Claims There Was a Mistake In the
Official Count.

Official Count.
Contests as a result of the recent
primary election have been started In
Fargo. Mrs. Matte M. Davis, county
superintendent of schools for twelve
years, was defeated by j. w. Riley by
twenty-five votes and her attorneys
ask that the votes of the First and
Second wards in Fargo be thrown out
entirely and that there be a recount
in the precincts at Wheatland and
Ayr.
In case her prayer be granted Riley
will be defeated. as he ran strong in
all places in question. In the First
and Second wards of Fargo fraud Is
charged in the methods of voting. es-
pecially in coaching ignorant voters.
These are the illiterate wards, in
which most of the foreigners and ne
groes reside, and Mrs. Davis attor.
neys allege that votes were not prop
erly cast.
No charges of fraud are made in the
two outside precincts, errors in the
count being merely alleged.
