Frankfort, KY, Dec. 1.-THE state
election commissioners, sitting rs a
board of contest, met at 10 a. m. in
the state senate chamber.
Arguments We're heard on two prop
ositions. the chief subject being the
right of the commissioners to 90 be-
hind the certified election returns for
governor and lieutenant governor.
when sitting rs a contesting board.
ard the right of the commissioners to
receive amended returns.
The Arguments Begun.
In deciding the course of argument.
IL was arranged that the democratic
attorney should have the close. The
republicans agreed to open. and u. ".
Farleigh. for their side. brought ND the
question that the board had no right
to go behind the returns of the coun-
~ canvassing boards. He claimed
that no state in the Union permitted
such action, saying that the matter
lad been decided in all the courts of
the United States, from the supreme
court of the nation down. Mr.. Far
leigh apologized to the court for going
into elementary law. but be declared
that the question before the board was
OF such plain and simple nature that
il was necessary. He then quoted au-
thorities to support his position. If it
had been the intent of the statute. he
claimed, that the canvassing board had
the right TO go behind the returns. WHY
should there have been anything in the
statutes providing for the creation OF
contesting board.
In Reply to Question.
In answer to a question, Mr. Far
leigh entered upon a long argument
designed TO prove that the decisions
did not show that the conrt of appeals
had decided that canvassing boards
had judicial power.
Commissioner Ellis asked Mr.. Far
leigh, if in cases where a canvassing
board had positi9e knowledge that the
returns were absolutely void, the
board was, under the state statute.
without power to apply any remedy.
Absolutely so, in my judgment"
