reached. The "wets" say III such inn

power to see that the town is made

The contest will be brought by a
petition in the circuit court for
Brown county. The law allows the
Judge to call a special term of court
to settle the matter at once, and at
the hearing all the ballots cast will
be recounted. and all the ballots in
any manner claimed to be illegal will
be marked and set aside, separate
from those over which there is no dis
pute. Upon the contested ballots the
circuit Judge will make findings as to
their legality or illegality, and as to
which way they should be counted,
and upon these findings, and the re-
suits found by these findings, the
court will enter judgment as to the
result of the election. From this
judgment. an appeal can be taken to
the state supreme court by either
party to the action.

Atlanta, Ga.-Although the highest
court In the land has decreed that he
must pay the death penalty for the
murder of little Mary Phagan, Leo
Frank has not given up his fight. His
attorneys are now busy on new plans,
and the young man, condemned to the
gallows, is still hopeful. The supreme
court of the United States in deciding
that his trial had been fair, that the
jury had not been influenced by public
sentiment, apparently blasted his last
hope.
There was N ray of light, however.
He could appeal to the governor of
Georgia for clemency, but there was
no further legal action apparent
All the nation watched this case
closely. Friends of Frank held that
race prejudice entered into the trial.
Frank is a Jew. Hundreds of letters
