ELECTION CONTESTED.
Defeated North Dakota Candidate
Plans Test on Second Choice,

Mandan. - Senator Leslie Simpson
Of Dickinson, defeated by P. D. Norton
for the Republican congressional nom
ination in the Third district, probably
will start contest on the ground that
second choice votes, which are re.
pponsible for his defeat, are not valid,
and that the law providing for them.
Is unconstitutional.
On the face of the returns on first
thoice votes, Mr.. Simpson has q
plurality in the district over Norton
of 1872 votes. The second choice votes.
however, show Norton is the leader by
400 or 500.
The second choice law was passed
by the Legislature Of 1911, and this
was the first election in which it had
been effective. The result in the
Third congressional district was the
,nly one shifted by the second choice
ballots, hence that district affords the
only opportunity for test of the mea-
sure.
Just before the election, the court
ruled that it was not mandatory that
voters cast both the first and second
choice ballots. Up to that time, it
was understood that the two ballots
had to be marked. That feature will
enter into the proposed contest.
