NO HOPE FOR GRAHAM.
The Republican Chairman Already
Out Looking for "Mjscouuts.,


LBBI, Nov. lin looking over the
Tribune of yesterday 1 note under the
head lines, ''Miscounts of Lehi." that
Chairman Graham was over from Pro-
Vo investigating the methods of the
Democrats here during the recent cleo
ton. l have been reliably informed
THAT Graham went to one of the Re
publican judges of election to aScerta i'm
something in regard to ''miscounts. +"
and the Republican judge told him that
: everything in regard to the election
here was o. X. and he would not
state otherwise in order to get him
(Graham) or any other Republican cleo
ted illegally. 1 was at the polls from
start to finish, and did not hear one
Republican, and there We're several
there, w. L. Racker, c. A Granger.
James HARDWOOD and others, say one
word about ''miScount" | verify he
heve the libelous article referred to,
dated Lehi, Nov. Z, was manufactured
in the Enquirer office at Provo for DO
litical effect. l don't believe there is
any Republican in Lehi that is base
\ enough to send such an article to any
1baper for publication after knowing
the exact condition. As to James
SchoW, who had resided in Mercur for
over a year, Mr.. Schow'S home is here
and he locked up his house. leaving his
furniture, etc, while he went to Mer-
cur for a few months to work, but it
was different with Mr.. l.. Oakley Gre
publican), who went to American Fork
removing everything from here and
took charge of the Union Pacific station
there, and intended to make his home
there, but was discharged a few days
before election day, and came here and
was allowed to vote. | suppose the
partisan Democratic judges allowed
him to vote because he was a Republi-
can. j also notice another statement
IL another part of the Tribune signed
also by j., in which it stated "Hy
Smith tried before Justice Evans and
fined So. and Frank knight was given
a hearing on the charge of keeping his
saloon open after hours. and the case
{ was dismissed" These statements for
! wonder are true. Now foE the status
of the cases. Mr.. knight, Republican,
was charged with keeping his saloon
open after hours. The night in ques-
tion was Saturday night after the Re
publican primary, and on the morrow
1t was town talk that the saloon was
kept open until 2 or 5 o'clock Sunday
morning and the Republican marshal
and Republican nominee for marshal
were present. 1t was also produced in
testimony in open court that the sa-
loon was open after u o'clock, but JUS
tice Evans Republican) in summing
up the testimony said, technically
speaking. Mr.. knight had violated the
city ordinance. but did not do it will
fully. therefore he would discharge him.
The case of Hy Smith Democrat, how
ever, was somewhat different. The
Democrats were holding a rally, and
while the Hon. ]. L. Rawlins was
speaking a crowd of hoodlums congre-
gated on the outside of the building,
disturbing the assembly. and Mr.
Smith went out to stop the noise, and
asked if there was an officer present
None responding, Mr.. Smith attempted
to stop the disturbance, took one of the
boys in charge. when another rushed
on him, when Mr.. Smith slapped the
,fatter, and for this he was fined S..
