have to be thrown out bodily, and
az Crosby had a majority OF 80 In this pre-
cinct IT would be disastrous to him. Mr..
Murdoch, Brewers attorney, said he did
not know whether he would raise that
question or not.
Text OF the Decision.
The decision Of the board was presented
in writing as follows:
In the matter of the request OF Con-
testant Crosby coming on for hearing upon
the counting Of three certain ballots not
being endorsed as provided by law by either
a Judge or a clerk of election and upon
due consideration thereof, IL Is the opinion
OF the board that the former ruling Of
the board should be adhered to, and the
ballots be not counted, for the following
reasons:
First-That section 9 of the primary law
provides that the signatures of at least one
Judge and one clerk Of election should APP
pear on the back OF the ballot.
S~econd-That II appears by section IS OF
primary law that upon any point upon
which the primary law shoulG be de
election laws OF the state should control.
Third-That section Isl of the general
election law provides that ballots not prop
erly endorsed by two judges should not be
counted. This provision, however. is mOdi-
fled by section 3 OF the primary law which
the name Of a judge or clerk endorsed on
the back thereof.
~Fourth-That paragraph 3. section 1853 OF
the general election law, provides that bal
lots shall be so folded by the %elector as
to expose on the back thereof the en-
dorsements OF the names or the judges OF
election.
Fifth-The county attorney Of Douglas
county has advised this board that bal
lots not endorsed as above provided for are
illegal.
sixth-The board. having on counting the
ballots OF all the precincts In Dougla
county, uniformly held that ballots not en-
dorsed by at least one Judge or clerk OF
the election board should not be counted.
II is therefore the judgment of this board
that said request 10 count the said three
ballots be denied and the same not counted.
