the official vote gives Meyer e. and Van de
yanter rs, was challenged BY the Repub-
ncans on the ground that the SkykomIsh
schoolhouse where the vote was polled, is
not ia Eng county, and that non-resi-
dents voted. The Populists claimed
that Meyer wss entitled TO 50
votes IN this precinct. but the
recount, even II the challenge TO the poll
does not prevail. will give him not more
than seventy-one. of which number
twenty were further challenged on the
ground that the ballots were improperly
marked.
The Novelty election board. like that OF
Hoaghton, neglected 10 place the Initials
required by law on the back OF the ballots.
