argue the various points raised judge loofborough for the liberals first came forward he urged that the return for J H rumel could not be counted for JH rumel jr his point was that the board of canvassers were only permitted to take the face of the returns and could make no further investigation or examination he read a number ot of authorities au thorl on this subject he said it made no difference as to whether votes were cast for H page and henry page for both were the same but there was a difference between john H rumel and john H rumel jr the termination jr af a side of the usual order of returns and at 1125 a m the count was completed it showed that for selectman assessor attorney coroner and surveyor the liberal candidates had majorities ranging from 58 to A alien ile n for county clerk gets 16 more than ferguson the vote for treasurer is a tie ford for recorder rumel nas laas 73 majority and burt for sherl sheriff ff the commissioners to locate university lands were not voted for on the liberal ticket the following is the vote of the indicating that there was another maya man of the same saine name the jr was not part of the name but merely a distinction for the individual jobu H U rumel jr could avail himself of the votes for john H aurnel if he were to show that the latter was not a candidate and was not eligible to the office but this could only be done by a contest in the courts the speaker claimed that it was the duty of the board to count the returns as certified to by the judges of election elect IOD and to issue the certificate to the one having the highest number judge M stone took up the case of the third poll in the second precinct where the tauy tally sheet shows county as it now stands the objections made to it are the counting of votes for J H rumel and J H rumel jr all for the latter the reference to the ballot box ui in a cam cage where J B toronto appa apparently renvy should have six more votes and the application to count sixteen unlawfully excluded votes for F ferguson in south cottonwood and the complaint about thirteen illegal votes cast for allen alien in bingham the action of the board of c canvassers upon these items will decide what changes are to be made 77 votes for J B toronto for trea teea v surer while the footing is only 71 and this number is carried onto on to the abstract judge stoned stone Is position was that the board could only accept the fig figures fires an on the abstract and J clotild not go to the tally sheet or even to the ballot box judge judd the statute says the fudges of election sham shall certify the list of votes and t if there is any the tee board of canvassers may send for the ballot box and may count the votes now if we must take only the aarti 1 I fled abstract what is the use of tue the provision to go to the ballot box to determine where the discrepancy Is judge stone the tally oble with the discrepancy is ie not no t a eft 4 4 ined fled sheet and should not be considered as i indicating odi cating a discrepancy it to is only when a discrepancy t lists in j the certified sheets that the canvassers can go to the ballot box mr riter biter whatever the figures are on the abstract there can be no discrepancy this must arise between two sheets judge stone it must be between two authenticated the fact that they came in the same envelope is no legat lega evidence that they are the proper papers mr brown how do they know wie the abstract is authenticated judge stone they must take judicial dacial notice of that our position I 1 nhat Is that this board cannot recognize a discrepancy between the tally sheets and the certified abstract or on the tally sheet the certified sheet is the sworn return col ferguson followed for the liberals in the same line as judge stones argument he claimed that no contingency could arise I 1 in a which the board could go to the ballot box judge judd the statute provides for it col ferguson but not in such a contingency as this judge judd suppose the judges should make a return and 1 candidate should claim clabin it ic to be wrong could not the board go to the ballots col ferguson no if the judges certified to false returns this board could not go the to ballot box to correct the wrong col ferguson continued his argument to show that the board could not take cognizance of the discrepancy on the tally sheet judge judd can the board judge what is a legal return col ferguson no sir air judge judd dont they have to determine it col ferguson well after a form 1 sup suppose se they do junge judge judd then if there were two returns from one precinct by two sets of judges how about that col ferguson they must ascertain tai n which are the legal judges judge judd you say they can take no evidence col ferguson the question is not fair rhe fhe evidence is not on the returns but who send them mr mariter riter suppose the judges certify differently col ferguson that is a discrepancy to be determined by reference to the ballot box judge powers came next on the box elder |
