Governors Statement
After the council meeting, the
following statement was made by
Gov. Baxter on the tabulation of the
returns:
I'm view Of the importance Of
promptly determining the results Of
the recent Republican gubernatoriai
primary. Of the widespread public
interest in IL, and OF the fact that
time is short and there are but ten
weeks after the present before the
State election, / thought It best i'm
mediately to call the Council to-
sether In formal session and pass
upon the returns.
SHOULD . recount be asked for
by either candidate Il would require
considerable time to make IL, and
there are many other details to be
attended to in the preparation for
elections in the routine OF state
business. The printing and distri.
button of the election ballots alone
requires several weeks, and I felt
that there should be no delay on
the part OF the Governor and Coun-
Gil.
THE Councillors and myself have
gone over the returns In detail and,
although there were O few clerical
errors, there was no real question a.
to the returns for each candidate,
and both Senators Brewster and
harrington were personally shown
all the returns about which any
questions were raised and were sat-
isfied with our findings.
II felt that the atmosphere should
be cleared 30 that all would know
just what the results OF the primary
were. ~ the returns indicate. 1t1
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-06-24

should be remembered that the Gov.
ernor and Council have not inspect
ed any of the ballots. This can be
done at the request of the candidates
and then the ballots are brought to
Augusta and inspected IN open SEES
sion.
THE action OF the Governor and
Council In the first instance is by law
restricted to an inspection of the re-
turns. Any candidate OF course has
the right to call for an inspection of
all or any ballots, and then his rights
would be passed upon by the Courts.
On these questions the Governor and
Council render no opinion and have
nothing to say"
