Some people concluded that Wise
was joking, for they couldn't figure
how he could be in favor Of a plan
that viii do away with q good deal Of
election activity. Nevertheless Wise
was not joking. He said then that
w. C. Achi would be found also. III
favor Of the esh0rt-ballot' and Achi
today confirmed the story completely
and further added that within few
days he viii finish the draft Of CON-
plete charter on which he is now at
work
Under the plan which Achi proposes,
the scity fathers" will be considerably
rednced from their present number
He would have four department heads
or commissioners and q mayor The
mayor viii be chairman Of the board
but VIII not have as much power as
is nov vested in the city executive.
He viii. besides being the executive
officer head the de0artments or chari-

In the absence OF the mayor the

to Mr. Achi's plans The ciff func.

RUTLAND RECOUNT row
Trying to Get More Trouble Out of
March Election.


Rutland, May 27-There is a move
ment under way by the Square Deal
club and other citizens to secure
recount of the votes cast in this city
at the March election, and petitions
have been sent to Acknowledgement
II. G. Barber OF Brattleboro and
States Attorney C. V. Poulin of this
city asking that these officials con-
duet an investigation into alleged ir-
reguIarities. Anidavits in detail Of
some of these Irregularities are in
cluded in the petitions. These state
meuts are sworn to by c. A. Mat
thews, c. A. Brown and Frank +. Pts
tole before e. v. Ross, notary pub
lie The following allegations are III
cluded in the petitions:
q. That while 2.S2S men voted on
the license question only 2,794 votes
were reported as counted, making a
Joss of 81 votes.
"2. That in ward seven two votes
for mayor we're counted and reported
more than the official records show
voted for all candidates for the Office
"3. That in some cases men with
out warrant OF law counted the bal
lots and men whose duties required
to count were not allowed TO do so.
"A. That some of the inspectors of
election, disregarding their oath and
the duties Of their office, often left
the ballot boxes and worked at get
ting votes for candidates and for Ii.
censc
%. That the license votes in ward
seven were counted by the inspec-
tors and the vote declared 1863 yes
and so no, and certain inspector
put these ballots in his pocket which
at the time contained unused license
ballots, and after a discussion lasting
five or ten minutes, in which the ac.
curacy of the count was challenged,
said inspector took the license bal.
lots out of his pocket and counted
them, claiming there were 40 yes
ballots That while a number of the
ballots we're verified by other officials
no one looked at the markings. and
another inspector counted the bundle
of no votes and said that there were
81, yet the report of the city clerk
shows so no votes That the vote
for one Of the aldermen in ward
seven was announced as IS and so re
ported to the city clerk while the
report of the ward clerk of said ward
has since been changed to 6S.
and we would respectfully re-
quest:
That you bring quo warranto or
other proper proceedings against the
liquor commissioners OF said city OF
Rutland to test the right OF said com.
missioners to their office:
THAT you make inquisition in the
way provided by law to determine
the parties guilty of crime and wrong
doing in the conduct of said election
and endeayor to punish them there
TO-.
Wherefore, we respectfully re-
quest that you shall take such ac-
tion as shall prove said alleged H.
censes to be legal and enforce a com
pliance with the law and also request
. recount Of the votes cast at said
election
