The senate in the committee of the
whole recommended for passage the
bill of Senator Howe of Dickinson,
designed to prevent another such a
Jangle as occurred over rejected bal
lots in the recent Hodges-Capper gov

that county commissioners and city
canvassing boards should open and
pass upon all ballots recessed by the
election boards. In the governor fight
last fall it was asserted by the Cap
per forces that at least 5000 ballots
had been thrown out by election
boards because the voter marked in
the circle and square in the same
column. Capper sought unsuccessful
ly by mandamus proceedings in the
supreme court to compel these reject
ed ballots to be counted by the
county commissioners. Howe's bill
makes their checking over by the
canvassing boards compulsory.
