COVINGTONELECTION

Thursday, July 12, Robert L. Au-bert filed suit contesting the recentelection for mayor of Covington. Theattorneys are Judge Reid, of AmiteCity, and A. Sidney Burns, of Cbv-

lngton.

The petition recites that the elec-tion was ipromulgated by the mayor

and town council of Covington June

22, 1917, setting forth that 337 voteswere cast, and that .167 were forPaul J. Lacroix and 164 for Robt.L. Aubert for mayor of the town ofCovington. That the emoulments ofsaid office were $650.00 per year,

$1300.00 for the term of two years.The petition states, * * * *

"and your petitioner shows that not-withstanding the returns of said

election and the result as promul-

gated by the 'Mayor and Town Coun-cil for the office of Mayor and TownCouncil, that your petitioner is just-ly and legally elected and entitledto the office of mayor, for the ol-lowing reasons, to-wit:" The namesof the voters casting the votes con-tested are then given, with the rea-sons why said votes were illegal.These reasons are given below in acondensed form:

Edward J. Memory, voted for La-croix. Had not attained the age of21 years June 19, 1917, having beenborn February 2, '1897. Was not aresident of Covington twelve monthspreceding election.

Amadee Guyol, voted for Lacroix.Not legally qualified voter, havingremoved from State in June, 1916,with intention of establlshing a real-dence, domicile and home beyond thelimits of the State of Iaslatama, andhad not returned to state until Oe-tober, 1916.

Louis Lamar, more than twomonths before election moved fromCovington and established a resl-dence beyond Its limits. , lHad not re-sumed residence on or before June19, 1917.

Wade Burns was not a resident ofCovington at any time within twelvemonths preceding said election.

Alfred Rhody was not a legallyqualfied voter. Was born in Eng-land and never became a naturalizedcitizen of the United States, and isnot now a naturalized citizen.

Carl A. R. Fisher was born inswitzerland, and petitioner believesand charges that he never has beenmade a naturaliszed citizen, nor hasproduced to register of voters evl-dence of naturalization and of be-ing a citizen.James J. Ezell was without rigbtto vote at said election and was nota qualified voter on June 19, 1.917,

for the reason that he was at thattime actually confined in the parishjail at Covington gn indictment ofthe grand jury for the crime ofmurder.

Morris Loyd was not a legallyiualified voter. Had removed froerCovington and established a resl-dence in Lewlaburg several monthsbefore the election.

Joseph Federico, was born in theKingdom of Italy, and never has be-come a naturalized citizen.

E. G. DelCorral, in February orMarch, 1917, abandoned rented res-idence in Covington and moved withhis family and furniture to New Or-leans, where he was residing June19, 1917.

W. Schumacker ceased to residein Covington four months beforeJune 19, 1917, with the intention ofpermanently establishing his resl-dence outside of Covington, and hadnot returned or re-established reisedence in Covington by June 19, 1917.

Edward Abadle, previous to elec-tion, to-wit: on the 28&th day ofJune, 1915, had been convicted ofthe crime of larceny, punishable un-der the laws of the state by impris-onment in the Ipenitentiary, and hadnot on June 19, 1917, nor sincethen, been ~pardoned with espressrestoration of franchise.

As to the spoilt ballots, the 1o1-lowing is the gist of the deelambtion:

A ballot voted, deposited andcounted, which was stamped in theemblem at the head of the column

in which .laaeomix's name appears formayor was also stamped oppoite thename of E. W. Jones in the columnof names at the head of which wasthe name of Robt. L. Aubert formayor, as shown in plaintiffs ex-

hibit C. That under instructions

printed on said ballot it was forbid-den to stamp or cross emblem unless

voting a straight ticket, etc,Two ballots were staed, castand counted for Lacrdil ror mayorand seven aldermen, instead o.. six,and that said two votes should hataken from\the votes of Lacrolx for

tayor.

That all of above named partiesvoted and were counted for P. J.

Lacroix for mayor and that none ofthem were entitled to vote. Thatsaid illegal votes and three spoltballots should be deducted from the

number of votes received by Ia-croix, which will reduce the n\am-ber to 152 votes.Petitioner further shows that

Adolph Kohiman was and is a legaly,ualifiled voter, duly registered inthe first precinct of the Third Ward,

had act~Ily res.ded in Covingtonmore tha 12 months presedingJune 19, 1917, and, had paid his polltax. He had deposited his poll taxreceipts with P. J. Icoix to pre-vent their loss or destruction. Thaton June 19 he demanded his polltax receipts, and espeeially the onefor the parish of Orleans for theyear 1915, in order to vote for Au-bert, but that Lacroix refused to give

up said receipts, stating he hadtor dmislalid them, thus *reveat.Koh•Iman from the exercise of hisright to vote. If lo sad voted ihete
