NORTH HURON RESULT. hese ballots, I found, came under
(From the Goderich Signal,)
lrgumertt n tife recount of the
ballots cast in the election of Octo-
ber 29:h in North Huron was heard
uy Jude,:Levels -,n Monday after-
noon of last week. Shirley Denison
of Toronto, and Dudley Holmes of
Wingham, appeared for the appli-
cant, Geo. Spotton (Conservative
candidate), and ' J. A. (formerly
Judge) Barron, of Stratford, and R.
Vanstoae, S,Vingham. were present
for J. W. King (the Progressive
member -elect), Mr. Denison in his
argument laid stress upon the prin-
ciple of secrecy of theballot, while
counsel for Mr. King cited precedents
to show that the intent of the voter
was the vital principle involved.
Judge Lewis released his judgment
at 8 o'clock Thursday evening, a slip
of paper attached bearing his count
ui the 'ballots: King, 5077; Spotton.
5088.
The judgment is as follows:
The returning officers first certi-
firate states that King received 5,342
votes; Spotton, 5,173 votes. Total
1%515 votes.
I .personally handled and recounted
all of said votes, except those of
three polls hereinafter referred to;
and 'I am indebted to the two senior
counsel, who were in the final argu-
ment, --and" to the two _junior counsel,
who were acting all the way through,
for' their_ assistance in my arduous
task. I comfnend them, 'for the fair
and able manner in which they con-
ducted their work throughout.
There were about 140 :ballots, from
45 polls, objected to, and laid aside,
for later consideration. I have al-
lowed and counted, all but five
these ballots, I have sealed up all
of same, in separate envelopes, for
their respective polis. !Scattered
among these ballots objected to,
were a number with counterfoils -on
section 62, ss. 3, of The Dominion
laection Act, and I allow same. they
being otherwise in proper form.
These I consider to Rfave had their
counterfoils left on same by inadver-
tence. said, by
On opening the packets,

Poll No. G, Grey, for King

making for King, 260 votes; for Spot -
ton, 82 votes; an aggregate total of
342 votes. I found that all the bal-
lots had their counterfoils attached.
At once, without looking at same, or
allowing same to be looked at, except
sufficiently to assure myself and
counsel for the candidates what they
were, 1 .scaled same up again. and re-
served same for further. consideration.
Argument of eounsct was delivered
on November 16th, 1925.
In forming the conclusion that I
have reached as to these three polls
and ballots therein, I have consulted
a great many authorities, and espec-
ially refer to the judgment of Jus-
tices Idington, Duff, Anglin, Brodeur
and \fignault, of the Supreme Court
in the West Calgary- Electi n case,
vol. 64, page 235, of Canada Supreme
Court Reports. This report says on
page 254: -
Art this late day, it is strange that
citizens of this country- shotild not be
familiar with the manner of voting.
And however regrettable it may be,
that the will of the majority should
not prevail, still that will must:be.ex-
oressed in the required manner, .Oth-
erwise it is of no effect."

- (FORMERLY THOS. FERGUSON'S)
page 7, of Ontario Law Reports, Jus- lice 'Logic says:
tice Clute, delivering justice, says:
"The object of the Act is to secure
complete secrecy in.voting. The coun-
terfoil is destroyed as soon as the
deputy returning officer identifies the
number of it, with the tfumber op-
posite the voter's name. The clause
requiring the officialf stamp, prevents
fraud, and gives.security to those
having the right to vote, by ens? r-
ing the use only of ballots issued by
the returning officer, the identity
of which shall be ` certified by the
official seal, furnished by the
Clerk of the Crown in Chancery
stamped on each ballot.
"To ,permit ballot papers not so
stamped, to be used, would, in the
language of Lindley, LJ., approved
by Lord- Blackburn in the Young
Case, 'in effect be repealing. the Act
of Parliament,' and would deprive
the publicof that protection which
„Parliament intended 'to secure for
them."
In Owen Sound Case. Ontario Law
Reports, Vol. 27, Page 230,. Justice
T.ennox says:
"Secrecy is now a basic principle
of our municipal"voting; and if it is
important in a municipal contest, it is
vital in a vote, upon a tense social
question such as this.,..it is the
statutory method that gives meaning
and validity to the vote."
r also refer to South Waterloo
Provincial Election, vol. 55, Ontario
Law 'Report; (1924), page 25.0. Here
it says, that where irregularities at
the polls :are traceable to ovetsight
or mistake, or downright careless-
ness or ignorance . of the officers
responsible, it is impossible to say
that the election .was conducted in.
accordance with the principles laid
down in the•:Act.
In. the Windsor Case. 1924, Ontario
Law Reports` 'vol. 55. page 2::,- Jos.
"If the election was not conducted:;.
in accordance with the principles;
laid down in the Act, the saviteg
clause does not apply, and the
election must be voided."
Justice 'Strong in Haldfmand Case,
'Supreme Court of Canada, 15,
page 515, says:
I hold secrecy to be imposed as
an absolute rule of public policy, and
that cannot be waived."
My own opinion is, that secrecy is
the basic principle of the Act, and
that the loss is vital, if it is not
present. Secrecy is fundamental, and
of the first necessity, and the very
life and meaning of the Act.
The saving clause in section 62.
ss.3, is governed by the word, "inad-
vertence,' and I interpret this dlause
to ;mean that. if a D.R.O..unwitting-
ly. by mistake, forgets to remove a
counterfoil, in the manner thata
bank.telfer snakes a mistake, in
counting a large parcel of bank
bills, the DJRLO. or the jud"ge,...taking
the recount, may retitedy this omis-
sion, but ,this cannot- possibly in-
clude the fault of a deputy returning
officer, who, either through wilfully
mistaking the law, or through care-
lessness or ignorance, leaves a whole
part of ballots, with counterfoils on.
T. accordingly, do not count, the
ballots 'for the saki three polls andI
lr•ar.e same "sealed up,. 'as above
stated.
As one of the principle points in-
volved was the 'non-compliance .of
three returning officers .with the re-
quirements of the statute, there'
should be no costs to either party.
