Gentlemen: l. P. E. Byrne. candi~
date for the Office of county auditor, do
hereby protest against the board of
canvassers as now constituted upon
the following grounds:
First-The county auditor has named
the three members of said board with
out authority of law.
Second-That the law clearly con-
templates the naming of but two OF
said board and that the two members
sc named shall, under the circum-
stances as they exist in this county,
choose a justice of the peace 10 act as
a member of such canvassins nLoard;
that this plain provision Of the statute
has been ignored, and instead of hav-
ing two non-candidate members Of said
canvassing board, as provided by law,
the board is O composed in the ria
jority Of members who are candidates
for office on the republican ticket, ana
a minority of one county commissioner
who is not a candidate.
Third-That the board as now COM
posed is constituted with a view of ig-
morning the rights of the candidates en-
the independent and democratic ticket
and that in all fairness the canvassins
board should be composed as nearly
as possible of members having no
direct interest in the outcome of such
Respectfully submitted,
