THE OPINION OF
HON. WILLIAM EL WELL,
President Judge of the Wth Judicial Dis
trict, tiled March !f9, 1881.
Hi-Contested Election for Justice of the Peace
in the Borough of Millheim, Centre county,
Pa., at the election in February, 1881.
This case arises out of the election
held in the borough of Millheim, in
February, 1881, for the office of Justice
of the Peace. The return of the officers
of the election gives to F. P. Muser
sixty-nine votes, and to J. 11. lteifsnyder
sixty-eight voles, and declared tbe
former to be duly elected. In due time
and the manner required by law. this
election was contested, upon the ground
that votes were received and counted
for the respondent front persons who
were not qualified to vote, and that the
officers of the election refused and ne
glected to count a vote cast for the con
testant, by a qualified voter. The alle
gallon on the part of the contestant is
that of the legal voles cast. J. 11. Keif
enyder and not F. P. Musser had a
majority.
On itiat question a large amount of
testimony has been taken by an exami
ner, but by the agreement of counsel
the questions to tie considered by the
court have reference to the qualifications
of five persons named, who voted for
the respondent of one person who voted
for the contestant, and also as to the
qualifications of one person whose voto
tor the contestint was not counted by
the election officers.
I proceed to consider first the five
voles cat tor the respondent which are
alleged to have been illegal. John 11.
Kreamer was permitted to vote upon a
registry which is as follows; "John
Kreamer, Inn keeper.'' There was no
evidence given before the examiner in
reference to this man except that he
was twenty three years old. and a son of
Jonathan Kreamer, proprietor of the
National Hotel. There was no evidence
that John ii. Kreamer was not an Inn
keeper, nor that Jonathan Kreamer re
sides in the borough of Millheim. If
proof had been given that such were the
tacts this vote ought to be deducted from
tbe count for the respondent. In the
absence of such evidence we cannot say
that the name as registered was not in
tended for the person whose vote was
taken by the board on the evidence
presented by the K-gj*tcr.
It is objected that John F. Harter
was permitted to vote, being registered
and no affidavits made. I'pon inspec
tion of the records it appears that lo
wa* duly registered, and that lines in
shape of a cross over two names above
his extend down partly on his name.
The two names above are erased, bav- j
ing been twice registered. Tbe name
of Dr. Harter is not erased and was
rightly counted for the respondent. ;
Michael Maize was duly registered. It
is alleged that he had not paid taxes
within two years before the election, j
It appears that he was assessed for the
year* 1878 and 1880 in Millheim, but
did not pay bis tax. He was assessed .
in Millhall, in Clinton county, in 1879. j
It does not appear positively that he
did not pay the tax for that year, prima
facie he was entitled to vote at that
election.
The votes of .Solomon Confer and John
A. Confer were received and counted
for therespondent. These person* were
not registered. They came into the
district to reside on the Ifith day of
December, 1880. The election was held
on the l. r >th day of February, 1881. It
is objected that they had not resided in
tbe district the required length of time
to entitle thetn to vote.
Article VIII of the constitution, in
defining the qualification* of a voter,
provides inter alia that, "He shall have
resided in the election district where
he shall offer to vote, at least, two
months immediately preceding the elec
tion."
In this State tbe word "month" when
used in a statute or contract according
to the uniform decisions of the courts,
and the general understanding of the
people, means a calendar month. The
year being divided into twelve periods
of unequal length, each period being a
month designated by a name, and hav
ing a fixed number of daya, it follows
that tbe number of days embraced with
in any two months, back or forward of
a given day, depends upon what month
follows or precedes that day.
A single bill dated on the 10th day of
June, payable in two months, would fall
•due on the 10th day of August, a period
-of aixty-one days. Sbaply vs. Oarey
-6th, S. fe It. 639. A bill dated tbe 10th
day of July, at two months, would fall
due the 10th day of September, a period
.of sixty-two daya. A similar bill dated
on tbe 10th day of January would fall
duo on tbe 10th day of March, a period
of but fifty-nine day*. And wo it i in
regard to statutes : Whew a statute re
quires a "months notice," a notice of
i hirty days given during a month which
contains but thirty days U a compliance
with the law. People vs. Ulrioh 2d
Abb N. Y. Pr. 28. Hut it would not be
sufficient if given during a month which
contains thirty one days.
The English courts have established
a rule upon this subject which is simple,
uniform and easily understood. It is
this, "In calculating a calendar month,
if the computation commences during
the course of a month, the right method
is to proceed from a given day in one
month to the day with a corresponding
number in the ensuing month, Freeman
vs. Reed 10th -lurist, N. s. 149—8 th,
Law Times N. 8. 458, and the same is
the rule iu this Stale, Commonwealth
vs. Makneil, 8 Casey, 444.
