Under the caption "Victory for Fair Elections," The Pittsburgh Press says: "First trial of election officials on charges growing out of the primary election of last September has resulted in victory for -the principle of fairness and accuracy in the counting of votes. Four members of a board from the Twentieth district of the Tenth Ward pleaded guilty yesterday before Judge Graff of negligently performing their duties. One was sentenced to seven months in jail and the remaining three were placed on probation for 'two years.

"Palpable discrepancies between the count and the total of the ballots as actually cast were laid to negligence rather than criminal intent, and charges embracing the latter suspicion were dropped. That procedure was satisfactory to the Allegheny County Elections association, activity of which is mainly responsible for the revelations of the evils attendant upon the last primary. "The errors disclosed through investigation of the board which pleaded guilty are indicative of a serious situation. Only one of the quartet knew anything of his duties. When he became too intoxicated to perform his functions, the others were at sea.

Officials so little qualified should have no part in such an important phase of government as the supervising of voting and the counting of ballots. "Inefficiency may lead to as grievous a miscarriage of the will of the people as direct crookedness. Before admitting the trio to probation Judge Graff very properly ascertained that they had resigned from the election board. There should be some provision of legal disqualification for further service in such circumstances. won the first round, the district attorney's office should now push vigorously for the trial of the nearly 200 other officials Indicted subsequent to the September primary.
