The VOTES COUNTED
Canvass of the Returns From
the Primary Election.

Only Names Printed on the Official
Ballot COunted-A Recount of the
Vote of Precinct Three-List of
Delegates to the County COnven-
/ ton.
The Escambia county democratic
executive committee met at the Of
flee of County Judge T. R. McCul-
lagh at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and proceeded to canvass the returns
from the primary election of April 10.
In precinct l it was shown that the
name of Archie Benton, not handed
in as a candidate at the time speci-
| fed, and not printed on the official
/ ballot, had been voted for as dele
gate to the county convention. On
motion it was ordered that no name
be counted unless said name had
been filed with the committee and
printed on the official ballot. The
votes for Mr.. Benton were therefore
not counted.
At precinct 3 Mr.. II. T. Pursell re-
ported that more votes had been cast
than were shown by the returns :;
that some ballots improperly marked
for some candidates had been thrown
out entirely. 1t was therefore de-
cided TO go behind the returns and
recount the vote, which was done.
The canvass by precincts then be-
gan, the result of which, as to candi-
dates for county offices, is shown in
tabulateG form elsewhere in this
