the instructions issued to United States
supervisors before the recent elec-
tion was one requiring them
to keep q record Of all ballots
thrown out and the causes

900 OF the 2, $50 precincts in the State,
and their reports show that the
number OF ballots thrown out av-
eraged seven to the precinct,
making a total Of about 10000. This
does not include the protested ballots
which the law requires to be returned
to the circuit clerks and which are
known to number about 5000. These
figures indicate that 20, 900 votes were
lost in the election.
