No serious consideration has been

contest started in Mcdowell county
by Lilly forces yesterday and the re-
ports published in the Democratic
newspapers of the state today that et'
fort would be made to throw out
twelve hundred votes, enough TO noml-
nate Lilly, are not regarded with any
idea that any definite charge is eS-
pected to be made but that the con-
test has been instituted as a pretense
TO delay the certification OF Judge
Robinson's nomination.
The grounds set for the contest in
stituted BY the Lilly forces in McDow'
ell county are all technical. such as
the failure to use affirmations books
in some precincts and the registration
by affidavits that. were in the regular
stipulated form If such technical OBJ
jections were brought into use in all
the counties of the state, Judge Rob-
inson's majority would be increased to

that the face of the returns will be &C.
