democrats. In another precinct the re-
publican challengers were put out OF the
booth by force AMI the inspectors were re-

the returns showed that ony ttty-hye re-
publ cans voted, yet there are lao who
give their mes and are willing to make
affidavit tn they yo.ed the republican
ticket straight The republicans usually
carry that precinct by flty nd yet this
year 1t went democratic by $50.

discovered in Logan county; frauds thaS
