RESULT OF SECOND COUNT
Both Wen and Lewis Say They Are Gaining
Steadily,
SHOW MADE BY BALLOTS IN TWO WARDS
Many Defective slips Challenged by
Both sides, on which the Final
Outcome VIII En-
tirely Depend.
SHOW MADE BY BALLOTS IN TWO WAR;

The counting Of the ballots in the justice
of the peace election contest proceeded slowly
yesterday, and but three more precincts
we're finished when the court adjourned last
| evening Jason x. Lewis the contestant,
asserts that he has made net gain of nine
| votes in the four precincts so far canvassed,
while Justice Wen, the present incumbent,
| says he has held his own and gained, II
| anything. OF the many ballots objected to
| and taken out OF the regular count, nothing
can as yet be definitely stated, as much will
depend upon the ruling of the three judges
when 1t comes to final decision. The as
sertlons as to gains are made by Lewis on
the ballots that his attorney thinks will be
| thrown out on established questions in the
construction of the election laws by the
supreme court of the state.
The showing made by the contestant in the
first precinct of the First ward made Lewis
rather confident of making a gain in the
second precinct This proved not to be the
case, however, and he practically lost three
votes. The return by the election board gave
Wien 206 and Lewis 235. On the recount
Wen was given 2O6; Lewis, 22S; objected to
by contestant, a. objected to by incumbent
1; not counted 80; defective A. In the Sec
ond ward Lewis succeeded in making a show
ing by which he thinks he has gained about
seven votes over Wen. The returns gave
Wen 22O; Lewis, 1S9. On the recount the
contestant objected to three ballots being
counted, the incumbent to one, and twenty
nine ballots were not counted. These are
the votes which were cast for Walker the
Independent republican, and which proved so
necessary to the republican candidates and
practically resulted in the defeat of Ferrier
and the present contest over the other two
Offices The recount gave Wen 215; Lewis
lS9 In the second precinct Of the Second
ward three ballots were objected to by the
contestant and six by the incumbent. Twenty
votes were not counted. Lewis was given
2l1 and Wien 222 votes in the precinct. The
original returns gave Lewis 21S and Wen 227.
The arguments on the contested ballots
viii be taken up Wednesday as the contest
court expects to complete two wards a day
OF the four still remaining uncounted. Both
the parties to the contest are confident of
winning. Lewis has only lead of fifteen to
overcome, but as he has some of the hardest
wards in the city to go through, the general
opinion is that Wen will gain instead of lose

attorneys are keeping a careful watch on

This fellow to my mind
Through summer, winter spring and fall

And when the times are bad, they sigh:
"Ah, advertising comes so high,

Poor guys!
The quickest way to dig your financial
grave Is to not advertise. 1t will dig itself
then-youll simply sink out of sight of
everybody but your creditors and a few old
fossils who love the dead smell of the past.
There are people we know who are content
