Those who attended the meeting Of the
State Board Of Canvassers were Secretary
OF State O'Brien, Acknowledgement Mayer,
COMPTROLLER Wilson, State Treasurer Wal
lenmeier and State Engineer Van Alstyne.
As the vote was canvassed for each state
office the present incumbent moved that his
Democratic competitor at the November
election be declared duly elected.
The fact that only 1900 Of the votes
cast for the Independence League ticket
were so returned to the State Board OF
Canvassers on it's face deprives the league
of the right to participate in the primaries,
as the law requires that a party must poll
at least 3 per cent. Of the vote to attain this
privilege. That percentage thisy year repre-
sents $1,000 votes.
