Purse With Fifty Five
Dollars Burnt

Last Wednesday, Mrs. James
Henry placed her pocketbook
containing some ffty-five dol
lars in bills, in the slide top of
her parlor stove.
Later in the afternoon she
built a fire, entirely forgetting
the purse in the top. About
five P M she remembered plac-
ing it there, and hurried to the
stove only to find the bills in
ashes, nothing remaining but a
few cents in silver.
Mr.. Cobb, of the Island Pond
National Bank has submitted
the ashes to the United States
Treasury in Washington, toge-
ther with a list of the bills and
their denomination. 1t is pos
that the numbers can be deci-
phered, and in that case, the
amount will BIT refunded to Mrs
Henry.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
BOOSTER OF ISLAND POND
ATTENTION

This week, Oct. 24-31, a
drive for funds will be conduct
ed by workers of public inter-
est to raise money to do an eff
icient work among the boys
of the community
Every Dollar from non-R. r.
men raised, will be spent on
your boy. Rooms are being fit
ted up with games, new pool
tables, shooting gallery, out
door attractions, Scout troops,
hikes, suppers, etc.
Many of the prominent busi-
ness men of the town are serv-
ing on committees for this COM
munity work and a large pro-
gram is in progress of forma-
ton.
Volunteer leaders have lined
up to make possible some fine
things for the boys. The needs
are many and great. The best
is none to good for the Island
Pond fellows and they are chal.
longing the men to give them a
better chance against the fu.
ture. Every dollar invested in
a boy bears more than one mil.
lion per cent interest. You men
who have boys know this to be
true.
We men who are serving on
the Executive Committee ask
for your cooperation. Yours
for the Good of the Boys.

Brief for Contestants by c. r. Powell
and Arthur L. Graves.

These proceedings are brought un-
der Section 1873 of the General Laws.
which it is here unnecessary to set

The ballots in question do not
comply with the provision of Section
110 of the General Laws, as amend

1921, which reads as follows:
Printing; form; order of names.
Such ballots shall be prepared by
said officials at least ten days before
primary is to be held, and shall be
printed on white paper and be as
nearly as is practicable in the same
form as ballots for general elections
except that separate ballots shall be
provided for each party participating
in the primary. Below the name of
each office shall be printed in easily
legible words "Vote for One," "Vote
for Two" "Vote for Three or a
spelled number designating how ma.
ny persons are to be voted for
Names of rival candidates for nomi.
nation shall be arranged in the al.
phabetical order of their surnames
Following the names printed on the
ballot, after the name of each office
to be filled, shall be as many blank
lines as there are persons to be e.
lected to that office.
"The names of all candidates of 6
party for United States Senator
Congressman, State and County Of
ficers and town or, city representa-
tives shall be printed upon separate
ballots headed by the name of thu
party of which they are candidates
A person voting at such primar!

RENELL-BARTLETT

Two of Island Ponds most
popular young people were u
nited in marriage Wednesday
evening, Oct. 18, when Rachel
c. Renell, eldest daughter of
Mrs. Grace Renell, became the
bride of Philip A. Bartlett, only
son of Mrs. Sarah Bartlett.
Rev. Bernard L. Chase was

Mr.. Gerald Ladd and Miss
Marion Currier were the bridal
attendants. Only the immediate

under the leadership and command
of c. R. Powell, ESQ.,. and proceeded
to cut the ballots open and to write
the names of Herbert E. Aldrich for
Judge of Probate and Charles E.
Bishop for Sheriff in the places of
the Hon. Fred A. Brewer and Richard
Beattie, (the regular candidates J
This accounts for the "sixty lawful
votes" The canvassing board at
Brighton proceeded to eliminate all
other ballots cast at the primary cleo
tlon and to count only such as were
deposited separately. The regular
canvass made by the County Board
shows that Judge Brewer received
453 votes and Herbert E. Aldrich re-
ceived So votes for Judge of Probate
and also shows that Richard Beattie
received 460 and Charles E. Bishop
60 votes for Sheriff of the County.
AS previously stated, the sole ques-
tion before this Court is as to wheth-
er the non observance of a formalitv
shall entirely vitiate the true intent
and purpose of the Republican voters
of the County.
Does the registration upon a dou-
BILE ballot showing the honest desire
of the voters of the County so far de-
termine the will of the people as to
be valid primary? If the Court will
carefully look at the sample of the
ballot which these petitioners desire
to make null and void, he will see
that the Democratic party had no
candidates and that the certificate
required by law was placed upon the
back of the Republican part of the
double ballot.
There is not the slightest question
about the desire and purpose of the
Republican voters of Essex County
and the fact that the ballot was dou.
ble instead of single is an. error in
form only. Supposing the law re.
qulred that these ballots be on white
instead of yellow paper, but
yellow paper were used, that is an er-
ror in form merely and would not
vitiate the ballot.
Supposing the ballot was REQUIRED
to be deposited in a box of certain
size and color, and a different box
was used; supposing the square at
the top was required to be one inch
and a three-quarter inch square were
used, supposing Roman Numerals
were used instead of letters REQUIRED
by the Statute, would anyone suggest
that the ballots were void and that
the true intent and purpose of the
voters should thus be cast aside?
The error is one of form pure anc
simple, and the Statute herein cited
takes care of the situation entirely
and was enacted for the very pur.
pose for which it is now invoked.
These Statutes are directory
Where the terms of Statute have
room for any administrative discre
tion to be exercised, it cannot be in
terpreted to be mandatory. And 6
Statute directing the mode of pro
ceeding by public officers is to be
deemed directory, and a precise com
pliance is not to be deemed essentia
to the validity of the proceedings un
less so declared by Statute.
Free Press Assn. VS. Nichols, as VT,
The case is not renewable by thi.
Court because no appearance and NJ
