The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1912-11-01
Why I am Stiff a Candidate

The voters of Mclean county know
that l was candidate for State Re-
preventative at the June Primaries.
Most of you know that, according to
the finding of the canvassing board l
was one vote behind my nearest op-
ponent, Mr.. j. T. Hoge. In looking up
the matter, l found that mistakes had
been made in totaling up the votes in
some precincts, and that if the votes
had been correctly counted would have
received the nomination. l was 'ad-
vised by friends to take the matter to
court and have recount of the votes
in said precincts which seemed to be in
error. l followed the advice of my
friends and proved in court that l had
more votes than my opponent and tho
court ordered that my name be placed
upon the ballot. My opponent appealed
to the supreme court and won out on
the grounds that the notice was not
served on him in time. We quote here
part of the decision as handed down
by the supreme court as follows:
''The portion of such Primary Ell
ection law relative to contests is one of
the most vague and indefinite statutes
we have ever been called upon to con-
strue. And the exact intention of the
legislature will correct and put into in
telligent language this portion of said
statute to the citizens as we'll as the
courts may not be left in doubt as to
they say it is left largely to inferences
and conjecture, or in other words they
merely had to make guess at it, and
it was only natural that they guessed
in favor of their brother attorney.
Had the supreme court really
desired to find the will of the legislature
they should have read first paragraph
of this act and they would have learned
that the intention of the legislature
was that the majority vote should be
final. The article reads as follows:
cit is the intention of this act to re-
form the methods by which political
parties shall make nominations of can
didates for all public officers by popular
vote. It shall be literally construed so
that the real will of the electors may
not be defeated by any informality or
failure to comply with all provisions of
law in respect to either the giving of
the notice or the conduct of the pri-
mary or certify the result thereof"
advocated the Initiative, the Re-
ferendum, and the Recall long before
either Roosevelt or LaFollette and that
means that I advocate majority rule.
There are people who do not care about
the majority or the real wish of the
voters, and if Hoge Is one of them, it
is not strange that he carried the case
\ to supreme court, even after it was pro-
ven that I had the majority of the votes,
for in that court the common people
often gets it in the neck.
My friends have advised me to run
independent and use stickers and have
consented to make the race, and sin
1 cerely hope that the voters Of Mclean
county will prove that the majority
shall rule.
! Hoping that you will use the sticker
bearing my name and tell your neigh
Ebors and friends to do the same ! beg

himself helped to give them out from
the train.
The nominee covered a variety OF
