VOTE FOR W. A. COUNTS TO BE CONTESTED Failed to File Expense Account Day Following Election?Had No Expense and Thought No Report Had to Be Made. WheK the executive committee - - - ' A T il 1 met on Thursday it was iouna mat Mr. W. A. Counts, a candidate for the legislature and who had second place in the number of votes cast, had failed to file an expense account. He was under the impression that where he had no expense there was no account and he could not file one. But it is required that a statement be filed that there was no expense. The committee took recess and gave Mr. Counts opportunity to file the statement before declaring the result for county officers. When the committee met after the recess Mr. H. H. Blease appeared for Mr. H. H. Evans and stated that he desired for his client to contest the vote cast for Mr. Coiunts. The Committee declared Mr. Counts a nominee, Mr. E. S. Blease, a member of the commit-' tee, stating that a decision of tlie supreme court sustained such action " " ^ tTaorc f3 crr\ ill & siminar case sumc j Mr. Evans has notified Mr. Counts ' and sent a copy to Chairman Hunter that he would appeal to the state committee which meets in Columbia Tuesday. The county committee has not passed on the case further than to declare Mr. Counts the nominee. For the information of the readers The Herald and eNws quotes in full the opinion of the supreme court referred t<* by Mr.' E. S. Biease and j gives the full text as the opinion isj brief. The case came up from Calhoun county and was heard at the April term of the supreme court in jp 1910. McLaughlin vs. Zeigler. 1. Elections^?Contests?Notice of B protest and contest of primary elec-1 tion must be served on respondent. 2. Primary Elections?Under the provisions of the act, 24 Stat., 949. :.* requiring a candidate in a primary > election to make a pledge that he would render under oath immediately after the election an itemized statement of all further moneys spent or provided by him in said election, a statement filed on the second day after the election that he had ^ spent no further money, held sufficient. Mr. Justice Woods dissents. 5 ' Petition in the original jurisdiction * ** ' * m T lt.T Ol tJIIS conn Dy I. ?l. lUCbitugmia 1UI gS8 writ of certiorari against J. L. I Zeigler and state executive commitfg:, tee. McLaaghlin and Zeigler were both . " candidates for supervisor m Calhoun county. McLaughlin contested the election of Zeigler on the ground that he had not filed in time after the election a sworn statement of further moneys spent or provided in said election. The statement was sworn to and filed on'September 1st O.CK n mn affoy +V? Ci alo/i^inTI nn Alt. irf XJfJ ?/ Ui* OXVVi VliW V&VWAVA* v** -August 30th. It was to the effect that no further moneys had been spent by him. The statute requires the following pledge: "I hereby pledge that I will not give nor spend money, or use intoxicating liquors for the purpose of obtaining or influencing votes, and that T of tlio f?ftnf>lnsiinn -nf +.h#? cam paign and before the primary elecr;. tions, render to the clerk of the .court or (secretary of state as hereinbefore provided) under oath, an itemized statement of all money spent or provided by me during the campaign for campaign purposes up .to that time, and I further pledge that I will, immediately after the primary election or elections that I am I n V/ I UN Tuesday King Vidor offe ent Play mm a The Jack A Story of the IV of Action, Lau; Se I a candidate in, render an itemized statement, under oath,, showing all further moneys spent or provided by me in said election." The county executive committee dismissed the contest, which action was affirmed on appeal by the state executive committee. Messrs. R. H. Welch and J. M. Walker for petitioner. Messrs. J. A. Merrit and Glaze and Herbert contra. October 21, 1910. Per curiam. This was an application for a writ of certiorari addressed to the court in the exercise of its original jurisdiction. There are two reasons why the writ .should be denied. , 1. Because there was no notice of protest served upon J. L. Zeigler, and , 2. Because there was substantial i compliance with the requirements of the act. Petition dismissed. Mr. Justice Woods. I concur in dismissing the petition on the ground that there was no notice of protest served on J. L. Zeigler, respondent. I dissent, however, from the conclusion that there was substantial compliance with the statute in filing the statement. The statutory require- j ment is that the statement made after i I the election shall include and em- j brace "all further moneys spent and | provided" by the candidate in the | election. In limiting the statement | to money spent and not including J money provided, I think Mr. Zeigler j did not comply with the statute, and j it seems to me to hold that the vari-! ance was not substantial opens the door to evasion of a statutory provision vitally affecting the purity of elections. This is the full opinion of the supreme court in this case from Cal> houn county rendered in 1910. Meeting of Young People's societies, i ' The Newberry county convention !
