AREC0UNTlN
/. COUNTY ] VOTE:
r. L. Best Considering Action;
Says Voters Intent Was
Defeated
HEDSTROM LEAD UP

R. E. Best, candidate for the
legislature, who, with General E. A.
Williams, was a total of 1OS
votes behind Victor Anderson, one
of three winners, said today that
he was considering a request for a
recount Of the votes. There were,
he says, number of ballots count
ed wrongly in the city wards. On
some ballots voter marked his
ballot for all three of the regular,
Republican candidates-Anderson,
Heaton and Harrington-and then
also in another column for Williams
in some instances and Best IN
others. In some Of the precincts the
entire vote on representatives was
thrown out, since the voter could
vote for but three. In others a vote
was cancelled for 4, the regular Re-
publican candidate. and then, for the
name in the Individual column vot-
ed for. The real intent, Mr.. Best
says, was that the voter should vote
for Williams because he crossed to
the individual column to. do so, and
in the. cancellation the intent Of
the voter was defeated. It is pos
sible, he said, from the reports from
various boards that enough mis-
takes, as he contends, were made
that would change the final result.
dThe majority of Albin Hedstrom
for sheriff Of iBurleigh county was
raised from 80 to 81 in the official
canvassing board figures, it was an
nounced today. The change result
ed, according to members Of the
canvassing board, not from the
books Of the various precincts but
from wrong footing on the unof-
ficial sheet in the auN itor's office,
posted from unofficial returns. The
booksy showed only few changes,
they said, Kelly gaining one or two
and Hedstrom doing the same.

(By the Assoc;ateds pres,

ny the AssociatedsP Press)
Berlin, Nov. 20-Nearly week
has passed since the cabinet Of
Chancellor Wirth resigned, and the
ministerial crisis is considered to be
still far from settled. When He..
Cuno accepted the task Of constitut
ing new cabinet Of work as he des-
cribed it, it was hoped he would have
all the port folios, or at least the
most Of them, filled by today, but
SUCH difficulties have developed that
it is believed likely he may even
abandon the effort altogether.
The Chancellor-designate finds
himself baked in his plans to Sc.
cure a cabinet made up of the middle
and socialist parties as the social
lists, opposed to what they term Herr
Cuno's "free hand" policy, have vot-
ed through the socialist party unitei
board to abstain from taking any
ministerial portfolios. They base
their attitude to some extent on the
,party's opposition TO the industrial
party, feeling that should the social
lists accept cabinet pests they would
be forced to have dealings with the
industrialist.

) Although declaring in a review Of
the long and bitter controversy over
his right to place in the senate
since his election over Henry Ford,
his Demo ocratic opponent, four years
ago, that this right had been afully
confirmed" Mr. Newberry in his
letter said he had been impe1led to
retire from that body because Of the
defeat Of his Republican colleague,
Senator Townsend, in the November
z election. At the same time. in
discussing the controversy in it's re-
lation. to, the campaign just closed,
during which, 1t was an issue il
many states, Mr.. Newberry expresy-
ed the conviction that "fair. an
alysis of the vote in Michigan and
other states where friends and poll

feat, will demonstrate that
general feeling Of unrest was main

: The present situation, he said,
rendered, "futile" his further ser.
vice in the senate since II meant he
would continue to be hampered by
partisan political prosecution"
Should future opportunity present
itself, Mr., Newberry added, he
would not hesitate to offer himself
to his state and country.
Before the case passed as an issue
into therecent campaign the senate
had upheld Mr.. Newberry's title to
a seat by Q margin Of five votes,
but it appeared that the fight was
again to be resumed early in this
session of congress.
