IN THEIR KEEPING

If the figures do not lie Delegate Wick

 ton of doubt. He leads b. forty-two
 votes. according to the official returns of
 the Territorial CanyassiDg board. This count
 Is exclusive Of the Utica precinct. in the
 Second Division, which gave Wickersham a
 majority Of five votes and four small pre-
 cncts in the Fourth Division, where SuIzer
 led by twenty votes. or course there were
 many Irregularities in the conduct Of the re-

 voters intent and issue the certificate Og cleo

 the majority. regardless Of the fact that he
 does not share the same political belief as do
 the Democratic federal office holders who are sitting as judges in the case. These men
 have a sworn duty Co perform. and We have
 every confidence that they will be true to
 tne trust imposed in them notwithstanding
 the fact that few Of the political leaders
 or the Territory gre still insisting that the
 Democratic candidate w3.l finally be seated
 and are willing Go place thoir bets that way

 However. it is well not to forget that there /. more llAl question or WND suaL represent AlGSk in the House Of Representatives in the keepln or the authorities who have the decisions Go maj that will finally determine the result of the Noyeu Der election. As far as that is concerned there wa practically draw in the election. and there proba F who will not frankly admit that if the ele ton were to be held over Senator Suzer would hay decisive majority But the authorities have in the care the Australian ballot law. This law was passe to guard the ballot box agans, fraud-to insure th voter secrecy and keep intimidation and bribery ava from the polls. The authorities also have to decid upon the question of registration and other question tha, count as safeguards against fraud.
 Election laws are made for the protection the ballot box as well as for the purpose of permit ting legally qualified voters exercise the franchise It is because Of that that it is becoming harde t5 vote than formerly Practically every legal provision made for safeguarding the integrity of elections shut votes out for the very reason that it makes nor difficult to vote. The whole course of recent histOr! shows that the letting down Of the bars for fraul is regarded as greater wrong than deprving fev people of their franchise.
