BE
As a result of the election of Hom
er A. Banta as a member of the coun
cil of Haines a peculiar contingency
has arisen.
Mr. Banta was judge of election,
having been appointed by Judge Cush
man. and it is a question as to whe
ther this will invalidate him as a
councilman.
Mr. Banta was not a candidate for
the council. Although nominated, he
handed his withdrawal notice to the
secretary of the nominating meeting
and on election day posted notice to
the effect that he was not a candidal
for the council in conspicuous places
in the polling booth.
Despite this announcement. Mr.
Banta's friends persisted in voting for
him and he received a very flattering
testimonial to his popularity, running
second on the ticket.
it Is to be hoped that Mr. Banta is
legally entitled to serve in the pos
ition to which he was elected. In
case he is invalidated, however, Carl
Bjornstad will be on the council. Mr.
Bjornstad possesses the complete con
fidence of the voters of Haines.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Rourke and Har
ry Rourke arrived from Seattle on
the Cottage. Mr. Rourke, who is
section foreman at Caribou, has been
below for some time with his family.

HAINES ELECTION IS PROTESTED
A protest has been filed with
Judge E. E. Cushman at Juneau a
gainst the result of the incorporation
election.
The protest alleges that several
men cast their votes who were not
eligible to vote. The protest also
cites that H. A. Banta, a judge of
the election, was a candidate for the
council.
It is not thought probable that
Judge Cushman will take any action
on the protest. It all the men pro
tested were counted out incorporation
would still carry by a big majority.
Mr. Banta was not a candidate for
the council and the votes cast for
him were done so regardless of his
withdrawal notices.
