bright, republican candidate for the
state sen ate at the last election, will
contest the election OF M. M. Duncan.
democrat, who was given a certificate
of election, having on the face Of the
returns q majority OF As. The petition
asks that the vote in the precincts of
Meadow Creek, Monida and Harrison
be thrown out on the ground OF fraud
and illegal acts on the part of the jud.
ges of election. In all the counties of
the state where voting machines are
o used the official ballots have mum.
bers and are attached to stubs with
perforations for separating them when
the ballots are detached for voting.
There are numbers on the stubs and
on the ballots. The numbers on the
ballots are on attached slips that the
judges are supposed to remove.
The ground of contest is that in the
three precincts mentioned the ballots
are all marked so that they can be
identified because the judges failed to
remove the number slips when they de-
tached the stubs.
