NOTICE OF CONTEST is
FILED BY l.. T.. TANNER

AT Owensboro, Saturday, Ben. ID.
Ringo, Commonwealth Attorney,
was served with notice of contest
of his nomination in the recent pri-
mary, by Deputy Sheriff James How
ard, on behalf of Lawrence p. Tan
ner, the unsuccessful candidate
against Mr.. Ringo.
1t is alleged in the notice served
on Mr.. Ringo that from ten to twen-
ty-dive votes were counted for him in
each and every precinct in Daviess,
Ohio, Mclean and Hancock counties
enormously, or by fraud, more than
should have been certified from the
face of the ballots. The same num-
ber. according to the notice, should
have been counted for the contest
ant. The returns of the election Of
ficers, it is charged, are untrue and
Incorrect in this.
Bribery by you, or your agents,
by payment of money for votes,
which influenced as many as 200 per-
sons to cast their votes for you that
would have been cast for me-" is
charged in the notice.
A recount of the ballots in each
of the precincts in the four counties
is asked, and finally ii is stated that
the contestant will pray the court to
have his name placed on the regular
election ballot in November to be
voted for. instead of that of the con-
testee.
Answer to the notice will be filed
by the contestee within short time
after filing the notice in the Circuit
Court Clerks Office.
The majority of Ringo in the four
counties of the district was 221.
We are sorry that this contest has
been brought by Mr.. Tanner, for We
do not believe that Mr.. Ringo, nor
anyone acting for him, was guilty of
any crooked dealing in the recent
primary. especially in the manner as
charged. and we feel confident that
the many friends Of Mr.. Ringo
throughout the district are of the
same opinion. Mr.. Ringo is an hon
est. conscientious and faithful ON
cial. II is matter of general regret
among Democrats that Mr.. Tanner
has seen fit 20 thus mar Democratic
prospects and cast a reflection upon
map of such upright character as
Mr.. Ringo.
