Third District

Late last night the Republican Joint
County Committee, composing the Board
OF Canvassers completed the work begun
yesterday morning
A recount OF the votes in the third pri
mary election district Of this oSty was or
dered as a result of the protest Of A. ID. |
Nandcyer. candidate for coronor. After
the recount the district was ordered /
thrown out. This action does not change
any nomination previously announced.
Horace G. Knowles. attorney for Van
dever. during the afternoon entered a
protest against the returns from White
Clay Greek hundred. but did not present
any evidence. The committee unani-
mously decided to accept the returnsI
heretofore published.
1t was discovered in the recount that
many Of the ballots foHnd in the box had
not been folded All Of them were clean
and did not bear fhger marks, although
| it is known that many workmen voted
| while returning to their homes from
work.
After the recount Lucius =. Jones ap-
pcarea with his four brothers and other
Republicans who stated 10 the commit
tee that they had voted for Henry G.
Mahaffy for comptroller. The returns
gave Mr.. Mahafy but one vote. The
Rev Moses B. Hendley and J. Frank Jo-
Inski. gave testimony showing that ball
lots deposited for certain candidates We're
4 not counted. These ballots were not in
the box. The assertion was made that
the ballot box in the contested district
was removed while the election otlicGs
were at supper and another box subati-
tuted. Such n charge, however. was not
made before the committee. although the
evidence produced coineided with the al
legation.
A resolution was adopted that the COM
mittee as an organization and the mem-
bers individually Hse every effort to fer
ret out the act. The rejection OF the bal
lots in this district tended GO reduce the
majoritiee and pluralities Of some Of che
nomnees. but did not jeopardize the suo.
