ATTACK VALIDITY OF
LAST CITY ELECTION

Robert G.. Harman and Walter Fl.
Hayes in the Court of General Ses-
sions today attacked the legality OF the
last city election. At that election
when Coleman Hunter, an east side
voter went to the polls to vote he
found that some one had imperson-
ated him and voted on his name. 1t
was then charged that Thomas Fitz-
simmons was the man who imperson-
nted Hunter Fitzsimmons was arrest
ed and the grand jury indicted him.
The indictment was attacked on two
reasons, first that the law of registra-
tion applies to the general and not the
municipal election; second that no
valid election was held in Wilmington
in 1911
Attorney General Andrew C. Gray
and City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings
appeared for the State.
Mr. Harman said that since 1907,
when the new constitution went into
effect, no legal city elections have
been held, IL will be a public bless
ing for the court to take up this ques-
ton and give a decision as to the
validity of our municipal elections,
he said. 1t has been customary for
the Clerk Of the Peace to keep the
general election registration books.
That official furnishs a copy of the
names of the registered voters to be
used at the city election. Should
there be venal Clerk Of the Peace
who would pad the books or omit
names, Mr.. Harnan said, there is no
way Of reaching him for there is no
penalty. II has been common knowl-
edge with lawyers and politicians
since 1898 that no valid election has
been held by the city, he argued.
He claimed that there is no law
providing for registration books at the
city election. The registration books
have been turned over by the election
officers at the general election to the
! Clerk of the Peace The city has been
I fortunate that up to the present time
no real trouble has arisen. The muni-
I, cipal election law does not cover i'm
personation of voters.
\ For years Mr.. Harman said he has
tried to have this question argued.

turned out to hear him all along the

Like the Kansas, the Iowa farmers
seemed to want to hear what the

There was no expression Of approval

dent found in Iowa was acute.

was much truth in the statements of
Mr.. Harman. During the recent
Legislature he prepared a bill cover
ing the registration law. but that bill
received but little consideration from
the Legislature. He did not agree
with Mr. Harman that because the
registration books were in possession
of the Clerk of the Peace there is no
law which says no legal election can
be held.
There is nothing in the law to show
that the persons who held the city
election could not obtain the names
of registered voters who are entitled
to vote at such city election, Nc
Hastings said. These books are al
ways open for inspection.
Chief Justice Pennewill asked MI.
Harman How do We know the per-
sons who voted at the recent city cleo
ton or the previous election were
not registered voters?"
Mr.. Harman reiterated his state
ment that the books we're not i'm evil
dence showing the registered voters.
General Gray said City
Solicitor Hastings took very strongly

ton. There is no question raised
here that the law is invalid by per-
sons voting who we're not registered.
The inspectors of the elections are
welcome to take the copy Of the reg
istration lists of voters from the De-
partment of Elections or take the
copies themselves. The only require-
ment is that the only persons to vote
are those registered at the previous
general election.
Mr.. Hayes claimed that all laws re-
garding the municipal elections were
superseded by the 1898 law. This in
dictment charges the defendant with
impersonating Coleman Hunter. a
duly registered voter. The election
officers and noone else can now not
could then say Coleman Hunter was
qualified voter Mr.. Hayes argued
that there is no law to provide reg
istration books at municipal elec.
ton.
