most part by negroes, on which the only
mark was against the DISTINGUISHING
amendment should he counted.
Tie democratic judges OF election In
this precinct, as elsewhere in the city
where the same condition was found, con-
tended that since no candidate was voted
for the ballots should not be counted. In
this particular precinct there was long
wrangle among the judges. without CALI

The ballots In the precinct were not
counted until the judges had reached a
decision. 1t was finally decided the pal

TIVE principal causes of disagreement
were thumb marks that appeared on
many ballots and the failure of voters to
designate their choice by crossmarK
