enth primary district Mr.. Knowles
then read the protests made by Mr. Ru-
dolph, candidate for representative in
the Second representative district, and
G. w. Sparks, in the First senatorial
district
The alleged grounds for The contest
were that a greater number OF votes
were cast for the two contesung can,
didates than appeared on the returns.
and that there we're great irregularities.
The face of the returns showed that
Robertson had 81 majority and Irwin
F. Phillips SS majority, and everything
hinged on the Eleventh district, which
gave about 100 majority each for Rob
ertson and Phillips.
On motion OF Mr.. Hayes, seconded
by Air. Adoicks, It was dsolded to re-
count the votes. This showed tnAL an
understanding had been reached while
the committee was in caucus. Mr. Pier
son and Mr.. Taylor were appointed as
a subcommittee to go to the Court
House and get the ballot-box. When
it was brought to the room the count
started.
Result of Recount
The recount showed that Robertson
received 227; Phillips, 225; Sparks, sc; ;
Rudolph, 81; Adair, 2; Sterling, 2.
In examining the poll list Mr.. Billany
discovered that one poll list called for
266 votes while the count showed 27z
were cast He also pointed out that,
although Saturday was a rainy day,
none OF the ballots showed any indica-
ton of dampness. Mr.. Billany also
said that on all the ballots for Robert
son and Phillips the names Of Rudolph
and Sparks were scratched with blue
pencil.
Mr.. Bradley said: That is easily ac-
counted for, for my wife did that in
the evenings"
Evidence Of Fraud
Mr.. Knowles asked that the result Of
the election in the Eleventh district b,
not accepted. He said he nad Gocu-
mentary evidence and verbal state
ments which he wished TO put in in
support Of his contention. Mr.. Hayes
/ said the committee would not accep
any ex parte affidavits. He said hif
motion was 10 simply count the ballot
and not to hear evidence. Mr.. PiersoI
moved that the evidence be heard
There was a tie vote. and the motion
was lost
Mr.. Knowles, arising, said: do I un.
derstand that this committee shuts Ou

At this point Mr.. Bradley jumped L
