tion, the vote was again counted TO
satisfy other contestants. who OBJ
jected to a few votes being counted
which passed thru the hands of the

turns dropped 10 last place, and But
Ter remained in second place, sttll one
vote from the top. The count of the
votes at the polls showed tie between

were not counted and another was in
cluded in the count which would
change the vote but not the result, 1t

would add two to Ford's total and one
10 the Butler vote, but the ballot IN
controversy which was counted showed
markings for three candidates instead
Of two, the voter checking the names
of Bell, Ford and Butler. This ballot
should have been thrown out, il was
agreed, and would take vote from
each Ford and Butler and leave the
result the same as shown by the count
Of Saturday.
Where Votes Were Changed.
The recount showed changes in all
wards except the Fifth, the recount in
that ward checking out with the cleo
ton returns. The greatest discrepancy
was said to have been found in the
First ward, where nineteen votes were
