Editor Graphic:
For the reason that the public is.
and should be, vitality interested in
what the testimony being taken by the
subcommittee appointed by the JEFF
ferson County Central Committee is
in regard to the contest in the Sher-
ifs race. and for the reason that
some CT the friends and attorneys of
MIR. Williams are claiming to be gain
ing ground by each days investiga-
ton, we deem it right and proper to
give to the public through your
columns, the facts in regard to this
contest, that they may see for them
selves.
1t is our contention, and the proof
will verify, that in the country pre-
oincts which have already been nves-
tigated by this committee, Mr.. Brew
ster made steady gains, and left the
country many votes in the lead of
where he was when they began taking
testimony. Yesterday the committee
spent the entire day investigating and
hearing proof in regard to the Third
Ward. This is the ward where Will
liams and his attorneys claimed he
would gain more than twenty votes,
and where some of them are still
claiming he made small gains. Listen
at the facts. Williams. for various
reasons, challenged the following vot-
ers, and no others: Ticket No. 105
