'INI'ERPREI'ING THE BALLOT 101'.
The esteemed Palladium hasthis able
legal treatise upon Connecticut’s unique
political situation. It is presumably
from the pen of Judge Harrison. It
say’s :
The decision of Judge Hall of the
superior court in the East Lyme eon-
testgd election case is most important.
It supplements the ruling of the su—
preme court in the Hartford case and
together they form a very helpful body
of precedents, which will direct politi-
cal parties in conducting elections here-
after and stimulate the individual voter
to exercise great care in assuring him-
self of the validity of the ballots he
casts. It is not improbable that hedged
about by these decisions and possibly
others 'to follow, the law will be found
most effective in operation.
Judge Hall’s decision is written in
lucid, vigorous English. His opinions
as expressed indicate the unfaltering
conclusions of his own mind. His per-
sonal knowledge of the history of the
act and objects it was designed to attain
gave him exceptional advantages in the
consideration of the subject. What-
ever may be the practical outcome of
the decision as effecting political parties
in this state, no one can question the
great ability and judicial fairness, dis-
played in Judge Hall’s opinion.
Certain democratic jotunals, without
giving the opinion any study, have
reached the superficial conclusion that
it greatly favors their party and ulti-
mately must result in a conceded ma-
jority for Judge Morris. The Palla-
dium questions this. It is simply a
part of the programme of brag and
bluster by which the democratic lead-
ers have endeavored to shout Judge
Morris into office. The eagerness with
which they hail an opportunity to in-
crease his apparent majority of twenty-
six shows how troubled they are by
fears of its genuineness ; while their
readiness new to “go behind the re-
turns,” notwithstanding they’ have
steadily maintained the moderators’
action to be final, puts the democrats
in a very amusing light.
It is true that Judge Hall holds that
the mum of any person for any o‘ficeto
be voted for thereon, other than the
person thereon named for such office”.
Judge Hall’s decision does not settle
the question of the validity of the
Bridgeport “ ink-spooked ballots or of
the ballots containing the word “ For.”
These points lie outside the discussion
of the East Lyme c‘ase. The judge takes
occasion to say, however, thatink specks
and unnecessary words inadvertently
printed on the ballot fail to vitiate the
ballot unless it can be proved that they
were designodtoidentify voters or could
be so used, and thus effect an evasion of
the law.
Judge Hall’s finding in relation to
folded ballots is important as showing
the judicial intention of strict con-
struction. Eight republican ballots,
with corners turned down alike, the
whole then folded diagonally, and again
thr ou h the center—each ballotthus be-
ing fo ded one and three-quarter inches
square—were declared illegal an the
ground that the effect of these striking-
ly unusual folds was a distinguishing
mark. While the act does not In terms
late the voter as to the folding of a
be ot, it 15 prescribed that “If any on-
velope or ballot shall contain any mark
or device so that the same may be iden-
tified 1n such a manner as to indiCate
who might have cast the same, it shall
not be counted.” The judge we'll says
of the folding of ballots 1n an unusual
way, T“l1is n03 el and ingenions device
to evade the law cannot be permitted to
succeed."
Judge Hall has construed '-the] 2,1w not
liberally, but strictly The decision of
the supreme court 1n the matter of the,
“citizen’ s ticket” 1n Hartford undoubt-
edly guided him and until that tribunal
indicates a moderate interpretation of
the new ballot act interpretations of
its requirements will be along the same
line of strict construction. As to the
effect 1n decidin what men are to man
the state gov er nt next year, the
republicans have reason to believe the
decision favors rather than hurts their
prospects. Their position, how ever, is

ballots 011 which was printed no name i
of a candidate for judge of probate, the l
space being filled with a paster or a.
name being written therein. 15 illen'all
asto that candidate. Well and good.' .
While it remains to be seen whethcrl
the supreme court will substantiate this 3
finding, it certainly looks like good
law. If it- is, let it stand, whatever the
results may be, or whatever party's?
prospects are brightened. .'
But while it is true that under this '
decision prohibition votes which are
needed to make up General Mcrwin’s
successful total may be held to be illc-
gal by reason of no name being print- .
'e'd under the title of the judge of pro- ,'
bate, it is also true that over the state
were cast democratic ballots, probably ,
5,000 in number, similarly defective. I
An investigation to find the prohibition i
votes will reveal the faulty democratic
ballots. The republican managers a
few weeks before the November elec- .
tion suspected the possibility of votes i
being vitiated by neglect- to print the 3
names of candidates for all offices, and f
issued orders to local authorities to be I
on the safe side. The democrats, on
the other hand, sent out thousands of
ballots defective under such a decision l
(should the legislature invite interpre- l
tation of the courts as to the state' ofii- f
cers, and Judge Hall’s position be sub-
stantiated). Cornet-ion of results would Q
therefore strip Judge Morris of a great
number of votes, probably effecting his '
defeat even with the prohibition votes
lost to General Merwin. -..’:.1reover, a;
recount might unseat two, perhapsf
three congressmen; possibly change‘
I
the complexion of the senate, and work :
havoc elsewhere. If Judge Hall’s de- .
cision be a. democratic windfall, it isn’t '
at the. 1'01'111111ica11s’ expense.
Much of Judge Hall’s reasoning is '
intensely practical. He shows that by .
tolerating remiss and designing breach~
es of strict ('1bservancc, the law can be
broken down and the object of secrecy ‘
lost. As to the blank on the prohibi- ‘
tion votes, the declaration of the su- .
picmc court leave .5 no question as to »
its illegality. “What 1s the ballot? It
consists not merely of the paper of the
required size and quality, but also the i
required printing thereon. No parti
may be omitted. If the heme of the 1
party may be omitted, so may the name
of the candidate or office. If either of
the last two is left out its validity as a l
ballot i s destroyed."
Nor does the insertion of a name by l
of the blanks make the ballot legal.
Even by the strictest construction of
the Con lecticut or Australian, any sc- 3
cr'ct ballot law, in fact, is not possible i
to wholly preclude the. identification of
purchased ballots by the announce-
ment in the count of a certain number i
of votes for “Richard Boc” or other '
fictitious candidate, voted for by the
purchased voter in evidence that
he did as ‘ he agreed.
Should then the courts concede that-ha]-
lots may have any number of blanks
upon- them, to be filled in with pastors,
the evil of . identification would be great-
ly increased and the law become a farce
in its attempt to break off relations be-
