In COUNTING the vote Of this county by
the Board Of Supervisors no material
discrepancies from the results already
published in the HERALD were found.
The full amount of votes rejected because
of their being irregularly printed was
much smaller than supposed. There are
only one hundred and sixty-nine OF them.
This puts the true Republican majorities
at about four thousand. The rejected
votes, of course, should have been
counted by the Election Boards, but
the Board of Supervisors have not
the power to go behind the
returns. These irregular votes are there
fore fled away as evidence in case of q
contest springing up turning upon these
vote 9. The only probability of such a
thing is in the case OF Judge Sullivan.
Should the count between him and Judge
Works get down to narrow quarters il
may be necessary to fall back on the ese
vote s rejected because of little inform.
ality in their printing. That they would
be ordered cou lted according to the
intent of the voters iy not at al
dubious. The matter has been before
the Courts in the past and is rel
adjudicata already. The vote on these
candidates as counted is: Works
1929, Sullivan 1O,329-or a plurality
for Works of 4,600. Taking off the 16s
votes above referred to will leave
Works plurality at 4 4,43l. Works rar
