PTES EXACT FACTS

Court Takes Exceptions o theWorld Herald's Kemarks.

Dcmocntle Orto Criticises tho CassCounty Authorities la Regard to theForm In Which the Election BsltoUWere Printed The Law Strictly Con?plied With.

From Monday's Daily.I'LATTSMOUTH, Neb., Nov. 5, 1900.

To G.L.Farley,chairman of the countycentral committee: After reading thearticle in the World-Heral- d of thismorning, bearing the headlines "Meth-ods used to get Cass," and in orderthat fairminded citizens may have thaex ict facts relative to the situation, Idesire to make this statement:

Section 17 of Chapter 26, entitledElections, of the compiled statutes of1899, is the section under which thecounty judge is authorized to commis-sion the judges and clerks of electionfor the different precincts throughoutthe county.

The first' few lines of the sectionreading to the first provision gives thejudge authority to roako these selec-tions in accordance with his ideas ofwhat is just and right, where thereare no recommendations certified tohim from the precinct primary.

The first provision authorizes thejudge to proceed upon the recommend-ations and certificates of nominationfiled in his office ten days prior to theelection.

The third provision of the" law di-

rects the judge how to proceed whenthere are two parties, and two only,upon the official ballot Now, I ven-ture the assertion that the man doesnot live who can follow out the letterof this statute and still do justice tothe voters of the county.

If we suppose that all of the partiesmentioned on the official ballot havecertified judges and clerks of electionto the county judge, then we have todeal with the republican, people s

silver republican.prohibition, mid-roa- d populist and so-

cialist, seven in all whereas, the lawonly provides for five members on lheelection boards in the country districts.Then suppose that we act under thatprovision and appoint a republicanjudge, a people's independent judge, ademocrat judge, a silver republicanclerk and a prohibition clerk.

Then, since the interests of the peo-

ple's independent, democrat and silverrepublican parties are identical, forthey all vote for the same candidate,national, state and county, and arevirtually one party, wo would have inevery precinct in Cass county, regardless of the majority vote in the precinct, three members on every elec-

tion board whoe interests are identi-cal, which I think is not in accordancewith the spirit of the law. In select-ing the boards throughout the county,I-- have followed the second provisionof the statute,and considered the threefusion parties as one and the republican party as tne otner, since tneseparties are tho only ones that havesent in their certificates of nominationfrom tho precincts in the county.

In thus construing the law, I thinkI have followed the constructionplaced upon it by one of the leadingdemocrats of Pattsmoutb. I say thisbecause there were no certificates ofnomination filed from any of the wardsn Plattsmouth by the democratic, peo

ple's independent or silvor republicans:and so I acted upon the recommenda- -

ion of the democratic leaders in appointing the judges and clerks in thecity of Plattsmouth, and strange as itmay seem, not one of the names thatthey suggested was from either thepeople's independent or the Bilver republican party.

As to the country districts, therewere no certificates of nomination filedby tho people's independent party fromCenter, Eight Mile Grove. Greenwood,First district West Rock Bluffs, Tipton, First, Second and Third wards ofWeeping Water, and there were nocertificates of nomination filed in thisoffice from democratic primaries inElmwood, Greenwood, Stove Creek,Tipton, nor the Second ward of Weep-ing Water. -

And in these precincts I made thebest selections that could be made under the circumstances and in every instance my aim has been in tho pre"clnct where tho republicans cast themajority vote to give them two judgesand one clerk of the board, and dividethe other two members between thedemocrats and people's independent.where both have certified names to beplaced on the election board; and inthe precincts where the fusion forecshave cast the majority vote, I havegiven them two judges and one clerk.and where they have both certified in.both parties have been represented onthe election board. -

The statement in the World-Heral- d

article relative to Eight Mile Grove isfalse, and is a base mlsrearesentation. The democrats in that nrerlnthave two judges and one clerk, and therepublicans one judge and one clerkIn this precinct, aa I have statedabove, the people's independent partydid notertify any one to be placed onthe board. .

The matter of the red lines throughMr. Waggoner's name from Avccaprecinct, "was simply the clerk's meth-od of correcting an error, and no com-mission was ever issued to Mr. Wag-goner, he representing the people'sIndependent-parly- , for the reason thatthat party has a representative on theelection board in Avoca precinct in theperson of Mr. G. L. Spohn, one of theclerks.

The record also shows that in Ne-haw- ka

precinct, Mr. C. D. West, whowas appointed as judge of election onthe 25ih day of October, resigned hiscommission as such judge on the 31stof October, and Henry M, Pollard was

appointed in his stead on lhe sameday.

If there are any irregularities in theappointment of election boards, thereis ample provision made in the statutefor the correction of any mistake, orthe removal of any member of anelection board who is not legally entitled to bis commission; but it seemsthat our fusion friends would rather fly

into print and if possible make a littlecampaign thunder out of tha imaginary wrongs.

Respectfully submitted,J. E. DOUGLASS,

County Judge.Complied With the Law.

An article in today's World-Heral- d

criticises the county clerk for printingthe ballots with names of candidatesand party designation on one line instead of placing them under each otherand placing a bracket around them.I wish to simply state that I have followed the statutes exactly in this matter, and if any one doubts I respectfully refer him to the election laws.
