Meanwhile every thing was cut and dried so far as the and Judge Banks was well assured that his statement would not be talk en seriously by the little coterie com nrising the Republican ring in Fair field.
 Judge Banks was also renoninated For Judge of Probate. There were no more important offices and SO the oth- CT party members were given a chance at the nominations for Justice of the Peace.
 The Democratic caucus was called Chairman H. R. Ellwood, First Select man Charles Fox was chosen chair which he prophesied that the Fair field Democrats would make a clean sweep of the Republican ring which has so long decorated the neck of the unfortunate old town.

CAREFUL HOW YOU MARK YOUR AUSTRALIAN BALLOT

Taking a ruling in strict conformity with the law. Judge William H. Will Hams in the Superior court, yesterday afternoon threw out s4 of the 760 bal lots cast at the last election in the t6swn of Fairfield. This does not af- feet the result of the election but will have an important bearing on the fu- tlare use of the Australian ballot and the voters who have occasion to use this ballot should give careful heed.
 The Australian ballot was used at the polls for the first tine.3 Of the number thrown out 34 were not dis puted by the contestants as there were no marks upon them to indicate the choice of the voter The other fifty were thrown out by the court because of various digressions from the law.
 double crossed. others had cross in each circle, others were marked with the word 'fYes" another was marked in ink whereas the law says pencil; i; another thrown out as the voter has made large criss cross through the full Republican list, others made circles in the squares opposite each name, others voted for two candidates for the same office. others voted for candidates on the ticket for one of fee, whereas they were candidates for another office. These and other .pniIs" confronted the court. who ru1- sa that all must be thrown out. The o6anters could have come to de- cisiOn on a number of the ballots but they put the matter up to the. court for a ruling The decision will have considerable bearing on the next Slec- ton. making it quite simple for mod orators to make their rulings.
 The recent recount did not bring about any changes in the officers se- lected Charles s. Fox as the returns on election night showed, being re- turned as first seleetman. Following is the result of the recount:
 For first selectnan-Fox 345: Rowe 335. Fox ma Jority 10.
 For second se1ectrnan-Lobde dell 374; Brothwe1l 30a- Lobden's majority T.
 The action came before the court at the request of MT. BrothweH and seconded by other sefectnaen It was noted after the election that there was Q number of ballots missing. Yes terday's recount showed that A split ballots had not been counted for sec ofid seIectnlan. The recount showed that MT. Brothwe11 secured 22 votes and MT. BobdeH A. MT. Rrowe did not gain enough to wipe out MT. F'ox's lead, the latter still continuing as first se1ectman.
