 Nor must people confuse the contest of 1916 and that of 1918. The circumstances were not the same. h fact the fact in the two contests were re versed In 1916 in the total number of votes boiled Wickersham received flurality The question was as to the legality of the east In 1918 of the total number of a plurality was for Mr. sulzer This fact has not been disputed. The ques- ton again was as the legality of the votes cast.
 It is well recall at this time, also that the action of Congress in seating Judge Wickersham in the 1916 contest in manner reflection upon the action of Judge Jennings in holding that the Canvassing Board should saue q certificate of election to MT Sulzer. Judge Jennings held that the failure of election officers to sign certificates required by law in several precincts fatal defect and that there were, in fact returns from those precincts He held that the Canvassing Board could not be hind the returns, and that on the face of the legal returns Mr Sulzer he'd a plurality of the votes and should have the certificate Of election. Judge Jen pings did not try the contest all. It not presented to him for trial. The proceedings before him confined to the question whom the certificate of election should be issued by Can wasting Board that had power go behind the On the other hand Congress tried the con test. It had power to go behind the returns and did
