with the Republicans. The result was
Oh TO -.
The two chief ornaments against
the recounts were that they would be
expensive and would tend TO block
more important legislative business,
which has already been considerably
delayed In bringing the insurgent
Republicans into line. II was pointed
out That the COSTS need not be large
nor the work burdensome, for the rea-
son that the committees themselves
could discriminate between the mer-
itorious cases and those based on
mere conjecture, By making each con-
testant show cause why his case
should be taken up, and leaving the
burden OF yroof with him.
Such policy was suggested for the
guidance OF the committees by Rep.
Skeels, OF Oceana, who made the only
speech on the question The men
who changed their votes may be said
TO have gained, in part. at least, the
points OF their contention.

more than $500 with double that
