2 NtW REPRESENTATIVES ACOED

Frank F. Grubbs, deputy secretary of state, is investigating the vote for legislutive candidates at the recent geuci.il election in Cass and Fulton Com ' s, wiii i' tio election of a represe:.'alive is in controversy. If it is shown that a Democrat was elected in ti .1 district, and it is believed there is no doubt this is true, the Demo ratic majority in the House of Representatives, owing to a change in the vote from Fountain County yesterday, will be twenty, and the Democratic majority on joint ballot

will be sixteen.

Yesterday Mr. Grubbs was notified by telephone message from Anson G. Madden, clerk of the Fountain Circuit Court, that the Democratic candidate for representative In that

iously announced. The change in the vote in Fountain <'"iin!Y is a result of an error by the clerk of the court in certifying the ! returns. The returns which he sent in showed the election of Alonzo H. Lindley. the Republican candidate, by a plurality of 35. The vote of William Madigan, the Democratic candidate, was returned at 2.861 and that of Lindley at 2.s;tt;. Yesterday Mr. Madden discovered his error and notified Mr. Grubbs that Lindley’s vote should have been 2,796. This change shows the election of Madlgan by a plurality of 65.

BURKS-STANLEY At the home of Rev. A. T. Riley, Miss Cora Burks of Reelsville and Mr. Forest Stanley of Fillmore were quietly married Sunday afternoon. Those present were two sisters of the bride, and two brothers of the groom. Mr. Stanley is a prosperous farmer near Fillmore, where Mr. and Mrs. Stanley will reside.

XVhile th'- defeated Democratic

; candidates lor State ottices are makj'ing preparations for the contest which they will make in the Legislature to get possession of these of-

fices, they are also looking into the both Houses-, ir .s believed. Al

several contests tor election ha .-

been filed in different parts Slade by d f< ated Democrat: 1 dates for the House, and i to protect L elf from any jio

schemes in t e Senate.

Ju the Senate the Republican have the nta. irity, and therefore havi the advantage of seating n bers of that body. One of the po-.-.-bilities tiiat ha^ been considered the Democrats is that the Repu iicans. taking advantage of their majority. will temporarily seat eno ri. Republican members in the Senat- o cut a big figure in electing a Un States Senate—possibly enough throw the United States Senatorshs; to the Republicans. Color is given ' > this theory by the fact that the ele - lion of the three Democratic candidates for State Senator In Mai; ui

County has b'-en contested.

To meet any such emergency a> the wholesale unseating of Democrats in the Senate, the Democratic State organization, it Is understood, is geting ready to look after its interests in th* House. In the House the Democrats are in the majority, and, of course, the advantages the members in that branch would equal those of the Republicans in the upper branch. If then, the Republicans should attempt to seat temporarily in the Senate enough of their members to affect the tenatorship election, the Democrats would attempt to seat temporarily enough of their members in the House to offset the action of

the Republican Senate.

Several contests which look to the seating of Democrats in the House have been filed in different counties of the State. In the Decatur Circuit Court a suit has been filed in which il is alleged that 175 i.legal votes were cast and counted for Jethro C. Meek, the successful Republican candidate for Representative. It is alleged also that seventy-five votes that were cast for John H. Deniston, th • Democratic candidate, and which were rejected, should have been counted. Meek’s plurality was ISO. I

proceedure to bo followed. And they have found a way out of their

trouble.

The law governing contests for State offices is of an uncertain character. It provides that a contestant “ball notify the House of Representatives of iiis contest by filing with it In showing that he is entitled to the office. The contestee is then notified and the House and Senate each appoints a committee of seven members to hear the evidence and decide the contest. Although these committees | are chosen scparatolj they sit jointly and as one body for the purpose. After hearing all the evidence in the case, this Joint committee decides the contest and its decision is final, according to the statute. When the committee reaches a decision it files a report and all the I.legislature cau do, under the law, is to adopt the re-

port.-

Hut the question arose as to what would happen in case the Senate j committee was composed of Republi- 1 cans and the House committee of Democrats, and each side should | make a report of its own. This would mean two conflicting reports, one to the Senate and the other to the House. Each house would probably adopt the report of its own committee, and in such case the Democrats, it has been argued, would not !:<■ abb to get anywhere with their) contest. It has been pointed out that this is about what will happen. Hut the Democrats say they have found a means of avoiding such a situation as this. They have consulted attorneys, who have given them opinions as to the law of the case. These attorneys wiy the Joint committee will have to report to a joint session of the House and the Senate. While the statute does not make a specific provision for such a joint session, the lawyers say it is the; only way in which a report could

>e made by the committee.

It is held by these attorneys that a statute can not be so construed as to defeat itself. If the contest committee were permitted to make a divldi'd report, as is likely In this case, they say it would be permitting the statute to defeat its own purpose. This purpose, the lawyers declare, is to decide contests and not to prevent, such contests from being decided. Therefore, they say, the joint committee will have to make its report to

a joint session.

In this case, of course, the Democrats would win, for they will have a majoritj on joint ballot. This would enable them to adopt the report made by the Democratic members of the joint committee and to reject the report of the Republican

members.

This is a new construction of the election contest law. but the Democratic lawyers profess their belief that it is the correct one. Since It became known that the Democrats were taking this view of the law Republican attorneys have been looking into it but they have not had anything to say on the subject as yet.
