The same authority stated that the
belief at Republican headquarters that
there had been no intentional fraud of
a character to Justify drastic action
was growing as the reports or lnNes-
tigators were received.
"All we ask is a legal count" he
added. "we stand on that. Any
steps we may take will be based on
that We want the ballots legally,
not partisanly, counted. If that shall
be done. VIC have no complaint to
make"
1t is possible If further reports shall
disclove variance In the counting of
scratched ballots otherwise voted
straight steps will be taken to obtain
a ruling from the supreme court as
to the Legal way to count. Thereupon,
a demand may be made for "a recount.
1t seems more Shan likely in the
event the situation warrants an APP
peal to the supreme court, that the
matter will go to the legislature.
GOVERNOR STILL LEADS.
Today both sides admit Governor
Alexander is still in the lead. Secre-
tary Gregory claims gain of 80 in
Bannock and in Nez Perez, leaving
the governor 1850 ahead on the secre-
tary's revised figures.
The other side was informed today
that the Power county count had in
creased the governors lead by 80. This
is denied at Republican headquarters,
where it is stated Davis lead in Power
county stands 317.
Conceding the Power county gain for
the governor and also the Bannock and
Nez Perce gains claimed for Davis, the
governors lead would still be 6S1 on
the basis of the latest tabulation for
him.
If there has been no such gain for
the governor in Power, he would still
be 551 in the lead, on the basis of his
secretary's tabulation, admitting the
Nez Perez and Bannock gains for
Davis.
