THE eovERxoEsHIP CONTEST

From the Carson News of July 2A.l
This morning the argument in the
Guberpstorial contest in the Supreme
Court was begun by respective counsel
and will probably consume two days.
While considerable time has been con.
sumed in the trial Of the case and the
argument Of the pleadines. the consen-
.;on inst now will be in the main Is to
which one Of the two candidates
actually received the larger number oil
legal votes for the office Of Governor.
Counsel for Mcmillan began their
argument with the introduction OF
classified brief of all the objections
interposed by both sides. II was done
for the purpose of clarifying the attitude
AZ least. assumed by McMiIlan's sttor-
neys and fully setting ont their claims
The court was presented with three
comics OF the brief and followed it dur
ing the argument. In brief, McMilisns
attorneys claimed in open court this
morning that laying aside the objections
Of both parties to individual ballots, the
result Of the case shows this significant
condition.
Certain votes must be declared illegal
where the proof has been established
that the voters cast their ballots away
from their home precincts. IL has been
ascertained that declaring such illegal
votes q absolutely void and disregard
ing them in the recount, Mcmillan would
now have . majority of two votes. This
result suggests the thought that If the
expression of the popular will is still tt
be adhered to and no ballots thrown ou'
for bad markings, Mcmillan has still
shown that be has . majority Of th'
votes cast for Governor at the las
election.
McMillsn's attorneys submitted to tn
court that they had prepared their tabu
lated statement upon the basis Of th
decisions of the court regarding tn
ballots already passed upon. By thi
process Of analogous reasoning and sub
hitting too that there was possibility Q
inaccuracy, the statement shows tina
McMillan's attorneys claim his electio
by one hundred and ifty-seven.
