H0BS0N DEPENDS0N FORGERY
CHARGE IN COUNTY SEAT FEIJD
Will File Answer to County and Stanford Within 20 Days
Angered by Commissioners Putting in Denial
of Accusations of Fraud.
SpeciaI to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Hobson, Aug. 3.-Hobson attorneys
in the county seat fight expect to put
in their reply to that Of Stanford il
less than the legal 20 days. and say
they will ask for the earliest possible
trial of the case. They say they hope
the court will set tho case for Septem-
:ber or October and II urge the neces-
sity of this to save Judith Basin county
expense.
The Hobson forces are feeling iubi-
Giant over phases of the Stanford inter
.vention and answer, though chagrined
over the action of the county commits
tsioners after pledging to remain neu-
ltral and then coming out in a denial of
lHobson's charges of fraud in the cleo
Ltion that gave Stanford the county seat
They say the Stanford answer and the
statement of the commissioners were
prepared on the same typewriter the
answer of the county and that of Stan
ford being also worded identically in
their introductions, with extra matter
added to that Of Stanford. They are
asking what right Stanford's attorneys
had to be preparing the answer of the
county and the commissioners unless
the latter are favoring Stanford. con-
'trary to the promise of neutrality the
them.
The Hobson forces also are rejoicing
because the answer does not cite
single case of fraud or dishonesty on
the part of HObson or contain any allie
cations as to the use Of liquor. Hob
son workers have been very indignant
because Stanford has accused them fire.
quentfy through the papers of having
used booze to obtain votes They now
claim their denials of these charges are
substantiated by Stanford's failure to
cite solitary instance in their answer.
Drouth Act Votes at Stake.
The judith River townspeople claim
that the 80 absent voters who are call
ed into question by Stanford are an
1ona noe residents except one, who
did not vote at all. All of them voted
under genuine applications pronerlv
executed, there being no forgeries or
illegal witnessing, such as that of which
two Stanford citizens are accused on
failing their arrest. The 81 alleged
Illegal registrations are cases where
the parties registered at the polls in
1919 under the drouth relief act, which
specifically allowed voters not already
registered to do. Stanford evidently
believes that this law is unconstitu.
tlonal and that all registration under
it are illegal. Hobson claims that IL
this ls so, Stanford will lose as many
votes as Hobson, as both towns had
many voters who were registered under
this law.

this affidavit. two prominent citizens
Of Stanford are now under arrest and
out on $250O bond, for having witness
ed what is declared to have been his
forged signature to an absent voter s
applica ton and swearing that he was
a resident and qualified elector of
Judith Basin county. The Hobson at
torneys further claim that this affidav-
it is now on file with County Attorney
Muzzey, for use in the prosecution of
the two men under arrest
1t is also claimed that other votes
named as being rejected by the judges
Of election were properly SO rejected
For instance, it is alleged that virtu-
ally all the 45 votes thrown out were
those of absent voters and nearly all
Of them were rejected because of forg-
ed signatures to the application. In
the Stanford precincts, the Hobson
chaliengers claim that on many Of the
absent ballots the judges compared the
signatures. and finding that one was a
forgery, wrote, "Bum Signature" across
that envelope.
Rosenquist Acted Alone for Board.
OF the votes claimed to be illegal
IN Hobson precinct, the attorneys for
Hobson declare the record show that
b per cent Of these people never voted
at all. There were slight defects in
the acknowledgement or witnessing Of
their applications and the election
judges promptly threw them out. The
same is true Of votes rejected at Utica
Ihe separate answer which was filed
by A. Rosenquist, on behalf of the
county commissioners and the county,
has caused considerable indignation on
the east side of the county. The board
promised a delegation from Hobson
two weeks ago that they would be ab
solutely neutral in the fight, The
Hobeon forces feel that they went back
on this promise, as they deny every
important allegation in Hobson's com
paint They do not even do this on
information and belief" but positively
swear, SO it is claimed, that non-resi-
dents did not vote, and that no illegal
voting took place whatever,
Hobson claims that the official rec
ords Of Cascade, MusselshelI. Fergus
and other counties show that people
we're registered and claimed their res;-
