net gain was 19. In the count of
June the Goth, Cats led Knott by
only 26O votes, including second
choice votcs,ou of a total of about
| IS, 900 first choice votes and about
10000 second choice votes. Out
of a total of about 135,000 first
and second choice votes, Cats led
Knott in first and second choice
voter by only 260. In this one
precinct of Al first choice votes
and 81 second choice votes Knott
gained 1S votes. There are over
1,100 precinsts in Florida.
In precinct No. Az Of Hillsbor-
ough county the same kind of err
ror was made, all the second
choice votes being placed immed-
lately to the right of the names OF
the candidates and in the second
choice column of Cats. AS OF
these votes came from the voters
who cast first choice for Knott,
they could not be counted for
Cats. Cats received credit for
10 second choice votes. In the
recount, by the same inspectors,
Cats received 3 second choice vot-
es which were cast by the voters
who voted their first choice for
Knott. Therefore, Cats lost in
the recount all of the second
choice votes originally credited to
him, 10; Knott gained 4, making
a net gain for Knott of IA; Wood
gained 2, Farris /, Hudson 2. Can
any one say that Knott was not
entitled to such votes? In other
counties the second choice votes
were placed in the dead squares
where it was impossible for any
one to tell for whom the voters
cast their first choice votes. Ihey
were therefore not counted. Inc
court very properly ordered a re-
count in such precincts. In pre-
cinct No. 20 Of Suwannee county
