Portland Republican
Primary Candidate
For Representative
Asks for Recount

An application for an examination
of the ballots case in the city of
Portland in the recent primary cleo
ton was filed at the Department of
State Thursday by Moses +. Stiles,
one Of the defeated candidates for
the Republican nomination for the
House of Representatives from the
city of Portland.
Mr.. Stiles petition is as follows:
Il hereby request that the ballots
for the city of Portland cast at the
election on June 1t. 1924. in so far
as they relate to the election of rep
resentatives to the legislature for the
Republican party. be examined in
accordance with the provisions of
chapter 233 Of the public laws OF
1919 and that seasonable notice be
given to all candidates who are in
terested in said examination as pro-
vided for by the election laws of the
State of Maine.
My reasons for making this re-
quest are that the return or record
Of the votes cast in the said city OF
Portland for the offices of repre-
sentatives to the legislature for the
Republican party do not correctly
state the vote as actually cast in said
city of Portland"
