May RULE OUT ROOD.
A Chance That Senator Ingalls,
May Lose an Expected Vote.


TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 6-John \. Cues,
Farmers Alliance attorney general-elect,
says:
The action of the state board of canvass
ers in declaring Rood (Rep.) elected to the
legislature from Marion county over Max
well peoples party by lot to settle a
tie vote does not finally dispose of
the case. The board of canvassers,'
said he'is not authorized TO gamble any man
into office As the legislature IS no au-
thority 10 elect representative in case of
tie. it has no right to delegate that authority
10 the board of canvassers. l think that it is
clear that as the people of Mason county
have made no choice. that office is vacant
and the process of election issued to Mr.
Rood is worthless, and that it remains for
the legislature TO declare a vacancy and
notify the governor TO call a special meet
ing
a majority of the legislature is anti-Re-
publican and may unseat Mr.. Rood. This
would lose the vote-of Mr. Ingalls,
