 "The statement made by Strong and Davidson that tecncates should not be sufficient for throwing the vote in certain precincts sounds we'll but the sentiment of too recent birth to carry much weight These caes sufficient to the board throw votes two but they not Wickeram then Strong and Davidson claim the board has judicial powers Admitting this, it is still true that there two laws governing the election of delegate in Alaska these must prevail Violation of these laws must be taken of by the board and illegal votes This for canvassng board to whom duplicate returns are sent, could as well tabulae and announce the totals
