The Harrison times., 1914-06-13

tion Of an exhaustive nature was made
of this matter and the committee by
the decisive vote of 22 to 8 determined
that this part Of the allegations was
wholly unsustained by the proof, and
accordingly dismissed the complaint
and declared the contestee the nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party.
"Third-The contestant has present
ed no substantial evidence in addition
to that heard by the State Central
Committee in support Of his allega-
tion that the returns from Poinsett
county had been fraudulently changed
after the declaration of the result by
the county convention. He asks for
an enlargement Of time as well as an
enlargement Of the scope of the inves-
tigaton so that there may be a gen
eral examination Of the condi,i sur
rounding the primary election in Poin-
sett county on March 25, 1914 This
is a departure from the issue pre-
serted in his petition, and in the opin-
ion Of this committee, his application
is not supported by a sufficient show
ing to warrant the belief that any
such investigation If ordered, would
justify a change in the result as de-
clared by the State Central Commit
tee.
"Fourth-The committee is of the
opinion that the hearing and decision
by the State Central Committee was
broad and fair, and that the substan-
tial rights Of the contestants were
duly considered, and that he has fail
ed to sustain the grounds Of contest
alleged by him. The committee there
fore recommends the adoption Of the
resolution accompanying this report,
approving and affirming the decision
and finding Of the state central com
mittee and declaring the contestee
Clarke to be the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party for the office of United
States Senator.
"Fifth-It Is recommended that the
convention shall Immediately proceed
to the consideration Of the accompany
ing resolution or any substitute of.
fered therefor upon the presentation
Of this report, and that consideration
shall continue to be privileged and
special question, entitled to continu.
Gus consideration until finally dis.
posed Of, And the chairman Is direct
ed to disregard all dilatory motions
or obstructive methods until the mat
ter has been submitted to the final
vote Of the convention"
