To Contest County Commissioner
Jackson's Seat

On Monday Of this week Mr.. George L.
l.. Hess, by his attorneys Albert Con-
stable, of Elkton, and Marbury, Gosnell
and Williams, of baltimore, filed with
the Circuit Court for Cecil County his
petition to the Honorable Court that he
Ohe petitioner )may be declared duly
elected to the office of County Commits
sioner OF Cecil county for the Long Term.
Mr.. Hess bases his petition on the ground
)f Mr.. E. W. Jackson (the present incum
Jent having been ineligible TO election
by virtue of the fact that both he and
Mr.. Reynolds are from the same Com
missioner District, Mr.. Jackson being
from the Seventh and Mr.. Reynolds from
the SIXTH which two districts, with the
Eighth, constitute the Third Commis-
s.oners District The Second Commits
sioner District is composed of the Fourth,
Fifth and Ninth Districts in one of which
tthe Fourth Mr.. Hess resides. The pc
titloner contends that Chapter 6, Acts
OF 1910, provides that each Commissioner
y D.strict shall have one and only one rep
resentative on the Board of County Com
!oners, and that the provisions of
that Act are mandatory. 1he petitioner
therefore contends that r. Wilmer Jack
son wa snot entitled to become and did
lot become candidate for the said Of
iIe of County Commissioners for the
.ong term and is not entitled to be in
stalled in or to hold said office. That
your petitioner having received the high
est number of votes OF any candidate
from the Second Commissioner District,
from which the Commissioner for the
said long term of four years was to be
elected at said election, was duly elected
to the same and is entltled to fill said
)G' ce."
The petitioner further recites that L.
Wilmer Jackson has been duly notified
of the intention to contest his election
and that he be required to answer the
petition.

Dupont Withdraws Swain

President Taft has recalled the name
of Cornelius p Swain, recently nomi-
mated to be U. S. Marshall for Delaware.
The Presidents action was upon the re-
quest of U. 6. Senator DUPONT, who had
originally secured Swains nomination.
The nomination was however violently
opposed by many Delawareans, and the
Senate Committee, in hearing objections
to Swains confirmation. was treated to
some pretty rotten aspects of Della
ware politics wherein it looked as if
Senator duPont's name, If not his Seua-
torial seat, were likely to be seriously
compromised. Hence the withdrawal OF
Swain.
