CANVASS OP VOTES
SEEMS UNCERTAIN
*
Only Provision On Matter Fixes Time
for October Under Delegate
Law of 1906.
Repeated inquiries have been made
since the election concerning the
time of canvassing the votes. Inter
est In this is due largely to the fact
that returns from remote precincts
will be late in coming in and there
fore may not be counted at all. They
certainly will not if the canvassing
board meets before they arrive.
The law on canvassing votes in
Alaska delegate and legislative elec
tions is a queer one. The only pro
vision of existing law on the sub
ject fixes the time in October, which
doesn’t fit very well now that the
general election is held in November.
The law of May 7, 1906, providing for
the election of a delegate in congress
from Alaska contains the following on
the canvass of votes:
“The governor, the surveyor gener
al, and the collector of customs for
Alaska shall constitute a canvassing
board. The said canvassing board
shall commence the performance of
its duties at the office of the gover
nor within ten days after the third
Tuesday of October in each year in
which an election is held under and
by virtue of this act.”
The organic act, creating a legisla
tive assembly for Alaska provides
that the election of delegate to con
gress shall be held in November in
stead of August, but that all other pro
visions of the act of 1906 shall con
tinue in force. Sec. 5. This, of nec
essity, calls for a canvass of the votes
in October. The organic act further
provides that the election of mem
bers of the legislature shall be held
inn November and that the election
and canvass of votes shall be as pro
vided in the act of 1906. Sec. 17.
This, therefore, calls for a canvass of
the votes in October.
All this is not new. Two years
ago the newspapers called attention
to the fact that when Hon. James
Wickersham pitchforked his organic
act together he framed it so as to call
for an election in November and a
canvass of votes in October. He has
had two years in which to have con
gress correct the muddle, but evident
ly could not see enough glory in such
a routine matter and therefore let his
slipshod law slip along as it was. The
legislature has no power to correct
the error.
But now suppose the canvassing
board should say it has no power to
meet after October to count the No
vember votes? Certainly, it has no
power conferred on it by law. Why,
then, Alaska’s True Friend could not
get a certificate of election except
from the Progressive Democratic
Committee.
