cording to the returns MCGOWAN won

for a recount could be made.
In an affidavit by Mr.. Roche, sub
mitted to the chief justice, the contest
ant states that he was present at the
count of SJtes in the Second district Of
the ward, and that twenty votes cast
for him were not counted. He alleges
tina in the First, Third and Fifth dis
tricts one vote cast in each for him was
rejected on account of marks made in
voting for him, which marks did not
justify the discarding of the ballot.
Mr.. Roche further alleges that error
has been made by the board of cleo
liOuS III Ill " liz oCfSio q 10 tSNo

cast whereby the result of said cleo

other orders on the members of the
district boards to appear If wanted.
The definite date for the recount has
not yet been set by the county board,
but it will probably be some day next
week.

A FOUL MESS.

It matters little what may be the ultimate result of the woods-Platt troubles; whether the woman is sent to Sing Sing for perjury and attempted blackmail, or the Senator is forced to pay money to free himself from her, the moral outcome is the same. There seems little doubt now that Mae Woods Is criminal. The evidence appears indisputable that she forged, or caused to be forged marriage certificate and committed perjury in the attempt to sustain her claim to be Platt's wife. It appears beyond doubt that 1t was a plain black mailing scheme. She wanted more money from him and thought this an easy way to get it.
 All this may be true without fin any degree clearing the skirts of Platt him self. His relations with her in the past were of nature to encourage her in any sort of scheme to bleed him. That they were ever married is not at all probable; that they should nave been is not in the least unlikely. His payment to her some time ago of ten thousand dollars was plainly hush money and was intended to buy her off. If his relations with her had been moral and decent, and if the circum- stances leading up to her suit against him had not been discreditable to both, he would not have been so ready to be held up by her. She thought him an easy mark. and that the ten thousand previously obtained was merely an evi- dence of the easy way she could get more. It Is not necessary to condone her acts and methods when we criti- cize him. If her life was indecent he contributed his share towards making 1t so. If her testimony on the stand was shameful his own was not of a kind to win him respect If they are not two Of kind they come perilously near to 1t.
 And this Thomas C. Platt is the man who represents the great State of New York in the highest and most honor- able position in our government. bar ring that of President. He represents in the Senate of the United States A State which has been honored by men like Rufus King. Philip Schuyler, Gouverneur Norris. Dewitt Clinton. silas Wright. Martin Van Buren. not to mention men Of later days who have been a credit to the State and to the Senate. We fully agree with The New York Times that Platt's occupancy of the senatorial office is scandal.

THURSDAY. MAY 2s. 1908.

Tn a paragraph of the news story from The Athens Courier dealing with the p9faeary of May 18th. is found an explanation of the supposed short total vote throughout Alabama in the Demo- cratic primary of May 18th. It is es- timated that the total vote on the State ticket will be in the neighbor- hood of 95.0oo. when as a matter of fact the total vote in the State should be I25,ooo and probably that many voters went to the polls. But thous- ands of them only voted the county ticket. and left off doing anything at all with the ticket containing names for President. Judges and Congress.
 The Courier says:
 For Congress. Judge Richardson, with no opposition to stimulate his friends, received 1.14s votes in Lime stone County. If his name had been on the county ticket instead of the state ticket he would have received
 
 a great many of our people did not vote the State ticket"
 The truth of the last statement Is clearly shown by the total vote of the county ticket. The county ticket as shown by the returns was voted by 1.765 electors of Limestone. The number of voters who did not put in a State ticket or only a partial state ticket in Limestone is astonishing. The number may not have been so large in other counties but undoubtedly a great many voters for one reason or another refrained from voting the State ticket. although they were anxi- ous to vote for their friends in the local contests. It is safe to say that at least 25,OoO voters of Alabama did not vote the State ticket.
