Michigan Supreme Court May 18, 1907, Calendar No. 22,103 (Dickinson v. Board of Canvassers)

Hooker, J.

The relator and one Paquette were rival candidates for the office of county treasurer of Cheboygan county. The returns of the inspectors of the various precincts gave the relator a majority of 85 votes. When the board of county canvassers convened, Paquette presented a petition for a recount of the ballots cast in the townships of Ellis, Forest, Mackinac, Koehler, and Nunda.
