companies of coast artillery, having
abolished the infantry and field ar

W|CKENBURG 10 HAVE
ANOTHER ELECTION
Judge Kent Decides the Recent One
Was Void.

Wickenburg will have to hold an
other election for the choice Of NUM-
cipal officials, the election recently
held, being declared yesterday by
Judge Kent to be void The decision
was rendered in the contest proceed
ings begun by c. w. Platt one of the
defeated democratic candidates against
Harry Cowell, mayor elect and other
officers elect.
There were two chief allegations OF
the complaint. one was that before
the election Hon. J. G. Reed, the in
spector distributed fourteen official
ballots throughout the town when il
was found that there were no sample
ballots printed for such distribution
The other allegation was that about
sixteen persons who We're not residents
of the corporate limits had been al
lowed to vote.
Most of the voters had been voting
for years at Wickenburg at general
elections but it vas. said that none OF
them resided inside the recently form
ed corporation. 1t was decided by the
election board that they were entitled
to vote at the municipal election by
reason of their long association with
Wickenburg as a polling place.
II was this point that the contest
ants were especially DESTROYS should
be settled but it was not reached for
on the showing that there had been a
distribution of official ballots previous
to the election, Judge Kent declared
the election to be void.
George p. Billiard appearing for the
contestants said that he would like to
have a ruling on that point for il it
should appear that such distribution
was allowable it would give the dem
ocrats throughout the county an i'm
mense leverage inasmuch as the cleo
tiCn boards are democratic.

CUSTOMERS READILY
RESPONDING.

Many people are wanting To help the
contestants with their sales slips and
are only waiting to be asked. They
come to the Boston store, make their
purchases and go away. No contestant
has told them that she wants their
sales slips. These people have never
been approached by. a contestant, who
would Immediately be rewarded for the
asking. 1t only goes 70 show that votes
are available if sought-for. Some few
may approach you upon their Initiative
and tender you the votes secured by
their sales slips, but not everyone will
do this Some people like to be asked
for these things, and you can't consist

They want the contestants to know
that they are helping her and they
are anxious to help the one who is
helping herself.
