Raises knotty Question

A legal question which has been
raised in the congressional ele'$ion con-
test in I.uzerne County may result in
throwing out the entire soldier vote of
In the State in the election November ..
Edmund g. Carpenter, Republican
nominee for Congress in the Luzerne
district, has raised the point on the
ground that to permit only the men in
the military service who are still IN this
country to vote was discrimination
against the men overseas,
, Prothonotary Evan Williams, of Lu-
yerne, on the advice of his counsel, has
sustained the contention OF Carpenter
and has not Included the vote from the
training camps in the total for LuZerne
County The action of Prothonotary
Williams leaves the matter up to the
Luzerne Court TO decide.
Luzerne County gave Carpenter a
lead of eighteen votes over eX-Congress-
man John j. Casey, his Democratic OPP
ponent. When the unofficial returns
from the training camps We're received
Casey took the lead b. elghty-eight
votes.
CARPENTER Immediately raised the point
that If the vote on the men overseas
had been taken he would have received
a substantial majority over Casey. When
the LuZerne County authorities at
tempted 10 count the votes yesterday
from the training camps they found the
returns In such shape that Prothonotary
Williams ruled them out.
II Is not expected that a decision from
the Luzerne Court upholding Carpenter )
contention would affect the vote in any
other district, as the soldier vote was
not necessary in other districts to decide
the result of the election.
Governor Brumbaugh appointed COM
nlssioners to take the vote of the SOL
diers in the llS training camps and
forts scattered over the country, but
made no effort to get the vote Of the
men overseas. The military authorities
had announced that they did rot favor
