with said specimen ballots; 1t also
appears that these unlaWfully marx
ed specimen ballots were taken into
the voting compartments by many
voters who had previously been
given such specimen ballots by SAID
persons whose names are at present
to your petitioner unknown; that all

Fifth: 1t appears from the returns
of the election officials of the town
of Litchfield, that LAG ballots had
been cast for Henry f. Cummings,
the Republican nominee for the Of
flee of Sheriff of Kennebec county
at the election held September IL,
1926, and that 106 ballots had been
cast for your petitioner at said cleo
ton, making a total number of bal
lots cast for said office OF sheriff OF
252. An inspection of the ballots Oh
said town of Litchfield disclosed only
40 ballots for your petitioner there
by showing that 81 ballots lawfully
cast for your petitioner and there
afterwards lawfully reported were
purloined, stolen, or taken away from
the ballots actually cast" in said
town of Litchfield for the purpose OF
defrauding your petitioner and thus
discrediting the vote of said town OF
Litchfield except as it may be deter
mined by other competent evidence.
Now, therefore, it appearing that
the ballots cast fraudulently and IL
legally would reverse the result OF
the election, in accordance with the
provisions of Section SO of Chapter z
of the Revised Statutes of 1916,
your petitioner respectfully prays
that the Governor and Council may
set hearing at which time the Gov
ernor and Council shall examine the
ballots cast in the cities and towns
and voting precincts above alleged,
and that the returns may be correct
ed in accordance with the number of
ballots found to have been actually
cast" in such cities, towns, and vot-
ing precincts; and that reasonable
notice may be given to Henry T..
Cummings, Republican nominee for
the Office of Sheriff OF kennebec
county, that hearing has been set
and that said notice may state that
ton will be made.

Two New Cars
Excite Enthusiasm

Harry T. Jose, who sells Franklin.
Paige and Jewett automobiles, was
very Justifably proud Tuesday. He
mad just received the new models in
Paige and Jewett cars and even he.
VINO has seen SO many automobiles
on both sides Of the Atlantic, was
enthusiastic.
The Jewett is the new creation for
which a prize of $4,000 is being
offered to the person who selects the
best name. To look at it, one could
think of hundred names that might
apply. 1t Is a beauty in every sense
If the word and it is little wonder
that the manufacturers call is "The
second most beautiful car in Amer
ica"
With its duo-tone coloring, rich,
deep gray upholstery, inlaid mother
of-pearl handles to the doors and
other attractive features, it will
excite favorable comment without
any effort at all. The two-tone
finish is mighty attractive, for the
main part Of the body is in a rich
deep grayish blue while the upper
part follows the same shade, but in
lighter tone.
The new Paige. which is "the most
beautiful car in America" is a. strik-
ing creation. 1t. too, has a duo-tone
finish, but in this the contrast of
coloring is much greater for the tone
of the upper part of the car borders

NURSE BADLY HURT
WHEN PHYSICIANS
CAR LEAVES ROAD

Miss Flora Burns, head nurse In the
operating room at the Augusta Cen
eral Hospital, is patient in that In
stitution suffering with a fractured
nose and painful decorations and abra-
sions of the face and head as the re-
suit of an automobile accident Monday
afternoon on Winding Hill on the
North Belfast road.
Miss Burns was accompanying DR..
A. II. Sturtevant on professional
call and the two were returning to-
ward Augusta when the doctor in some
manner lost control of his machine
possibly due to a defective steering
connection, and the Chrysler roadster
left the roadway, struck a culvert and
was ditched.
The two occupants of the machine
were thrown forcibly forward and
Miss Burns probably received her in
iuries when the heavy plateglass wind
shield was shattered. DIR. Sturtevant
escaped with painful body bruises and
with cut on his upper lip. Both were
considerably shaken up in the crash
and it was some little time before
Miss Burns could be brought to the
hospital for treatment.
When the roadster was ditched as It
left the road it is believed that it end
ed up onto the front axle and radia-
tor and then settled back onto the
right sid. The car, which was COM
paratively new, was badly wracked
and damaged in the spill. The front
axle was sprung, both front mud
guards crushed. the front bumper
snapped off in four places, the left
door torn from the hinges. the body
twisted. the windshield shattered, and
the hoop and spokes of the steering
wheel were ripped clean from the
steering column. Those who inspected
the care after II was brought to this
city by the wrecker from the Franklin
Service were convinced that both oc-
cupants had had a very narrow es-
cape from death.
It was understood last evening that
DR.. Sturtevant, though considerably
famed by his narrowing experience,
would probably not be kept away from
his professional work to any extent
while it was reported at the hospital
that Miss Burns was resting fairly
comfortably.
