We do not concede defeat by any means" declared Judge Foster, We'd nesday night.
 Already we have uncovered gross discrepancies in reports published in the Underwood press and the returns as wired to Musgrove headquarters by our managers.
 All the later returns Wednesday afternoon have been in favor of Mr. Musgrove, and we have supreme confi- dence that the official count will show that Musgrove has made gains suff- cient to overcome the Underwood lead as shown in early unofficial returns. He will be elected by the second choice vote.
 Our managers and friends have been urged to remain on guard and to protect the interests of MT. Mus. grove in the official count Until that is done we shall not be disposed to make any concessions.
 MT. Musgrove has made the great. est fight ever waged against odds in this state, and we do not propose to surrender to the propaganda that is still being put out by the Underwood press On the other hand we shall fight until the last vote is counted.
 In the race for board of revenue, un- official returns indicated that Jerry Gwin had been returned by a clear ma jority. His vote. with nine boxes mfss- ing, was 11,754.
