WRITE W FOR NJ;
NOMINATION LOST
Republican Candidate DiSpIaces
Democrat on Bourbon Ticket
by Error in Initial

Forty-one voters in the recent pri-
maries, writing wv" where they
should have written M" have de-
prived M. R. Pendleton, temporarily,
at least, of the Democratic nomina-
ton for county superintendent OF
schools.
Mark Keppel, Republican nominee.
has been certified as the Democratic
nominee, also, as a result of confusion
on the part of two score voters as to
Pendleton's initials.
The Democratic county central COM
mittee will ask a writ of mandamus
to compeb the supervisors and the
county clerk to place the name of M.
r. Pendleton on the official ballot as
the Democratic nominee.
Two hundred and fifty-two voters
who gave their affiliation as Demo-
cratic, wrote in the name of Mark
Keppel on their ballot. Pendleton re-
ceiVed 226 votes under his correct
name, and Al votes under the name
wv" r. Pendleton. The supervisors
threw out the Al votes, leaving him
226, and declared Keppel the Demo-
cratic nominee.
AS soon as the Democratic county
central committee learned the action
taken preparations were made to go
into the courts. A writ of mandamus
Will be asked on the ground lnat dil
the votes cast for Pendleton should be
counted for him, regardless of the err
ror made by Al voters in writing his
initials.
The supervisors yesterday completed
it's direction of the official canvass of
the votes cast in the primary election
of August 16. Some tie votes of one
or two ballots each for candidates on
the Socialist and Prohibitionist tic
kets for nominations for the offices of
constable in the outlying districts
were noted and the recipients of such
ballots have been notified to appear
before the supervisors at their next
meeting, September 6, to draw lots for
the nominations, according to law.
Just what nature the drawing of
lots will take has not yet been deter
mined 1t may be by the toss Of a
coin or some other simple expedient
satisfactory to the candidates.
According to law, the canvass of the
vote cast at the primaries had to be
completed by the supervisors in six
teen days. Only twelve days were re-
quired in the recount just ended.
