"Twenty-fou persons are alleg-
ed to have voted for me illegally,
on account OF not having been
naturalized. This list includes
some of the oldest and most re-
spected men of the county, who
have been voting in this county for
years, and | daresay that investi-
cation will show that practically
all of them who came to this coun-
ty under such circumstances as to
require naturalization to make
them citizens, have been duly
naturalized. This list is as fol-
lows: Lewis Laur, w. T. Nc
Dougal, Fred Femmer, John Har-
tigan, Peter Moix (Maix,) Henry
Strube, Joseph Tiscornia, Conrad
Rather, Fred Beckhaler, John
Fauchter, Otto Cline, Fred Boeck-
elmann, VIM Porkey (Tarkey,)
VIM King, Ferdinand Boedecker,
w. Beane, b. Blauc, Valentine
Rix, H. T. Mier, w. F. Mier, Henry
Mier, ST., Henry Blaue, Henry
Hupe, Louis Strube."
at is alleged in Mr.. Cooks notice
that 10 persons voted for me who
were not 81 years of age. | have
talked with some of those included
in this list and have no fears but
what investigation will show that
nearly all, II not all, of those in
cluded in this list were II years of
age on the day of the election. This
list is as follows: Fred Gannaway,
u. S. Pettus, Prank Best, Pate
Kellar, II. Pettrs, L. Pettrs, Walter
Swearingen, Monroe English, Eli
Patterson, VIM Elmore, James. p.
Parrish, Thomas Howard, Bart
Ford, Chris Heir, Joe Howard.
1T is also alleged that Daniel
Fitzpatrick and Joe Thompson vot-
ed for me and that they were IL
legal voters on account of being
paupers supported by Montgomery
county. l do not know whether
these individuals have received aid
from Montgomery county or not,
but even if they have that would
not disqualify them from voting, as
only actual confinement or resi-
dence at the county farm, at
public expense, will disqualify a
person on this ground, and then
only during the residence at the
county farm"
at is allegedin Mr.. Cooks notice
that 10 persons voted for me who
we're not residents of Montgomery
county, and who, in fact, are not
in existence SO far as he has been
able to ascertain. This list in
cludes T. A. Stipp, who works for
Frank Glare, near Montgomery,
Chas. DAILY, a democrat, who was
raised by and now works for Judge
j. Henry White, w. II. Lansing, a
democrat, who lives about six
miles west of Montgomery in this
county Oh the Williamsburg road
and Alex Givings, a colored man
who moved from Columbia to
Montgomery City two years ago
and now lives here. | feel sure
that investigation will not only
show that the other six individuals
named in this list are in existence
but also that they are legally en-.
titled to vote. The complete lis
of those who are not in existence
so lar as Mr.. Cook and his attor.
neys have been able to ascertain, i,
as follows; Alec Givings, T. A
Stipp, Robert Fields, james Cain.
man, Joe Sharp, w. II. Lansing
l.. f. Hampton, Leslie Harvey
Charles DAILY, j. f. Haines."
"The foregoing completes the
list OF 100 voters, whom, it is al.
legged, voted illegally for me. /
will be seen that in quite a number
ofinstanees the same name appear,
more than once"
