had been declared unsatisfactory. In the

vote for one presidential elector in one
precinct was missing. investigation con-
WINGED members of the democratic state
central committee that no action need be
taken, as there was no official proof that
votes had been cast for the candidate.
Inasmuch as the final result in the state
was in no way affected by the omission,
it was decided not to demand a reopening
of the ballot box.
Secretary Jordan said he was certain

layed.
