County Clerk Carter Shows How Err
ror Was Made.

Mexico, Mo-, Nov. 21.-Replying to
your telegram of this morning regard
ing vote for LieutenantG Governor as
originally certified,and corrected vote
Of some days later, ! have this to
say:
The vote from this county as orig
inally certified was taken from the
footings Of all the officers as extend
ed by the judges and clerks of the
various precincts. The vote IN Lieu
enant- Governor in the original eertif-
icate was as follows;
Painter. ...... 3 $40
Gmelieh l 40
On November 10, the secretary of
the Republican Central Committee of
this county came to my office and re-
quested that we compare the returns
he had sent in to the Republican
| State committe on State officers. and
in making this comparison we dis
covered the vote at Rush Hill Pre-
cinct to be as follows on Lieuten-
ant Governor as extended by the
judges aind clerks: Painter. 14l;
Gmelich, 81; but we also discovered
that the said judges and clerks at
Rush Hill Precinct had counted l6
tallies and 4 votes, making a total of
81 votes for Gmelich. when, in fact,
there was only Is tallies and 4 votes.
making a total OF 70 votes for Gmel-
ich, as shown by the returns.
/ thereupon made a certificate TO
Mr.. Swanger, Secretary of State, of
the error at Rush Hill, and asked
that he append same to the orig
inal certified vote Of Audrain eoun-
ty. He (Mr. Swanger) called ms up
over long-distance telephone and stat
ed to me that he would send another
blank to make corrected certified
vote for this county. / asked him
to return my original certificate that
l might make the proper correction
on the Gmelich vote at Rush Hill;
but this he declined to do, saying he
preferred TO retain the original eerti-
fled vote, and requesting that ]
make an entirely new certificate and
forward to him promptly.
Upon the receipt Of the necessary
blanks from Mr.. Swanger / made
corrected returns from this C ounty,
which were identical with the origi-
nal returns, with the exception that
the corrected returns showed 70
votes for Gmelich at Rush Hin in
stead Of 81 votes, as originally certi-
fled from extensions made by judges
and clerks at said Rush Hill Precinct
i give below the original and cor
rected vote of this county for Lieu
tenant-Governo
Original certificate:
Fainter. ..."...............*. . $40

Corrected certificate:
Gmelich ...........A........s.1 1928

l would also further say that If the
five votes erroneously given to Gmel-
ich were counted. 1t would make the
total vote on Lieutenant Governor
more than the total number Of votes
cast at said Rush Hill Precinct.

Go1ne Of the wosawerk Was Burned Before BIaze Was Discovered --Peliee are at Work on
 the Case.

Pensacola. Fla, May s.--(special. )- The long trestie of the Pensacola Elec- trlc Company. which spans Big Bayou was set on fire some time early this morning by unknown parties. supposed to be strike sympathizers.
 Some of the wood work was burned before the blaze was discovered by residents living near by who extin- suished it. Several stringers and number of crossties were burned out while a number of them were badly charred and will be replaced.
 The matter was reported to the of- fcials and worlxmen made repairs at once. thus preventing delay of the cars running on the Bay Shore lines. While there are no clues, 1t Is believed the parties who set fire to the bridge went to the point in a boat as they would have been noticed by watchmen sta- fioned at Perdi Station and other points had they followed the track from the city. The fire was set after the last car had passed over the trestle at mid- night
 About twenty-five new men went on the cars this morning, relieving the professional New York strike-break- CTS. a number of whom took their de- parfure last night and today. A large number of the new men have been at Biloxi. waiting for conditions to settle down before coming ot Pensa- cola. The new men are from Savan- nah and various other Southern cities where Stone and Webster have rail- ways.
