PEOPLE GAIN DECIDED VICTORY
IN CONTEST
BY DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT
Matter Is Fully Reviewed In Decision
Handed Down Monday By
Highest Tribunal

The opinion in the case of j. Il.
Webb ct al. VS.. j. H. Bowden ct
al, was handed down by the Su-
preme court Monday, in which
the court held that the contest
ants had a right to inspect the
poll books of the county seat
election, and to have a reasonable
time in which to do so. And the
court also held that the circuit
Judge in term time could order
the poll books brought in by the
election commissioners and given
into the custody of the clerk of
the court or any other custodian
he might designate. The court
further held that the circuit
Judge in vacation could not take
the custody of the poll books from
the election judges, the court
having this authority only in
term time.
The Supreme court also holds
that the poll books are public
records, subject to inspection the
same as any other record held by
a public officer.
The effect of this decision is to
give the contestants in the county
seat contest the right to inspect
the poll books and get their case
ready for trial without unneces-
sary delay.
If the contestees had been up
held in their contention the effect
of the decision would have been
to put off the inspection. of the
records until the circuit court
convened, thus delaying the case
that much.
The contestees, in their brief,
say that the contestants are only
fishing for evidence, and the Su-
preme court, in calling attention
to this, says: 1t is said here, in
argument, that the inspection of
the poll books is mere fishing
expedition, which Sneither the
court nor the judge could give
any aid to. That is not a correct
Characterization of the proceed
ings, for the contest is a bona
fide one, so far as anything to
the contrary appears, and there
is an allegation of fraud in the
election. An inspection of the
records is indispensable in con-
test, for they are presumptively
correct until overturned by evil

correct"
And after quoting former de-
cisions, the court further says:
Contestants are entitled to
see the poll books, and to have
the election commissioners pro-
duce them as evidence, so that
the presumption of their correct
ness may be overcome by other
testimony 1t was within the
power, therefore, of the circuit
judge to order the production of
the poll books to be used as evil
dence in the case, and the com
missioners have no legal right to
denv the contestants the privil-
eye of inspecting those records. :"
1t will be remembered that J.
H. Webb ct al, after filing their
contest, following the county
seat election of August 18th,
asked the county court, in term
time, for an order requiring the
election commissioners to bring
in the poll books of the election
mentioned in the petition ; this
County Judge B'Shers refused
to do, but made an order direct
ing the judges at the precincts
contested to bring in and file
with the clerk of the county
court the copies of the poll books
preserved by them.
This order was complied with
by the judges at all the precincts
except McNab, Stephens school
house, four boxes in DeRoan
twp. and Union and McCaskill.
The judges at these boxes re-
ported that the copy of the poll
books preserved by them had
been lost or destroyed and could
not be produced. After the fail
ure of the judges in these pre-
cincts to deliver the poll books,
another effort was made to get
Judge B'Shers to order the cleo
ton commissioners to bring in
the books, and he again refused,
and as the poll books that were
''lost or DESTROYED" just happen
ed (?) to be the books especially
wanted, the matter was carried
to the circuit Judge and thence
to the Supreme court.
The people of the county have
thus gained a point in the contest
which will help them in prepar-
ing their case for trial.
