w. A. Kinney and w. S. Edings. the
attorneys for Iaukea, kept tab in the
Fifth District on the particular char
acter of votes that were originally re-
jected. Their figures show that Tau
kea will now be the gamer this after
~,
First Precinct, Brown 5, Iaukea Z; Sec
ond, Brown 3, Iaukea 2; Third, Brown

81
According to the ruling of the court
all of these ballots are now to be
counted in favor of the respective con-
testants. 1t will mean that Iaukea will
receive an additional majority # about
10 votes from the Fifth District. No
record was kept of the Fourth, Fifth or
Twelfth precincts, but there is no rea-
sen to think that the result from those
| precincts will do more than increase
! the lead of Iaukea. On the courts count
! this morning and the figures furnished
by the attorneys for Iaukea, his ma.
| jority thus far is about sc votes, but
| he may receive sufficient increase to
bring his lead to about 40 votes.
Since the case was submitted last
Wednesday, the court did not at any
time reconsider any of the ballots
that had been accepted by both sides.
Only the ballots that had been chal-
lenged and allowed by the court to be
rejected were passed on. The court
had explained during the progress OF
1.-The contest that it's ruling in the mat
ter of the rejection of ballots was pre-
! liminary and was subject to revision.
Kinney was especially congratulated
over the brilliant fight that he had
made, and his associate Judge Edings
came in likewise for cOngratulation,
as Edings had originally raised the
winning point in the first contest. The
Stars bulletin board was the first to
announce the news definitely, and it
was from the Star that Iaukea first
positively learned the news. He was
/ heartily congratulated on the result of
! the contest.