In construing a constitution the words
used are not to he stretched beyond
their tair sense, hut within that range
'lie rule of interpretation must he taken
which best follows out the apparent in
tention. I). Warris on Stat. (559.
That intention is to be gathered from
the words used and the purposes in
tended to he accomplished. In fixing
i lie lime of residence required by
months instead of by days, the trainers
if the constitution manifestly intended
i hat the words should he understood in
respect to that matter, as they are un
derstood in respect to contracts and all
other matters, anil as they are held hy
the courts to mean. As a pari of the
history connected with the changes in
troduced hy the constitutional conven
tion of 1873. from a number of days
residence to that of residence of months,
I quote from the debates all that relates
to the subject.
Mr. McCallister,chairman of the com
mittee on sutlrage, reported the article
above quoted requiring two months resi
dence. Mr. Collins moved to strike out
two months and insert sixty days, say
ing there is no telling what is meant by
two months hut put it sixty days, and
every man can understand it.
Mr. Kuckalew replied, that the com
mittee on sutlrage on all occasions of
computing tune have used the word
"month or months," and for the reason
that the length of time or number of
days in months vary, and will besimph r
and more convenient lo election rdlicers
to compute time from the same day in
any month to the same dav in succeed
ing months, without stopping to calcu
late how many days it will take for the
same space o; tune. We have to cany
these computations over different pe
riods of the year, and we have uniform
ly used the term months as more simple
and convenient for election boards and
for the people."
The amendment was rejected. Ist
Ilebatea of Convention 628.
It is argued by counsel lor respondent
that hy the registration act ol 1874, it
is implied that a residence of sixty-one
days is sufficient to entitle one to vote.
No doubt that is so at the general eiec
lion, because the sixlt-first <1 <y pre
ceding |he election in N -veinber is;., .
monMj hack from that day. The dy in
September to which the sixty one days
reaches hack, will be of the correspond■
ing number of the day of election. Hut
a similar correspondence of hales can
not occur counting back sixty one days
from any day in February, it i. not
two months Ironi the )f,tb day of Decem
ber to the 1 'ith day of February. I con
elude, therefore, that the voles cast hy
Solomon Confer and John A. Confer and
counted for Ihe respondent, ought lo be
deducted from the immls-r of votes re
turned for him, thus reducing his count
to >7 voles.
it is objected against the vote of
Michael I.amey counted for the con
lestant, that he was not a qualified voter,
lie was du'y registered and resided in
the district in the years 1878 9 and 80,
and was assessed each year but did not
pay his tax. It is now contended that
tie may have paid within two years
some old unpaid tax of former years.
It is possible that tli.s may have been
so, but when it is shown that one < tier
ing to vote has paid no tax assessed in
the three preceeding years the burden
ot proof is thrown upon him to show
affirmatively, that he had pant a tax.
The presumption is that he had not.
The vote of Michael I.vmey must be
deducted from the count returned in
favor of the contestant.
David Miller cat ballot No. 109,
which contained the name of the can
didates for the several municipal officers
of the borough. He was a duly regis
tered and qualified voter. His baliot
was received by the officer* of the elec
tion, and counted for ail the officers
except Justice of the Peace. The vole
for that office was rejected and not
counted, because no christian name nor
any initials were prefixed to the vwrnnmr
of the person voted for. The facts in
respect to that ticket, as clearly shown
hy the evidence are, that when presen
ted to Mr. Miller the ticket contained
the words "For Justice of the J'eace,"
immediately under which were printed
or written the name "F. P. Musser,"
when the ticket was received from Mil
ler by the board, the name of F. P.
Musser had been erased and "Keif
snyder" written immediately below.
When the ticket was offered to Mr.
Miller he stated that he wanted to vote
for Keifsnyder instead of Musser, for
Justice of the Peace, and thereupon
fleorge W. Cummings in his presence,
erased the name of "F. P. Musser" and
wrote "Keifsnyder" in its place. The
evidence also shows that at the time of
the election there were other persons
having the surname of "Keifsnyder"
residing in the borough, one or two of
whom were candidates for some other
municipal office than that of Justice of
the peace.
There were no other persons canvass
ing for that office hut F. P. Musser and
J. 11. Keifsnyder, ami no voles were cast
for any persons hearing "by other sur
name than tiiatof Musser or Keifsnyder.
In addition to these facta Mr. Miller
testifies that he intended to vote for J.
11. Keifsnyder. The question presented
by these feats is whether when • ticket
doe* not con tela the whole name, ex
trinsic evidence may be retorted to for
the purpose of showing directly (he in
tention of the voter, or of raising a
reasonable presumption in favor of the
candidate whose name is incorrectly or
only in part contained in the ballot.
