their contest for the seat in the next House of
Representatives belonging to the delegate from
Utah Territory, have been reversed by the
action OF Clerk Adams OF the House. At the
side track, and Cannon was the Contestant.
The governor OF Utah gave q certificate OF
election to Campbell. Cannon then procured
from the l s. court at Salt Lake document
giving the actual vote cast for each OF the eau
didates. This showed that Cannon had re-
ceived about e,G60 majority. Mr.. Cannon filed
this document as his certificate. and the CLERK
awarded him the seat by placing his name on
the roll. Mr.. Cannon has drawn hts pay as Il
member Of the next House since the An OF
March last. and when the House meets he will
take his seat. This will compel Campbell 10
become the contestant and to carry his cas-,
before the House itself, as nothing short OF a
decision OF that body can oust Cannon. Ii Is
cia1nf In behalf OF Clerk Adams that he had
very high and able legal advice to support his
decision.
