Still Determined

we have not changed the least in
our determination to push these con
tests" said Mr. Cox, candidate for
Secretary of State. so far as that is
concerned, we would not care il the
contests could come before the legis-
lattice committee right now Even
now we have plenty of evidence to
convince a fair-minded committee
that we were elected, but we are
gathering more evidence all the
time Mr. Cox's statements were
supported by other candidates.
There has been some talk TO thc
effect that the recount in Marion
county might cause the Democratic
candidates to give up their plans
for contests. This idea was advanc-
ed because the recount in Marion
county showed few inaccuracies OF
consequence and some of the mac
curacies were in favor of the Repub
lican candidates. 1t is pointed OH
by the Democratic candidates, how
ever. that in this county alone Mr.
Cox gained seventy-eight votes OH
The recount, while Mr. Isenbarger
gained 100 votes.
Inaccuracies in Many Counties
According to statements made this
week the Democratic candidates are
not relying wholly on the counties
in the northern part of the State
where there was heavy foreign vote
for their evidence to be used in the
contests.
Il have found inaccuracies in many
counties, of the state" said Mr. New
and | am sure that all of them taken
together if corrected will give me
