MAN WHO HAS DONE GOOD
WORK is RETURNED HERE

Personal friends of Rev. j. H..
Westervelt, as we'll as the members
of his flock are particularly pleased
to learn that the worthy gentleman
and devout Christian leader has
been re-assigned, by the Methodist
Episcopal church conference, which
recently convened at Santa Cruz,
California, to the charge of the
church at this place.
During his six years. service here
Rev. Westervelt has attained splen-
did results in his field of endeavor
and his work is greatly appreciated
by all with whom he has come in
contact. He has been signally
aided in his work in the Lords vine
yard by his most estimable help
meet, who has endeared herself to
large circle Of acquaintance.
at that precinct that would ma
terially enlighten the court on some
points that were rather obscure.
Judge Taber said that while he
would really like to hear what Mr..
Wells might have to say, the time
for the introduction of testimony
had closed, and that if counsel for
contestees interposed objections he
would not entertain the thought of
permitting further testimony. At
torney Campbell, manifesting the
utmost fairness, speaking for his
client, District Attorney Wilson,
said that he had not the slightest OBJ
lection to offer and no suggestion
to make other than that he desired
the court to do just as he saw fit
in the matter; and with that, after
Judge Taber had feelingly expressed
admiration for the spirit of absolute
fairness that Attorney Campbell hao
voiced, he directed Mr.. Wells to
come forward and take the witness
stand.
To questions asked him relative
to the casting of ballot by Andrew
Lilly, at Jungo precinct, Mr.. Wells
stated that Lilly had presented to
him a couple of papers, one of
which was an affidavit to the effect
that Lilly was Unexpectedly called
away from his regular voting pre-
cinct and he desired to cast his bal.
lot at Jungo. Mr.. Wells then asked
Lilly if he was willing to make oath
to the fact that he was the man
justly entitled to the affidavit and
upon Lilly's saying that he was will
ing to make oath to that effect he
wars given a Democratic ballot and
voted it. The question of Lilly's
right to vote at Jungo was an is
sue raised by the contestants, who
eontended that he was properly
registered in Winnemucca precinct.
but had never gotten transfer per-
NIT that justified him being granted
the privilege of voting elsewhere.
Just what effect Wells testimony
had upon the court is not known,
but prior to the introduction of his
testimony Judge Taber had given
expression to the statement that he
was going to count Lilly's vote a
legal ballot. Wells testimony NAV
have altered his determination and
thus brought about the unseating
of District Attorney Wilson, or left
him, at least, with the same num-
Der of votes that would have been
counted for his opponent.
In the court recount of the bal
lots it was discovered that quite
a number of ballots cast had been
marked by the voters with lead
pencil, instead of the rubber stamp
provided for the purpose of stamp
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-10-07


ing the squares in front of the
names of the candidates. Judge
Taber held that the penciled ballots,
inasmuch as they fairly expressed
the intent of the voters, were legal
ballots in every sense of the term,
and he so counted them. If the
district attorney contest is appealed
to the supreme court and that
august body holds contrary to Judge
Taber, in reference to the pencil
marked ballots, but sustains Judge
Taber in all of his other findings,
the contest will resolve itself into
a perfect tie between Messers. War
rem and Wilson.
Judge j. A. Langwith, in the
course of a very brief talk address
sed to the court, pointed out and
stressed the laws setting forth the
requirements that must be observed
by the voters in filling in their
choice of candidates and made it
quite clear that the law, governing
both primary and general elections,
expressly states that the ballots
must be stamped and there is no
provision warranting the voter to
exercise the right to do just as he
pleases, and make use of any other
instrument or device that may suit
his pleasure in the marking of the
ballot; and it was the judgment of
Judge Langwith that all of the bal
lots which had been voted by the
votars, using lead pencil to in
dieate their choice of candidates,
should be held void and given no
consideration by the court. Judge
Taber, however, ruled to the con-
trary and when that matter is
directed to the attention of the su-
preme court of the-st it is barely
probable that the members of that
court will take view in harmony
with that of Judge Langwith, and
hold that Judge Taber was in the
wrong.
The case has been closely con
tested and it matterd not what
Judge Taber's decision might be
there was bound to be disappoint-
nent suffered by some of the parties
o the suit; and while the de-
ision results in a feeling of jubi-
ance on the part of some and dis
appointment on the part of others,
hat was not to be averted.

ROAD BOOSTERS
MUST CO TO MEET
Tourist Traffic Which Has Become
A Factor of Great Importance
Must Be Appealed to With
the Best of Roads

A well-attended regular meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce was
held last night and after several
matters of minor Importance had
been disposed of, the LON cutoff
road meeting, which convenes at
Jordan Valley, opening next Thurs
day, October IL, and closing Satur-
day, October IA, was brought to
the attention of the members by
Secretary Grady, who emphasized
the Importance of the meeting to
the people of Humboldt county
and urged that a representative
body of live-wire boosters arrange
to attend the meeting.
In expressing his views to The
Silver State, Secretary Grady said
'The LON cutoff is rapidly as
suming national Importance as a
highway, and we in Humboldt coun-
ty are strategically located at and
near its junction with that great
transcontinental route, the Victory
highway. We are deriving great
benefits already from the existence
of this cutoff, which brings Yel-
lowstone national park many hun
dreds of miles nearer to US and to
the beaten paths of tourist travel
Through no fault of our own,
the idea prevails along-the northern
extremes of the LON cutoff that
we are not materially interested in
the welfare of this road. This has
resulted through our past inability
to attend meetings held in Jordan
Valley, Nampa, Caldwell, Boise and
other towns along the route.
ut is squarely up to US now to
redeem ourselves in the eyes of
our northern friends. This means
"a large and enthusiastic attendance
at the meeting at Jordan Valley
next week. 1t is good business to
attend this meeting"

A BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION

Who would attempt to say that
banks are not an advantage to com.
munity. Post yourself and you will
find that in towns which have Build.
ing and Loan Associations they are
regarded with more favor and Of
greater benefit to the poorer class Of
people than are the banks.
The association enables many poor
salaried men to own homes by paying
for them in small weekly or month
ly payments, who never could, il
they wanted to, pay cash.
Let the business people Of Berea
busy themselves and organize one Of
these institutions and see Berea
grow with renewed vigor as well as
help those who need it in the impor-
tant question Of home owning.

WORK IN THE NEW ADDITION
PROGRESSING

{From The Citizen, May II, 1927
During the past week foundations
for the four modern California
bungalows in the new addition called
"Dixie Highway Park" have been
completed. A large force of carpen-
ters is now busily engaged in the
construction of these houses which
the company hopes to have under
roof by Saturday night, May IS.
We visited this new addition on
Sunday afternoon, and there were
many citizens of Berea there looking
over this property. The presence Of
these visitors seems to be source
of considerable pleasure to Mr.. Henry,
who was on the ground giving infor-
nation to all, as to the future plans
for this new addition to Berea.

PRESS COMMENT
A Bid For Notoriety

The sudden decision of James f.
Kennedy. Democratic candidate for
Congress in the First District, to lead
an attack against Fred Fleetwood on
the issue of the Volstead act, is too
plainly of the sensational variety TO
be of very serious Importance.
II is apparent, from Mr. Kennedy's
utterance, that when he accepted his
place on the complimentary Demo
cratic slate. he had no idea Of taking
