Most of the unopposed candidates re-
ceived the full vote in their respective
districts. %.4g
After the official vote had been an
nounced Chairman Ball stated that the
committee would not declare anybody
nominated until ncxt this after
noon, when the committee will meet at
- e.. .f
protests and deciding whether re-
count would be necessary and whether
one would be made if deemed advisa-
BILE. The committee will meet at the
office of the Sunday Star.
After DIR. Ball had finished speaking
William Michael Byrne, representing
Samuel A. Mcdaniel, filed the protest
which he had sought to file during the
morning, but which the committee
would not receive, as 1t was not then
deemed the proper time for receiving
protests. Mr.. Byrne, in presenting his
petition, said he was desirous OF arriv-
ing at the correctness of the vote. He
expressed absolute confidence in the
committee and said that after it had
been settled beyond question that the
vote was correct, il Mr.. Mcdaniel was
defeated he and all who had voted for
him would support the successful nomi
nee. Mr.. Byrne thought he might be
able to present bill of particulars at
the next meeting of the committee and
he asked reasonable length of time
in which to do so. He was given
until Thursday to prepare his bill of
particulars.
Philip Q. Chrchman, representing
Emmit F, Stidham, filed his petition
asking for recount of the vote in,
order to settle the disputes, and in
support of his request endorsed what
Mr.. Byrne had said.
William S. Hilles, who said he did
not represent John Z. Taylor, the
highest man, but was simply acting as
his mouthpiece, stated that Mr.. Taylor
wanted the fair thing done. Mr.. Hilles
realized that to recount the entire vote
for sheriff would entail great labor on
the committee and would take time,
and he suggested that those who de-
sired to protest inform the committee
as to what districts they based their
claims on and let the committee in
vestigate in the vote Of those districts.
In such case, he said, Mr.. Taylor
would be the first man to ask that
there be a recount, and If it should
develop that he was not nominated he
will gracefully give way to the nomi-
nee and support him.
Francis &. Bradley, one of the de-
feated candidates, took occasion to
thank those who voted for him and at
the SAINT. time stated that be had no
