RETURNS SHOW
'LAW VIOLATIONS
Continued from Pago 1
iu 'he Fourth Division, which At
torney-General iGrigsby sayg can
not legally be tabulated because thel
returns were not certified to. Utica
returns purport to give Sulzer 4 an
Wickersham 13, and Vault to give
Sulzer 2 and Wickersham 8.
The returns from Utica and Deer
•uf in the Second Division, Chog
iuu£ and Xushagak in the Third Di
fis'on, and Dead wood jar the Fourth
Division have been, challenged by
supporters of Sulzer on account of
violations of the Australian bal
lot law. In none of these precincts
were official ballots used, and in
none of them wag a certificate set
ting forth the reasons for the fail
ure to use official ballots, guch as
the law sayg "must" accompany the
returns, sent in. These precincts
give Wickersham a total of 72 votes
and Sulaer a total of 25. El
iminating all of them but Utica,
no* included in foregoing figures,
from the totals would give an offi
cial result as follows:
Sulzer 6,434; Wickersham 6410
—a Sulzer plurality of 24.
The Alaska election law, which
prov'des that a resident of any Di
vision can Vote at any precinct,
within that Division, a provision
that was numerously followed in
the Second Division, provides also
for a legislation of all who vote,
and directs that the officers of elec
tion shall not receive the vote of
any one who 5vag not first register
ed. Jn the Second Division there
was no registration in any precinct.
This Division is tabulated as giv
ing Wickersham 213 plurality, its
elimination would leave Sulzer with
a plurality of 199 even if the ob
jections to the votes of the pre
fects in other Division^ were not
sustained. |- m [ [S;JJ!

Attorney-General Grigshy yester

board that it had no legal right to
pay any attention to thfl returns

gave Wickorshaon 8 votes and Sutee
2. It < elimination has no effect on
