fraud ana trlckery. lie repeated as
typical the charge In the majority re-

the democratic judges of said election

/ were republicans TO cast their ball
/ lot, and that regardless of the fact
that the other two judges OF SAID
election ruled ana decided tnat sucn

/ precinct at such election the demo-
cratic election judge forcibly TOOK

fused to allow said voters TO cast

vided by law
The speaker asserted that these
