COURT WORD THIS WEEK

Pending .he decision OF the Su-
preme court on the ballot recount
questions which have been submit
ted to the justices by the Governor
and Council. the result of the Repub-
lican primary election will be a mat
ter OF doubt regardless OF rumors
that either candidate has been found
to be in the lead. The Governor and
Council have completed their work
with the exception of going over the
ballots Of the city of Portland. and
that will be commenced at noon to-
day. The questions on doubtful ball
lots have been submitted 10 the SUI
preme court and it Is expected that
the opinions will be handed down the
latter part of this week.
There are rumors of all kinds per-
tanning to the work that is being
carried on by the Governor and
Council. One of the latest is the
story that If the courts decide that
the handmade ballots In Aroostook
county are not valid. Senator Brew
ster will be found to lead in the
count. The number Of home made
ballots is quite large. this term be-
ing applied to all ballots not printed
in Augusta. :
The question Of the legality Of the
unofficial ballots Is pu3zling lawyers,
who are putting considerable time
looking into the matter. A large
number Of the bar members are of
the opinion that they will not stand.
There have been many decisions
concerning 1t. They are adverse to
the ballots. The case has'come up in
two or three western states and
courts have decided that the public
had no right to cast ballots other
than those supplied to the voter by
the state. To admit this would be to
open the door to all sorts of written
ballots; would upset the whole the
DRY of supervision of the primaries
and lead to endless complications.
The other side say that 1t is wrong
to deny any person the right to vote.
To this contention the other side re-
plies that this Is true; but hardships
may occur that are of less impor-
lance than complete notification Of
the purpose of the primary laws.
Among the .rumOrs heard in the
State House corridors Is the tale of a
certain meeting of prominent Repub-
licans alleged to have been held last
Tuesday evening, those in attend
ance including Senator Brewster.
United States Senator Fernald, and
congressman Nelson, White and
Hersey.
1t was private" meeting and the
report Of the proceedings was not
given to the press. But 1t is under
stood that Senator Brewster was the
speaker and that he made very
sensational speech in which he init
mated that he was not being treated
fairly by the council and especially
by the governor, who Vas delaying
the count, He attacked the governor
very strongly. Mr.. Brewster seemed
much concerned over his suspicious
and his observations.
It was matter concerning which
the visitors had no knowledge. The
governor had already issued his
statement to the effect that under
no conditions would he accept n
nominat ton for governor" He had
denied the implications Of intention
al delay. He took on himself from
the first all responsibility for the ad-
journment over Sunday.
1t was said to be an interesting
session in view of the remarks made
by Senator Brewster.
