Thus, if Barry had but obtained equal vote in
these Jackson counties, lie would have been elect
led by 46l majority On the supPoston tina this
loss of jackson votes was in the same proportion
throughout the state, the actual Jackson majority
was 57s2.
But to get at the actual Jackson vote in these
fourteen counties must add together all the l.
ior,ies obtained by the members elect,wich could
not fall short OF 80 in each county 700 in all. IT.,
therefore, Barry had got only the same vote in
those counties that the jackson candidates for the
Legislature did, lac would have been elected by
majority OF at least IIGI. If there was proper
tional difference between his and the jackson
strength throughout the state, the actual majority
for Jackson in the whole state is 1929. That it Is
oyer 5000, we verify believe.
