Description

This is an appeal from the Clark Circuit Court in a case in which the contestor was one of ten candidates for the nomination
for sheriff in the Democratic primary in that county. Contestor, the appellant here, was defeated by the contestee by 39 votes
and the contestee was declared the winner. There were 8 other candidates who trailed far below the contestor and the contestee
in the votes they received. The appellant as contestor filed his petition to contest the election, asking for a recount in
all the precincts in Clark County. The contestee answered that the court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter because
the contestor failed to file a proper petition, having named in the title thereof only George E. Clapp as a contestee. The
petition, however, stated in the body the names and addresses of all the candidates in the election contested and a summons
and a copy of the petition were issued by the Clerk of the Clark Circuit Court for service upon all the candidates. The trial court dismissed the appellant's petition for lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter by reason of the failure
of the appellant to name as parties all the candidates involved in the election contested.
