C,unty Court House, og the ballots cast in (
the recent election in the Third Dissrics OF
psssaic County. Toe original count Of the
votes showed a tie between Enlty, Rspub-
lican. and Carroll, the Labor aid Demo
cra,i, candidate against him. The break
inc of the tie in Emley g favor has been tness
sole hope OF the Republicans III thor con-
test for the United States SENATORS MP.
The Republican scheme before eaes

failed Of this. and their scheme siNee the

80 Republican votes on JOINT usil5s' ano