That sucli evidence is admissible and
competent, is clearly, and 1 think, u
--tboritirely decided in Iba case of Car
penter v*. Kly 4th Wi. 420, Rrightly's
contested election cases 258.
It wo* there held that "when there is
a doubt an to the person intended to be
voted for, by reoaon of H misspelling of
the Hurnamn or of the addition of a
(lij/Went or erroneous chriatian name, tact*
and circumstances of public notitriety
dehor* the bullota connected with the
election, and the different candidate*,
are competent evidence to ascertain lor
whom the ballot* were intended to be
ca*t." 'l'he fact* to which tin* doctrine
wan applied by an able court, were these :
Matthew 11. Carpenter and George I!.
Kly were candidate* for the otllce of
District Attorney. In a content it ap
peared Unit vote* were ca*t tor I>. M.
Carpenter, M. I). Carpenter, M. T. Cr
center and for "Carpenter," and lor
Mr. Kly by several erroneous initial* and
by the surname "Kly." It wit* shown
that these candidates were the only
person* by those surname* in thecounty
competent to hold the otllce, and from
that fuel it WH* held that it might be
inferred that the vote* having on them
only the surname Carpenter or Kly.
were intended to t>e cast tor Matthew
11. Carpenter and George It. Kly, ami
the vote* were so counted.
In the contested election of Simon
M'.rburger sth Weekly Notes of Cases
.199, evidence was held to be admissible
to show that Simon Marburger was well
known by the name ot Samuel. Gn
such prool voles ral for Samuel were
[ credited to Simon Marburger. The
evidence in each of these case* raised a
reasonable presumption in respect to
the intention of the voter.
It in not necessary to tiring another
case within tlie principle enunciated in
these, that the tacts should tie the same
or similar, each case must depend upon
it* own surrounding circumstances. If
from those circumstances the intention
of the voter can lie arrived at without
violating any rules of evidence, or en
dangering the purity of the ballot bo*,
it is the duly ol the court in disposing
of the case on its merit* to do so.
It is not assuming too much to con
elude that every one of ttie one hun
dred and forty lour persona who cast a
vote in the borough of Miliheim, on the
15th day of February, I**l, knew that
the contest for the office of .lustiee of
the I'earewHs between F. I'. Musser and
.1. 11. Reifsnyder. In the atmenre of
any evidence lending to show that any
vote cast lor Musser or Reifsnyder was
intended lor ut.y other person having
the same surname, the inference is rea
sonahle, that votes lor either of those
surnames was intended lor the candt
date of that name, and when that in
tcrencc i backed by the testimony of
the person who cast the vote, there is
no room lor doubt that it is correctly
drawn.
The rule r.ow is, that where intent is
mateiiai, a party under the statute mny
hirmelt testily to such intent. 2d
Wliart Kv. Sec. 4*2. 954. 11th Ma*s
Rep. 526.
This rule of evidence would not j r
mil u voter to contradict his ballot cat
tor one person, by testifying that he in
tended it lor another; but where there
is smhtgnity by reason of the name of
the candidate riot being correctly wtit
ten, or the 101 l name not given, or by
reason of there being other persons of
■be same name in whole or in part,
there ought not to tie. arid I hold there
is not any rule or |oliry of law which
fort.ii| explanation and proof of inten
tion by the let iriionv of the voter who
cat the ballot. Ills identity can always
t>e ascertained by the number endorsed
thereon. Holding these views as to the
law. alter careful consideration of the
tacts, | conclude that the vote of David
Miller should be counted (or the con
testant, which being added to the vote
returned for him by the board, makes
69 votes, from which i# to be deducted
the vote of Michael Lsiney, leaving
sixty-eight votes for John It. Reifsnyder,
the contestant. From the vote return
ed for F I*. Musser 69 vote*, is deducted
the votes cast by Solomon Confer and
John A. Confer two votes leaving for
hitn 67 legal vote*. Thus giving to John
11. Reifsnyder one majority.
And now March 29th, 1882.it is here
by declared and decreed that at the
election held in and for the borough of
Miliheim, in the county of '"entre, on
the 15th flay ol February, 18,H|, John
11. Reifsnyder having received the high
e*t mimlier of vote*, was duly elected to
the office of Justice of the I'esce. and
it ia further ordered and decreed that
the coats in the case he paid by the
borough of Miliheim, in the county ot
Centre.

the defeat in the Senate of one of their
chief partisan measures, that ia, the bill
reducing the judical circuit* of the State
from eighteen to twelve, which would
hare turned out all the present circuit

over their victory, and eapres* the belief
that the other extreme meaurea of the

a short time, and took no action in re
