Hon. Rankin Wiley was notified a,
his home at Pt. Pleasant of the claim
Of Congressman Hughes, that notice
must be served en- him on or before
December s, In order to legally qualify
and that no such notice had been
served
Mr. Wiley said that he had lad his
contest prepared by his counsel and
that the notice had been mailed to
Washington and would be served on
Hughes within the time limi- He
said that he had been advised 1t was
not necessary to have Notice served
on the contestee within 80 DAYS. but
whether or not it was necessary he
was taking This step so as to insure
himself against technical error.
Thus. 1t develops, The predicted con-
test is on. The preliminary step has
already been taken and he oft re-
peated story in republican newspapers
and told by the postoffice brigade,
that there would be no contest is
beIied
In the recent cleo ion Congre 3sman
Hughes. of Cabell, was elected on the
face of the returns with reduced ma
iority and with an actual minority in
practically every county in The dis
rio except Mingo aud Mcdowell.
There the returns were not given by
precincts but total majority was
announced by the republican officers
in charge at the polls.
Sharp practices had been resorted
TO- and democrats were not permit
ted 10 participate in the differing of
the election in the regular way In
stead the county court of Mcdowell
refused 10 name the commissioners
recommended by the democratic coun-
ty committee. and substituted nomin-
al democrats who would do is bid
ding.
In Mingo county democratic chal-
lengers we're driven from the polls
and fake arrests made to prevent
corruption
Mr.. Wiley was advised of the siua-
ton and it was pointed out that while
there was a complete reversal in the
polling in West Virginia all over the
state. as we'll as in the nation, the
discredited maiorities of the past still
held firm in Mingo and Mcdowell.
On the prima facie evidence 'of
fraud in the differing of the polls and
o her evidence of Irregularities Mr..
Wiley based his contest. This is the
chief point raised.
While there has been much clamor
in republican newspapers in he dis
trict, republican newspapers in
other districts. while MOI supporting
| Mr.. Wney's contention. have face i
ously commented on the Mcdowell
majorities.
| The fac that the contest has now
become live wire viii serve to bring
| ar once to the surface he alarm the
republican newspapers and leaders
| have felt, for it is pretty generally
believed even in republican circles
| that the Wiley contest will serve to
| uphorse HUGHES.
