which asks recount of the votes.
The contest charges that Peddy was
actually elected, but in the event the
senate does not so decide, the petit
ton asks that Mayfield be barred
from taking the seat in the senate.
Peddy based his claim on the al
legation that 100000 votes counted
for Mayfield were illegal and fraud
ulent, and that several thousand cast
for Peddy were not counted. The
expenditure of $l5O.0OO in behalf of
Mayfield in the primary election, in
violation Of the state law limiting
the expenditure to $4,000 it is
charged. The printing Of Mayfield's
name on the ballot was made illegal,
it was contended. by the alleged ex-
penditures, and that he is alleged to
be in conspiracy with the khan. The
contest petition states that Peddy's
name was illegally denied a place on
the ballot.
The petition alleges that there is
conspiracy to secure political and
commercial domination, and that
this conspiracy is assisted BY va
rious state and county officials of
Texas. The personal qualifications
Of Mayfield are challenged because
of his alleged violation of the cor
rupt practices act. alleged false tes-
timony in connection with the Corsi-
cana injunction case. and alleged
misuse and abuse of his official
powers as railroad commissioner to
compel the financial and political
support and contributions by indi-
viduals and corporations having busi-
ness with the railroad road commits
sion, and for his alleged membership
and approval Of the Ku Klux Klaa
and its activities.
The Ku klux Klan il charged in
the petition with concealing its real
designs under a cloak Of patriotic
intentions in order to hide plans to
subject the government and consti-
tuition 70 the invisible empire with a
conspiracy to evade and defeat fed
eral and state laws.
