SCHOOL CONTEST CASE.
Judge Reed's Decision in Favor of Murray
and Smith for 8chool Director!.
Judge John W. Reed has given his
decision In the Wlnslow township con
test ovor tho election of school direc
tors lust February. We publish the
court's opinion In full:
OPINION OP THE COURT.
Rend, P. J., April lHh, 1503 This
Is a contest ovor the election of school
directors of Wlnslow township at the
February election last. There wore two
to bo elected for the terra of three
years and one for the torm of one year.
Six candidates were voted for. O. H.
Brondhond, James Roborts and Bonj.
Hnugh received 144, 129 and 115 votes
respectively, and Allen C'athers, A. C.
Murray and P. A. Smith received 144,
124 and 112 votes respectively. There
was no torm designated on the ballots
cast for tho first three candidates
named, but there was on the ballots cast
for the last thrco candidates named.
Allen Cathors and A. C. Murray, for the
three years term, had 144 and 124 votes
respectively, and P. A. Smith, for the
ono year term, had 112 votes. The
election ofllcors certlflod that the three
persons having the highest number of
all the votes cast were duly chosen, and
Issued their certificate of election to O.
II. Broadhcad and Allen Cathors for the
thrco years term and to James Roberta
for tho duo yeur term. In this they dis
regarded the fact that no term was des
ignated on tho ballots cast for either O.
II. Brondhead or James Roberts. The
elTurt to support this action of the elec
tion officers on tho ground that there
was a "common understanding among
tho voters that tho two candidates re
ceiving the highest number of votes
were to be declared elected for the
three years term, and tho candidate re
cuiviug tho nuxt highest numbor of
votos was to be declared elected for tho
ono year torm," cannot succeed. Where
some of the votes cast have tho terra
designated on them and somo havo not,
those having no term designated on
thom must bo rejected. This question
has been before our Supreme Court on
several occasions, and in each Instance
It was held that the votes without any
terra designated on thom could not bo
conn tod.
Mllligau's Appeal, 8(1 Pa. 222; In ro
Contested Election of GUleland, 00 Pa.
224; Chamberlln ot al. v. Hartley et al.
152 Pa. 644. Tho Intention of tbe voter
must appear from an Inspection of his
ballot; It cannot be proven by parol or
oy resort had to extraneous evidence.
Tho common understanding has noth
ing whatsoever to do with tho logality
of tho ballot cast. The second section
of tho act of April 11th, 18fi2, P. L. 471,
provides that if tho voters "shall i
neglect to designate, on tholr tickets,
the torm of office for which eagh porson
voted for is a candidate, then-tho por
son or persons having the highest num
ber of votes shall be declared elected
for the longest term or terms; the next
highest In vote, after filling of the
longest term, shall be declared elected
for tho next longest torm, and so on,
till all the terms vacant shall bo filled."
But this act is only operative when
there are no ballots on which the term
is designated.
In Chamberlln V. Hartley, supra,
six directors wore to be chosen, two for
a term of throo years, two for two years
and two for ono year. The ballots of
tho six parsons having a majority of all
the votes cast, failed to designate the
term, but tho six persons having a mi
nority of all tbe votos cast had a major
ity of all the votes on which the torm
was designated, and the court held that
the latter six persons were duly elected;
also that It was Incompetent to show
that It was tho common understanding
regarding tho first six porsons nominat
ed that the persons receiving the high
ost numbor of all the votos should have
tho three years term, the porsons re
ceiving tho next highest number should
havo the two years torm, and the per
sons receiving the next highest number
should havo the one yoar term. Tbe
Tho court further held that the act of
April 11, 18f2, bad no application where
some of the voters have designated on
tholr tickets tho term of office for
which eucb porson. voted for is a candi
date. That case rules this ono, and is
directly In point In all Its essential
features.
The contention that the "election of
the entire ticket at the February elec
tion In Wlnslow township should be de
clared illegal for tho reason that the
constable of said township fallod and
neglected to glvo ton days notice by
written or printed handbills of said
election as by law be la required to do,"
cannot bo considered for the reason that
the legality of said election Is not prop
erly before the court. This question
only could bo considered upon a contest
duly inaugurated for that purpose.
And now, April 11th, 1903, aftor full
ttud careful consideration of the matters
involved In this contest, It Is adjudged
and decreed that A. C. Murray was
duly elected school director for the
term of three years at the election held
on the 17 th day of February, 1003, In
the school district of Wlnslow township,
and that P. A. Smith was duly elected
school director at Bald election for the
term of one year. Instead of the con
tentees, O. II. Broadbeud and James
Roberts. The cost of this proceeding
to. be paid by the school district of Wins
low township. By the Court, .
John W. Reed,
President Judge.
