cago lawyer, Henry T. Gilbert, in an
address on legal procedure asserted
that no improvement has been made
in the administration Of justice in 80
years that Illinois has been a state Of

statement, considering that it has been
a century of marked improvements in

Election Suit Decided
After Two Years

Guthrie. Okla, Nov 10.-In what Is
probably the most important election
case decided since statehood the SUI
preme court today, in an opinion by
Justice Williams. settles the old Mus
kogee county fight over the election
1907. affirming the lower court in
giving the office. of county attorney to
W. ]. Crump, Democrat against W. +.
Ramphendahl Republican.
.The question brought up to the su-
preme court was that the lower court
should have counted Taft precinct, a
solid negro precinct. Without that
precinst Chump had S,59S votes and
Ramphenrahl 1858, giving Crump a
majority of 40. Taft precinc- voted
1877 Republican against Democratic,
however according to unofficial re-
turns, was thrown out by the county
election board on account Of gross ir-
Ter Vlarities. Their action was upheld
w the trial court and is upheld again
BY the supreme court, which says that
they will not disturb the judgment Of
the trial Judge where it rejects ballots
cast at precinct where almost every
provision Of law, mandatory as we'll as

such election. except time and place,
