One Committeeman Refuses TO
Take Part In the rIeeting of

AT a meeting of the Democratic

Eddyville May IS, 1908, there were
present three Of the four committee
men, viz: Geo. E. Gary, Chairman,
Of Christian; e. c. K. Robertson, of

elected Secretary of the committee.
A written notice was sent 70 com.
mitteemau Ladd that the committee
was in session and requesting him
to attend in person or send the re-
turns from Trigg county, which re-
quest he ignored.
The committee was duly sworn by

ed from the tour counties, as finally

if they closed then, and that they
kept on voting till near O'clock.
He estimated the number of illeg al
votes at that precinct at 30 to IS.
After considering these atfidavits
and examining the law bearing on
the subject, including the decision
of the court of appeals in the case
OF Banks VS.. Sergent from Letcher
county, declaring that the law for
closing at 4 o'clock was mandatory
and not directory and that precincts
in which it was violated should be
"disregarded" or thrown out, the
committee or motionsthrew out the
South Cadiz, North Cadiz and Wal
lonia precincts, which precincts
had given Cook 1872, Bush 1l2, Smith
298 and Duffy 81 votes.
The table above shows the official
vote as corrected.
Efforts TO Harmonic.
Before the committee entered into
the transaction of business Judge
c. H. Bush sent delegation of his
friends to Judge TbOs. P. Cook to
propose that they both agree to a
general recount of all the ballots,
eliminating those cast after 4 o'clock
taking statements of questioned
voters as to how they voted, and
let the decision be final.
Judge Cook answered with a
counter proposition, stipulating that
all Republican votes be included
among illegal votes thrown out.
Judge Bush then sent back the
following signed acceptance
Eddyville, Ky, May IS, 1908
Judge Thos. P Cook-Dear Sir:
Whereas the. Democratic District
Committee of the Third Judicial Dis
trict of Kentucky, composed Of Geo.
E. Gary, N. o. Gray, e. c. X. Rob
ertson and J. Frank Laid, is now

wasting the vote cast on Saturday.
May 9, 1908, in the primary election
held to nominate a candidate for
Circuit Judge and Commonwealth :
Attorney, and it having been pro-
posed by you TO Representatives OF
myself that you are willing for said
committee to recount the votes cast
in the primary on May 9, 1908, and
to cast out all illegal votes, includ-
ing Republicans, and to abide by
the result of said recount, / here
by accept said proposition and COM
sent to said recount by said COM
mittee Yours truly,
c. II. BUHH.
When this acceptance was pre-
scented to Judge Cook he refused
fatty to even accept the paper.
Ladd Acts Alone.
While the committee was in ses-
sion, Mr.. ]. F. Ladd, the Trigg
Committeeman, appeared at the
door and invited Chairman Geo.
E. Gary TO attend a meeting Of
Judges Cooks friends, in which
were two recently deposed county
chairmen from Lyon and Galloway
counties. Mr.. Gary declined and
Christian county was not at any
time officially represented in the
meeting referred to.
1t was learned afterward that two
former chairmen claimed to still
represent their counties. Mr., Geo.

John ID. Shaw and }, e. Edwards
take out their watches and state
that it was after o clock. About 10
minutes after 4, Judge Crenshaw
crowded his way into the poll room
and after be came out the voting
continued until a few minutes of 5
o'clock. That to the best of his
belief not less than 25 votes we're
cast after o'clock.
NJ. S. Thompson swore to the
same facts, saying that the polls
did not close until 5 minutes Of 5
O'Clock and that IS or 30 illegal
votes were cast after o'clock.
That half a dozen watches were ex-
amined in the crowd and that the
watch of Henry Lawrence, which
was the slowest, showed ASP at
closing.
North Cadiz.
W. II. Timmons, sheriff of cleo
tion at North Cadiz precinct, sWore
that the poll in that precinct was
kept open until few minutes after
a o'clock. That he demanded OF
the judges that the polls close, bu'
they claimed that they we're still
voting in South Cadiz precinct, that
he then shut the door any way, but
the judges allowed voters to come
in the window. A dozen or more
votes were cast after clock. He
further swore that the box had but
one lock and key and that box and
key were delivered to chairman
Laid on Monday, May II, by the
Judges and that he demanded the
custody OF the key, but Laid re-
fused to give it up.
J. E. Edwards swore that the
polls were kept open in both Cadiz
precincts, which we're only square
apart, until 4:47 by his watch and
that at least 20 votes were cast al
South Cadiz after 4 o'clock.
WalIOnia.
w. H. Jefferson and 7. J. Pearcy
both swore that the polls at Wal
lonia were not closed until after 5
o'clock and to the best of their
knowledge and belief it was $50
when they closed and that the ma
ior part of the votes cast were cast
in the afternoon.
Judge Robert Crenshaw swore
that he was present when Chairman
Laid opened the Wallonia ballot
box on Monday, May IL, and that
there was no certificate of the vote
in the judicial race in the ballot
box. That afterwards the officers
from said district met and formula
ted a certificate from memory of the
result in said election for Judge and
attorney. He further swore that
two of the said officers say they did
not close the polls in said Wallonia
precinct until about Sis o'clock
Afiant also swore to the facts re.
ferred to in Getaway Tart's afida-
Wit. That he entered the South
Cadlz poll room at 4:1O and demand
ed that the polls close, and read
them the law, including syllabus
of the court of appeals, the import
of which was that no votes cast af-
ter 4 o'clock could be counted and
told them if they did not want the
precinct thrown out they ought to
stop, that Jno. w. Kelly came in
and objected and said a certain
candidate would loae d or 30 Vokee

Bisbee daily review., 1903-11-15

cf copper has increased at the rate of about 80 per cent every ten years. During the past decade there hss been al. increase of more than 100 per cent; but in spite of this there are now no surplus copper supplies. If we are to maintain this pace in ,he future either new mines of great productivity must be developed or every mine at pres ent making copper must double its production during the coming ten years. Not one mine in five can be made to do this; and before the end of ten years some of the present produc- CTS will have been closed down and forgotten. Tamarack seems to have pretty well exnauste1 its resources already. Calumet 6 Hecla, the sec cnd largest of the worlds producers is not believed to be able to maintain it's present output as many as ten years longer, as it has already reached the bottom of it's mine in sev- eral places. Anaconda costs hay in- creased almost to the prohibitory linn it its copper having been made and marketed last year at an average ex- pense of about II 1-2 cents per pound
 Rio Tinto, the third largest producer is dependent On cheap labor for it's rrofits. If 1t had to pay Butte or Lake Superior wages it could operate only at a loss. There are scores of producers, small in their way. that are making copper at no profit, and waiting for improvement that is never likely to come. These must, in the natural course, eventually discontinue operations. Viewed from long range standpoint, the copper mining industry was never on a more secure tasis than now, and the outlook for its continued prosperity was never brighter. The. prospect is that within five years consumptioa will again suf- fcently exceed production to cause to sell at r to 20 cents per pound.
