The leaders over there tell me that Il
they had had their ballots said Mr..
hoenig, the Taft vote would have beer
doubled"
Mr.. Roosevelt: -In the Thirty fifth
Assembly district the Roosevelt tick ct
was fnisprinted. 80 that the delegates
appeared to be running for the national
committee instead OF the national con
vention."
Mr.. koenig: That's true. but IN the
ballots were marked under the Roosevelt,
emblem they were bound TO be counted
for Roosevelt whether the printing was
wrong or not"
The Colonel: In many OF the district
he ballots were so printed that two or
three feet OF blank space was left under
the Roosevelt emblem and the voters did
not understand that what was below was
the Roosevelt ticket at all
MI. koenig: The placing Of the names
OF the delegates to the national con-
vention at the bottom Of the ballot was in
accordance with the decision Of the Court
OF Appeals. rendered last Thursday after
noon. Let him recall the Judges. The
biank spaces appeared on tickets where
mere was no contest on for leader ship
in the district"
Mr. koenig went on TO remark that the

puzzled by the way ballots were folded
was ridiculous: that his statement that the
Independence League sometimes got no
ballots AZ all was "A foolish thing to lay uI
against the Republican county committee

NJ. Bennett. chairman Of the Roosevelt
committee. and Georg. X. Valentine. the
ballot printer. on Tuesday. March Il.
Mt Bennett was Informed that because
OF litigation over the place OF the Roose-

now. remarked Mr.. Bennett iust befor"
Leaving. that in sorre cases the Roosevelt
delegates and tn. Republican delegates
