on Republican's Petition
For a Probe
By Associated Press
Philadelphia. Jan. B.—Upon pe
tition lof E. N. Carpenter, Repub
lican, who, according to official re
turns, was defeated for Congress in
the Eleventh district by John J.
Casey, Democrat, to declare illegal
the soldier vote cast in the Novem
ber election. the State Supreme
Court yesterday granted a rule to
show cause why a writ of mandamus J
shall not be issued and made it re-'
turnable January 13, when the Lu-;
seme county judges, who were made :
respondents' in the petition, must an- ;
swer Carpenter's charges, that the
ballots as cast in l.uzerne county.
gave him the election by eighteen
votes.
Prothonotary E. J. Williams, of
Luzerne county, refused to certify
the soldier vote, claiming the vote
was not cast and the returns not
made in conformity with the acts of
Assembly. The Court directed Wil- 1
liams to certifv the returns, which j
he did, and when the Court can-1
■ vassed the vote the returns from j
sixty-six of the seventy-three army
cantonments were thrown out. lie- ;
turns from only those camps in
which ten or more votes were cast
were counted by the Court. This gave
Casey a plurality of forty-two votes.
