Deen officially declared, protest
from o. H. Keep, Jr., of Issaouena
county, on the action of declaring his
opponent, l.. c. Dulaney nominated for
the senate from the twentieth district
was presented. Mr.. Keep claimed that
Mr.. Dulaney declined to have his
name printed on the ticket in Sharkev
county, but that he had been invited
TO do so. He alleged that the distric.
committee threw out his, Keeps vote
IN Sharkey, and that Mr. Dulaney had
received majority in Issaauena. Mr..
Dulaney being declared the nominee
despite the fact that the total vote
gave him majority of 345 votes.
1t has been the custom in some
sections of the state for counties to
to alternate in selecting senators and
representatives, one election one

ferred to the committee

should have been named the nominee,
and that the three ballots thrown out
IN Coas,cma county were perfectly |
egal, the mutilations consisting only
n the fact that one was slightly torn,
