Attorney L. X. Taylor Makes
Nine Allegations in Petition
He Charges Fraud and Irregularities
in the Recent Democratic
Primary.
SAYS BOGUS BALLOTS PRINTED

Attorney L. K. Taylor, who was a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
tion for comm onwealth's attorney in
the district composed of McCrackeu
and Marshall counties in the recent
primary, today filed notice of his con-
test against Attorney John g. Lovett,
to whom the certificate was awarded
on a mandamus in circuit court here.
There were three candidates in the
primary, Attorneys Taylor, Lovett
and J. M. Worten, and Attorney Tay-
lor was defeated by a small majority,
and has since claimed by fraud. Ho
wanted the ballot boxes opened by the
committo- before the certificate was
awarded, but the Marshall county
chairman held that this could not be
done and Chairman Morrison Of the
McCracken county committee declined
to sign Mr.. Lovett's certificate until
it was done. Mr.. Lovett took ont q
mandamus and Judge Husbands, in
circuit court, held that the boxes
could not be opened and the vote
counted except on contest Of Attorney
Taylor, which contest is now fled
Chairman Morrison then signed the
certificate.
Attorney Taylor has taken his time
in preparing the contest papers, and
thers are nine distinct allegations
contained in the eighteen typewritten
pages that compose it.
Allegations Nos. 1, and are that
the election in Marshall county was
illegal, as the committee Of that coun-
ty had never been sworn in ss required
by law.
The fourth allegation is that the
night of election the keys of the ballot
boxes were turned over to Chairman
Edwards of the Marshall county COM
mittee and that IL can be proven that
an effort was made to have bogus bal
lots printed in Paducsh. and that they
were printed in Paducah, and that the
ballot boxes were stuffed while the
keys were in possession of the chair
man.
Allegation No. is that the ballots
IN Marshall county were not properly
printed, as they did not contain ON
the back the name of Mr.. Morrison, Of
this county, an officer of the district
committee.
The sixth allegation is that 388
votes cast for Attorney Taylor were
counted for Attorney Lovett. and tho
other three allegations are of general
irregularities in the primary.
This contest is to be heard by tho
judicial committee, composed Of
Chairman Morrison of McCracken and
Chairman Edwards of Marshall. At
torney Taylor says that he has not
played his last card yet. and that
while he can take the matter into tho
courts, he has not done SO yet. IL 10
said that Mr.. Lovett will have . diff
cult time getting his name on the ON
cisl ballots in November, should he
win the contest.
Mr.. Taylor in his contest asks that
the ballot boxes be openet and the
vote counted and If there be fraud
that 1t be exposed.
I Attorney Taylor will this afternoon
take the papers to benton to have tho
sheriff serve them ON Chairman Ed
