BEACH OR BARNYARD? 1 BROTH Kit OF SI1ER1F TRAFTON CONFIRMED BV JUDGE SMITH AS WATSON-MALE'S MAYOR, Judge Smith rendered a decision on Saturday in tha election contest over the mayoralty of Watsonville, which was heard here last week. He finds that four of the eig'ht votes by which W. A.

Trafton was declar ed elected mayor on May 8th last, were illegally marked, but that Mr. Trafton still has a majority of four oyer his opponent, R. P. Quinn, who contested the election. After waiting several days for counsel for Quinn to submit authorities tending to show that any of his rulings were incorrect, Judge Smith states that none such have been shown that change his view of the law or the correctness of his rulings.

He therefore confirms the election of Trafton, who defeated Quinn, the former mayor, in a similar contest last year, which was carried to the Supreme Court. The following is the text of the decision: This is an contest, involving the office of Mayor of the City of Watsonville. Upon the canvass of the returns of the city election held on the 8th day of 1905. the Board of Aldermen of said city declared that W. A.

Trafton, the defendant and contestee herein, was duly elected to said office of mayor by a majority of eight votes. Soon thereafter and within the time provided by law, the plain- tiff and contestant, R. P. Quinn, who1 was the opposing candidate for said office, instituted this contest. Upon a recount of the ballots in the Superior Court, and after the rejection of 'all ballots (held to be Illegal, it was found that the said W.

A. Trafton had received a majority of four votes over his opponent, R. P. Qr.inn, the said contestant. It is not necessary at this time to discuss in detail the numerous legal questions raised, by counsel during the hearing of the contest, regarding the disputed ballots and the rulings of the Court in reference thereto, as such discussion would necessitate a lengthy review of the various statutes governing elections in this State, and the numerous decisions of our Supreme Court construing such statutes.

Suffice It to say. I am clearly convinced that the rulings made during the hearing were correct, and that no authorities have been furnished by counsel since then that tend to change my view of the law as then determined, or the correctness of the various rulings then made. After having carefully recounted and passed upon all the ballots cast at said election, with, the result above stated, it follows that the contestant should take notihing by reason of these proceedings and that the same should be dismissed; and that W. A. Trafton, the contestee herein, should tie given judgment confirming his election to the office of mayor of the said City of Watsonville, as prayed for in his answer.

It is therefore ordered that findings be prepared and judgment entered accordingly. Dated, June 10th, 1905. The laxative effect of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is so agreeable and so natural that you do not realize it is the effect tit a medicine. For sale by J. G.
