So Says the County Execu-
tive Committee.
MORE VOTES
COULD BE POLLED
AT Meedng of the County Committee
Resolutions were Adopted Stating
that no Fraud had Occurred in the
Election of Governor in this Coun.
ty.

The following set of resolutions
passed by the County Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee has been handed
The Advertiser. The resolutions were
ADOPTED after an examination of the
poll lists as compared to the cIub
Tolls set of these nave been sent
to the State Chairman, John Gary Ev
ans and unless more material evil
dence is brought out the inyestiga-
tlon of fraud will be discontinued in
thls county. The resolutions follow.
10 the State Executive COMMITTEES.
we the undersigned members of
the Laurens County Executive Com
m1ttee do respectfully represent that
we met at Laurens Court House on
thls 18th, day of September, 1912.
and recounted the votes received by
Cole l.. Blease, John T. Duncan and
Ira b. Jones, candidates for governor.
we find no fraud, irregularities or
anything that would vitiate the cleo
tlon. The votes polled in each of the
precincts corresponded with the poll
lists and the tabulated report hereto
fore sent to your honorable commit
tee is correct expression of the peo-
pie of Laurens County, who were duly
qualified to vote in the Democratic
Primary election. We find that the
number of votes polled in this county
were not in excess OF the number of
duly qualified electors of this county.
We further represent thu. Laurens
County can poll more votes than were
polled on the 9th day of Aug, 1912.
When the Executive Committee met
today resolution was introduced by
r. p. Adair, Jones supporter and
was seconded by j. G. Mcdaniel, a
Blease supporter to make this re-
count, which said resolution was unan-
imously adopted. The executive Com
mittee of this county is about equally
divided between the Blease and Jones
faction.
Since making this recount we feel
that Laurens County should be elm
mated from the contest now being
had and that the fair name of the
county should not be held up to the
State as having conducted an illegal
and fraudulent election.
All boxes for all precincts for the
county are intact and under lock and
key and are here for inspection for
your committee or any subcommittee
therefrom.

Buy Timber Near Troy

John Mc1nnis, ST., of Spokane, father
of the McInnis brothers, we'll known
timber operators in this section, has
purchased from the Forest Service six
million feet of saw timber and 100, 900
cedar poles, located near Troy, Mont.
Whether he will put in a saWmill or sell
the logs to existing sawmill companies
is as yet undecided, but it is probable
that they will interest some single mill
operator to handle the large cedar on
the tract.
The work of getting out the timber is
to start at once and a camp of rs men
is to be established. ALT McInnis will
have charge of the logging operations,
and left for Troy this week after. pur-
chasing several teams and engaging
number of men from this locality.
