MILTON TO HOLD SEAT.
Getty Contest Is Dismissed in the State
Senate.

| Senator T. A Milton, Democrat, viii
retain his seat in the state legislature
as the senator from Wyandotte county
This is the decision made by the senate
committee on elections last night In
the contest case brought by the Re
publican candidate James F. Getty
against Senator Milton.
! The arguments in the case were pre-
sented by counsel for the parties to the
| contest, last week and last night was
set as the time for the committees de-
cision. Senator Milton made a motion
| to dismiss Mr.. Getty'S contest on the
ground that the contestor had not i'm
peached the findings of the canvassing
| board which showed he had been elect
ed to the senate by a majority of 342
votes.
After considering the arguments and
evidence presented the elections COM
mittee decided that Senator Milton was
entitled to the seat in the senate and
dismissed the contest. This decision, it
is stated, was reached. by the unani-
nous vote of the committee.
Senator Milton has occupied his seat
since the opening of the present session
and he has at no time expressed any
doubt as to the outcome.
In this case the "hoodoo'' usually as
sociated with No. 13, was not working.
Senator Milton has occupied seat NO
1S in the senate since the beginning.
In the contest. of w. w. Caldwell,
Republican, against Senator w. NJ.
Moore, Democrat. for the senatorship
in the Thirty-second district, the cleo
tions committee late last night decided
in favor of the contestor, which means
that Senator Moore of Republic will
be obliged to relinquish the seat he
has occupied in the state senate since
the beginning of the legislature. and
that Mr.. Caldwell. of Cloud, will be
given the seat.
The contest in the Caldwell Moore
case has been close from the start
There were 5000 ballots cast in Re-
public and Cloud counties, and of that
number 700 had to be counted by the
attorneys for the contestor and con-
testee. The attorneys found 1S5
doubtful ballots upon which they
could not agree and these were set
aside for decision by the elections
committee. Exclusive of the doubt
full ballots Moore had a majority of
II votes, according to the count of the
attorneys.
When the committee on elections
counted the doubtful ballots, how
ever, Mr.. Moore's lead was cut down
and the final result gave Caldwell a
izing the ballots to see that the mark
ing conformed to law, the elections
committee used microscopes. Most of
the Moore ballots were thrown out on
the ground that the voter had used
an indelible pencil instead of the
usual lead pencil which is specified by
law.
The board of canvassers in the last
election gave Mr.. Moore % majority.
The report of the committee on
elections on these contests will be sub ,
Initted to the senate this afternoon and
