Claims in Answer in District Attorney Contest
That at Least SNty-six of Alleged I'll
legal Voters" Were Legal
ASKS DISMISSAL OF SYMMONDS' SUIT
Defense Finds That One Person Not Citizen of the
United States Voted Illegally for Symmonds
at November Election.

the Office of district attorney. The
answer states that one, Margaret Bel
schner, of the town of Paris, voter
for the relator (Symmonds) unlaw-
fully, for the reason that she was not
a citizen Of the state Of Wisconsin or
of the United States.
The history of the recount pro-
ceedings is given once more in the
answer showing that there have been
three recounts of the vote cast for
district attorney.
Claim Case is Ended.
The first recount of the returns for
the Office of district attorney by the
board of county canvasseTs was given
at the request of Morris Barnett and
the recount showed that he had a
majority of two votes; the second re-
count was given at the request Of
Frank S. Symmonds and this showed
Barnett to have a majority of one
vote. Symmonds appealed from this
recount to the circuit court, and after
his appeal was heard and the votes
counted again and decided according
to the ruling of the referee, 1t was
found that Barnett had been elected
by majority of twenty votes. Stew
art in behalf of Barnett again claims
that Symmonds is stopped from furth-
er prosecution of the action as the mat
ter has already been adjudicated in
circuit court.
Except in one instance the answer
does not go into the matter of the
number of the alleged Illegal voters
believed to have voted for Symmonds
or for Barnett, but lays some en-
phasis on the statement that a number
of these voters alleged by Symmonds
to have voted illegally were in fact
legal voters.
Gives List of Legal Voters.

ward named by Symmonds as illegal
are given new listing in Barnett'a
answer as legal, and these are as fol-
