WORD LACKS BOND Sheriff Accused of Attempt to Make County Pay Cost. RECOUNT PLEAS HEARD Hurlburt Asks Court to Dismiss Case When Expense Guaranty Is Missing Two Laws Are Agued as Basis of Suit. Charging Sheriff Tom M. Word with an attempt to force a recount at the expense of the-taxpayers of Multno mah County, Attorney Dan Malarkey, for Sheriff -elect T. M. Hurlburt, yes terday made a fiery argument before Circuit Judge Kavanaugh on his mo tion to dism.ss the Word election con test. Judge Kavanaugh took the motion under advisement, saying he would render a decision next week. Mr. Malarkey based his charge on the failure of Mr. Word to furnish a bond of $2000 to guarantee the ex penses of the proposed recount, as provided under the so-called corrupt practices act. Attorney A. E. Clark, for Mr. Word, said the election con test was filed under the provisions of the election law passed in 1854 which does not require the election contestee to put up a bond. That cer tain provisions of this old law are superseded by the -corrupt practices a5t, passed at the election in 1908, was the contention of the Hurlburt at torneys. Old Larr'a Differences Cited. Mr. Hurlburt was represented in court by Attorneys Dan Malarkey and Waldemar Seton, and Mr. Word by A. E. Clark and Paul P. Farrens. The contest filed by Mr. Word said Mr. Malarkey, "charges fraud In each Drecinct in the county. xne charges are general and sweeping and could net come under tne old law, which provides for a recount only on grounds of 'erroneous counting. It is our contention that tne laus law, the so-called corrupt practices act, has superseded the law or 18D4, which should no longer be operative. The old law did not provide for bond to be put up by the contestant. Mr. Word did not put up a bond. But in the contest which he has filed he charges fraud in each of the precincts, and election Irauas are cieany pro vided .for only in the corrupt practices act of 1908. Questions of Cost Discussed. Should this contest be allowed, and should the recount be held, who will pay the expense? If the recount showed that Mr. Hurlburt is elected by 171 votes, as the official count and the reDort of the canvassing Doara show, we couldn t collect a farming not a penny from the man who comes In Mere and Hies tnis contest. - In rebuttal Mr. Clark declared tnat the general provisions of the corrupt practices act bear no relation to the proceedings for an ordinary election contest. The old law," he said, "provided Kneel flcallv for contests in the election of countv officers. . it proviuea wr rAntMta between condidates as well as contests filed by electors on behalf of candidates. The corrupt practices ant covers the detection and punish ment of frauds and dishonesty and does not apply to the ordinary con test such as we have filed. Decisions Are Invoked. "If two laws cover the same ground. or conflict in any way, the new one acta to repeal the old one. But in this case the laws cover different ground. The eld law was for contests where it wnn merely a Question of who re celved the most votes. The new law nrovldes a means - of instltutin nroceedines to investigate election frauds." Mr. Malarkey cited numerous court decisions to befr out his contention that there was a conflict between the two laws and that only the more re cent one should te operative. "What security have we," said Mr. Malarkey. in summing up his argu ments. "that Mr. Word will pay the expenses of a recount if it should go against him? There is no provision In the old election law regarding the expenses of a recount. Mr. Word is Money TO LOAN We are prepared to make First Mortgage Loans on improved Portland . 'real estate.
