ARGUMENT
IS FEAT RE Of
COURT CONTEST

In accordance with his previous an
nouncement, no rulings we're made by
Judge Stanford yesterday on disputed
ballots in the Hunt Campbell contest.
The ballots in three precincts were
counted: Douglas No. o, Douglas No.
and Cochise. In the latter precinct.
one ballot was laid aside for court
ruling. In Douglas No. 6, seventeen bal
lots are awaiting the courts ruling,
ard in Douglas No. .. twenty ballots.
This makes a total of 1926 exhibits to
date.
There was less argument on disputed
ballots yesterday than an almost any
previous day. the only question of i'm
portance involved being on ballots
marked void. Many terms have been
used by the various election boards
