the fact that Buffers majority was the

maintained, had sworn to the accuracy of

He summarized his case with the state
ment that the district was normally
Democratic: that Butler was supported
by united party. by labor organiza tons,
dissatisfied Republicans, and negro yot-
ers; that Horton was unpopular by rea-
son of his connection with the traction
company and its strike. and that he had
won his nomination only after & fractional
fight.

CONGRESSMAN BUTLER
DEFENDS HIS SEAT
No Evidence Offered Against
Mr.. Horizons Charges.
Attorney Rowe Bases Argument on
the Testimony Submitted by
the Contestant.

Representative James j. Butler. the
theatrical manager-statesma from st.
Louis, yesterday had his inning before
Election Committee No. /, for the pur
pose of showing his right to the seat in
the House which he now occupies.
His side of the celebrated case was pre-
scented by his attorney, MIR. Tom J. Rowe,
whose argument had not proceeded far
before it resolved itself into a cross-ex-
| animation in which the lawyer played the
part of witness ard the members of the
committee his questioners.
The committeeman wanted to know
great deal about the peculiarities of the
political conditions in the Missouri city
and the election laws Mr.. Rowe gave
them considerable insight into the situa
ton there.
The Hotel Conference.
Mr.. Horton. the contestant, in his brief,
laid much stress upon a meeting held at
the Southern Hotel in st. Louis on the
Sunday prior to the election, at which
number of Democrats were present in
Guiding the two Democratic members of
the board of election commissioners and
the Democratic chief of police. Mr.. Hor-
ton maintained that at that time a plot
to secure Mr.. Buffers election was con-
cocted.
Mr.. Rowe, replying to this charge, de-
clared that the meeting was really for
the purpose of counteracting the scheme
which the Republicans had planned to
swear in / 900 deputy sheriffs to run the
action to prevent these deputies from
going within 100 feet of the polls and in
timidating voters. AS matter of fact,
the deputies were not sworn in, and
therefore the action of the meeting was
of no effect.
Submits No Evidence.
Mr. Butler submitted no evidence what
ever in the case. and Mr.. Rowe based his
entire argument upon the showing made
in the testimony taken in behalf of Mr..
| Horton.
He declared that the law providing for
Il board of election commissioners for st.
Louis. against which the contestant, Mr..
Horton, has protested, was passed by
Republican Legislature and signed by
ed that the testimony taken in behalf of
Mr. Horton showed that the election was
fairly and honestly conducted according
TO the statements of Republicans as well
as Democratic judges, and to substanti-
ate this claim he reviewed the record
taken in the case.
He further showed that the judges and
challengers representing Mr.. Horton had
been selected from list of names pre-
pared by the Republican city committee,
and that the names on the registration
lists to which objection is now made
were canvassed and approved by election
clerks Of both parties before the election.
No "Repeaters" Employed.
Mr.. Rowe ridiculed the assertion that
.repeaters" had been driven from one
polling place to another and voted. All

 Former Bristol Manager Says He
 Doesn't Want Team Now.
 Bristol, June 23.-It has been well known fact for some time that Bristol could have the Meriden base ball team any time it wanted it, and that the members of that nine were anxious to come to Bristol Manager William J. Tracy of last years Bristol team, the pennant winners, says that he would not take the Meriden or any other team this season if they would pre- sent to him $500 besides the payers. He said Bristol people had no interest in the present Connecticut league, that Bristol had been used unjustly when put out of the league, and there was no way but to wait until things strengthened themselves out.
 Manager Tracy said the Bristol man agement has the Center street grounds, the only base ball park in town, leased for this year and next, so no club could come here without their sanction He also said that ar engagements were being made for the formation of a state league for next year composed of state clubs, which would give the old league all the fun it wanted. Bristol will never forget the work of the James O'Rourke cabal last December in pushing Bristol from the league. sa
