daughter. Ruth, and Mr.. Charles Clifton

place in November.
The contention over Mr.. Philip D. Laird's
nomination for the Legislature from this
county by Mr.. j. FUR White seems to be
almost endless. After Mr.. Laird received
the nomination according to the official
returns, the first protest was a recount of
the vote between him and Mr.. White, with
the resultin favor Of Mr.. Laird. The second
protest was petition asking the Super
visors of Elections to count four rejected
votes in lower Wheaton precinct in favor
of Mr.. White. The result of this proceed
ing was in Mr.. Laird's favor. Now the
Circuit Court has been petitioned to pass
an order compelling the counting of the
four tickets in question in behalf of Mr..
White. A full Bench will sit here to hear
the argument next Monday afternoon at
O'Clock.
