we can talk roads as much as we want

1t is not an infreGuent thing, In

hear it said, We are paying and
paying for good roads, yet the roads

such admonitions as the average

One most highly interesting an

said party for said office.
Your petioner hereby files this
contest against the nomination Of the
said Anderson and charges legal
fraud therein for the following rea-
sons and on the following grounds.
/. At said primary election held
at the Spears voting precinct IN SAID
district. one Nj. William Kenneday,
who was and is Republican in his
politics and not a member of the
Democratic party as required by the
statutes, was permitted to vote by
majority of the Judges of SAID cleo
ton at said voting precinct, and that
by reason thereof there was vote
cast against your petitioner, without
which vote your petitioner would
have been declared the nominee of
said party, o., there would have been
a tie between your petitioner and the
said Anderson. That the said Ken
neday was not entitled to vote IN
election and that the action OF the
officers of said election in permitting
him to participate therein was III
violation of the law and of the
rights of your petitioner, and mater
tally affected and changed the results
of sad primary.
g. That at said primary, MIR. K.
Koonce. a resident citizen and white
Democratic qualified elector of said
district and voting precinct, was not
allowed to vote, but was required to
cast his ballot in an envelope and his
vete was never counted. That but
for this action on the part of the
election officers your petitioner would
have been declared the nominee OF
said party for said office, and that this
action on the part of the officers OF
election and refusal to count said vote

YOUR petitioners rights and materially

said election. That the said X.
Koonce was then and had been for
49 years regular, qualified, white
Democratic elector of said district
and precinct, and his name was reg
ulariy and properly on the Poll Book
in said precinct and he was permitted
to vote in the first primary, but the
refusal to allow him to vote IN the
second primary was arbitrary. with

statutes.
