answers to the notices of contest served
on them and the allegations which they
set forth and which they expect to sup
port by proof of the most positive nature
are such as to show that Republican
fraud in the recent county election was
more fragrant than has been realized.
The answers show that in precinct No.
2 there were three illegal Republican
votes. In No. 3, there we're six persons
who voted the Republican ticket without
being qualified either by residence or
registration. Among these were p. L..
Humphrey and h. B. Wertz. In precinct
No. 4, there were not less than ten illegal
Republican votes cast. Among these
were Pancho Perez and Agustin Salcido,
who we're not citizens; Ygnacio Arroyo.
who was not qualified by residence; Lu-
ciano Romero, who was not registered,
and W. NJ. Berger, who had not been a
resident of the precinct In which he voted
for thirty days prior to the election. In
precinct No. 6, FIVE illegal Republican
votes we're cast, among them those of
Jesus Armijo and Jose Maria Macs. In
precinct No. 10, five Republicans voted
illegally. In precincts Nos. II and r.,
three votes each were cast
CONTRARY TO LAW.
In precinct II, three more illegal votes
went into the ballot box, among them the
vote of Antonio Pho, who, it is alleged,
is not citizen. In number IS, Daniel
Lucero, Domingo Duran, Leonardo Vigil
and two others destroyed the purity of
the ballot by voting when they were not
entitled to do SO. In precinct No. 10,
there were three illegal Republican votes
cast. In precinct No. 1, five Democrats
we're refused registration. In precinct
No. 7, Cerrillos, $50 persons voted the
Republican ticker, who were not qualified
to do so, not being citizens. In tho same
precinct 100 persons voted the Republi-
can ticket because they
WERE PAID TO DO 80,
