As TO TINE OF TESTIMONY ''i
Mr., Hubbard, in nm ingenious argu

attempted to explain how this was.
The clerk was directed to insert these

prised to hear Gen. Golf say that l2
votes had been stricken from him when
there was no proof that they had voted

are on the certified copy filed with the
committee last summer, and that the
clerk OF the contest committee to save
work used the copy contained in the re-.
