W. W. Booher. former editor of the
Elko Independent, who was defeated in
the race for the assembly at the last
election by Allen G. Mcbride by a plu-
rality of three votes. has made appli-
cation to the board of county commission
ers of E:lko county for a recount of alt
the vot IS cast in Elko county
The application was filed last Satur-
day under the provisions of Section 1913
of the revised statutes of Nevada %
1912. The Eko commissioners fixed
last Tuesday as the time for the be-
ginning of the recount but when they
assembled a writ of prohibition was
served upon them based upon the ground
that the law creating Section 1913 Is
unconstitutional and also that the said
section was repealed by implication in
the general election law passed by the
legislature of 1918. Next Monday. the
14tht inst. has been fixed as the date
IOT the nedIlIiS VI lHciidttcT III ihc ui'
trict court at Elko.
iThe points raised by Mr.. MeBride's
attorney are identical with the views
expressed by judge j. M. Breeze. attor-
ney for L. II. Beason when the Walker
Beason recount came up before thu
commissioners of Lincoln county oil
November 26 In the latter case Judge
Bleeze simply filed a protest, pointing
out that any proceedings attempted un
der the provisions of Section 1913 woul'
be iAosal and void for the reasons
stated
1t is evident from the reports re-
ceived from Elko county that Mr.
Mcbride proposes to fight the case t
finish and having taken the matte
into the court to test the constitution
alitv of the law as well as to contes
other features mentioned, the proceed
ings will be watched with a good dea
of interest in all parts of the state an
particularly in this county where tn
same questions were raised in the Walk
er-Beason case.
