congressional contests in the First and
Second districts in favor Of Charles
Curtis and J.. W. Bowersock The

Jurisdiction in cases Of dispute be.
tween persons regarding the political
nominations is not unconstitutional
and that it Is not an Infringement of
the original jurisdiction of the ST.
preme court. 1t Is he'd, however, that
the court may take Jurisdiction and
settle contest cases by mandamus pro-
ceedings when q majority of the mem.
bers OF the board are shown to be dis.
qualified by reason of fraud.
Allegations Of fraud against mem-
bers Of the contest board were made
in an application for an alternative
writ Of mandamus, and in substance
were that MIR. Burrows, secretary Of
state, and Mr.. Coleman, attorney zen
eral, conspired with Charles Curtis
and Mr.. Bowersock to keep the names
of Mr.. Allen and Mr., Anthony off the

ing the past year is in me increase in
the size of the convention. Last year
the convention had 100 votes, while
this year It has 322 votes. The scale
