Governor and Council to Decide

1T IS generally conceded by lawyers
that tho supreme judicial court cannot
review or upset the decisions OF the
governor and council, The JUDGES Of
the court. however. can be called upon
to advise, and the governor has the
constitutional right to PROFOUND quos-
lions to them. This is TO he done and
questions are heinz prepared covering
all the disputed points. The questions
and their subdivisions Will make at
least so questions to he submitted to
the court. After the answers come in,
the governor and council will he guided
accordingly. In this way the people
Of Maine will know the opinions Of the
supreme court have been followed.
This will settle the matter for all time
ard will give double assurance that
the result : correct, for the decisions
Of the governor and council then will
be based upon the courts findings.

are absent voting ballots without

from the table and used in some
places
There are ballots marked with

There were ballots marked with
crosses in the squares and other
crosses outside OF the squares. In
some Of these cases the intent of the

apparently restrict us in our count.
There are ballots printed for one

In some cases the name of the ori-
ginal town was erased and others
not. One town sent in its 1922 bal
