ter of ballots concerning which there
was no DISPUTE and the result Of that
agreement Mr.. Pendleton is conceded
$50 ballots and Mr.. Fernald 642. 1t
was conceded that the decision in
regard to the ballots would decide
which was entitled to the seat IN
the House of Representatives.
Six towns are included in the leg
islative class in which the contest
arose, namely: lslesbOrO, Stockton
SPRINGS, Searsport, Winterport,
Prospect and Frankfort. In the town
of Stockton Springs six ballots are
in dispute, Islesboro three, Prospect
one, Frankfort 5, Winterport IL and
Searsport four.
OF the 80 ballots in dispute Mr..
Perkins claimed that Fl OF them
counted for Mr.. Fernald and four
for Mr.. Pendlcton under recent
ruling by Chief Justice Cornish in the
contested shrievality case in oxford
county where the Democratic candl-
date, Mr.. Woodside contests the
election of the Republican candidate,
Mr.. rockingham, who was declared
elected on the face of the returns.
These cases covered those where the
party ticket had been voted and
candidates name marked out and the
other candidates name written below
and either with or without cross
in square at right of name.
If this contention was upheld IL
would mean a tie with 663 votes
counted for each candidate. There,
however, is another class of ballots
in which the intention of the voter
could be ascertained although the
cross and in others not placed in the
square in which the voters choice
should be indicated. However, under
the broad ruling in the Oxford
county case. seven or these ballots
should be counted for Fernald and
two for Pendleton and one in which
it was impossible to make any
choice. This would give Mr.. Fer
Maid the election by five votes ac-
cording to the contention of Mr.. Per-
kins.
Thomas Leigh of Augusta appear
cd as counsel for Mr.. PcndletOn and
argued that if the law as laid down
in the Revised Statutes and laws or
Maine, the same election laws placed
in every election polling place in the
State on election day, it would be
plain to see that Mr.. Pendleton
would have a clear title to the seat
for which the certificate of election
had been issued to him.
In stating his position. MIR. Leigh
read from 4 decision of Justice Nor
rill in which the intention of the
voter is declared to be decisive only
when expressed according to the
manner and method laid down in the
election law. According to the rul-
ing of Justice Morrill,, all marks
must be regulation crosses, made in
| the square properly designated for
| them, not above or below, no names
can be written in spaces on the ballot
that all ready appear printed on the
ballot and the law in regard to
straight and split ballots must fol-
low strictly the law laid down by
the Legislature.
He said although Chief Justice
Cornish had recently made n diff
ferent ruling, an appeal had been en-
tered in the case and until the law
had been laid down in the case by
the law court after hearing argu-
ment this committee had no right
than to follow the law closely in de-
Gliding the validity of the ballots in
question.
