ness Shape.

The official canvassing board did !
not convene today. Tomorrow 1t will
resume and take up the larger differ
ences that have arisen during the pro-
gress of the count. Although no Of !
ficial programme has been laid out it
10 understood that the case of 0. l.. |
Owen, Democratic candidate for cor
poration commissioner, will be taken
up first. H. l.. Patton and H. D. Ter
rel, attorneys of Clovis will argue the
case for Mr.. Owen.
An error in the prip.t of the name
in Luna and McKk .y counties is re-
sponsible for the apparent defeat of
Mr.. Owen. The board is asked not to
count the 800 votes for SOL Owen as
having been cart for o. L. Owen, al
though that gentleman contends that
they should be counted for him, as
the intent of the vc*ers is undisputed.
The dispute over the returns from
Melrose precinct, Curry county, and
Carthage, Reserve and Gila precincts,
Socorro county, will also be argued.
Another matter that will come be-
fore the board tomorrow afternoon is
the argument for and against accept
ing Clayton precinct returns of Union
county, without the signature of the
judges of the election who declare
they will not sign because of certain
irregularities at the polls.
There are many other irregularities
of lesser consequence to straighten
out and minor differences to be ad.
justed. 1t is believed, however, that
the board will have it's report ready to
forward to Washington by Saturday
and that the approval of the president
will be received before the first Of
the year.
