Contestants Drop Their Cases
in Barre Town Election
EARLE GIVES HIS REASONS
Says He Believes Outcome Would Have
Been That Legislature Would Have
Declared No Election, But Can't
Afford to Continue Contest.

There will be no contest for the scat
OF William +. Fisk Of Barre Town in
the coming legislature This was as
sured to-day, when notice was given Of
the withdrawal OF William Earle's petit
tion, followed by statement that the
contest Of DIR. C. n. Barber would be
dropped Mr.. Fisk was elected on the
tenth ballot, and Mr. Earle claimed the
election on that ballot taking the ground
that the South Barre vote should be
thrown out. because the ballot box there
was taken home at night and kept open
till 10 the following morning. while the
boxes in the other two precincts were
closed DR.. Barber claimed the election
on the fourth ballot on similar grounds
in the case Of the Graniteyille ballot
box.
The contest promised to be warm
one, as well as protracted. One witness
was heard at the opening session before
Justice II. W. Scott yesterday, when
adjournment was taken TO this after
noon. Meanwhile events happened thick
and fast, 50 that the entire proceedings
were declared off to-day.
IN explaining his position. Mr. Earle.
the Socialist candidate, stated that he
felt the whole election was unjust and
illegal and that II the GranitevilIc pre-
cinct, where his strength lay, had been
given the opportunity to vote on the last
ballot that the Republican officials at
the South Barre precinct gave to Mr..
fisk's supporters he lEarlel would have
been elected
Moreover, he thinks that II he should
press the case the final outcome would
be that the legislature would throw out
the whole ballot and declare no one
elected. lie thinks that would be Justice

However, Afr. Earle feels that the ex-

assistance to carry the case through, he
does not feel ike calling on his friends
to pay the bills.
Therefore. he, through his attorney,
s. Holiister Jackson, served notice on
Mr. Fisk last night OF his withdrawal
from the contest. and he also notified
