Tn the Sir Walter Hotel,



Raleigh. JAN. 25.-The legislatures
"long week" wherein every one was
to work at top speed over the week
ends as well as through the middle
appears to have begged down badly,
and there are very clear indications
that the solons are about back to old
time form.
Saturday saw the most desultorN
sessions yet, with almost less than
nothing done in either House or Sen
ate. And then, to cap the climax, both
groups adjourned until p. m. Mon
day. thus reverting to the same old
routine which has marked previous
biennial sessions of the legislature.
In the House the recess until Mon
dav night was taken upon motion of
Representative w. Pat Kinney, of
Transylvania, but it was very obvious
that practically every one of the ex-
tremely small group of representa-
tives present was in favor of taking
as much time off as possible.

Republicans in Charge of Districts Designated in Even
 Numbers; Vote Shows loS Difference as Compared to Machine Figures-Democrats Show 22l

Charges of discrepancies between the totals shown on the protective counters of the B4 voting machines used in the october 9th election and General Moderator James R. Mc- Mahons totals were described as ridiculous" as basis of allegations Of Irregularities today by several cleo. ton officials.
 Counsel for seven Fusion candi- dates, declared defeated by Moder. ator McMahon, had presented Q copy of these totals which showed Q "dlscrep&ncy" of 4io votes, the machine total, 3e,6i0; the modera. tors total of the vote cast for mayor, 30,io7.
 Described as Joke
 "AS support of an allegation Of irregularity in the last election, the presentation of these figures iS Q Joke" ara election official declared. He suggested that the district votes Do tabulated individually aS to juris- diction, Democratic or Republican. In the odd numbered district there was Q Democratic moderator, in the ven.numbered, c Republican.
 Taking this set of figures, The Democrat finds that in the districts where 0 Democratic moderator was in charge, there were 22i votes more shown on tho protective counters than reported by tho inoderators' totals. In the districts whero c Re. publican moderator supervised and prepared tho report, ioe moro votes showed Oil tho machines than tho inoderators reported.
 Breaking this set of figures down to tho individual districts, the odd' numbered with Democratic moder. ators, tho even, with Republican, the following b developed;

Vote,, Il for two machines.
 District 9: Surplus of machine vote, 3l for four machines.
 District g.: Surplus A, for four machines.
 District {: Surplus 30, for three machines.
 The similarity O. discrepancies in both the Republican, controlled and Democratic Inoderators' districts lS borne out down through the list. But the fact that in District D. where more than 5000 persons voted, five machines showed Q surplus ot only g votes was considered refu- tation of the Fusion allegation Of Irregularities by the officials.
 Normal Figures
 "The normal surplus of machine counter totals over nnoderators' fig ures runs between Q and iS votes Q machine" one official remarked "On the face of the figures offered, 1t seems to me that tho so-called discrepancies are even smaller than normal In many districts. Which would Indicate that all of these als legations are basSd on nothing but suspicion that something ought to have happened" ho added.
 This consideration b borne out by tho figures In district Il, where tho machine Surplus was II votes for four machines, or 2 3.4 votes per machine. In the l4th district, how ever, tho machine counter surplus was 37 votes for four machines, or 0 i-4 votes per machine.
 Thus, little importance has been given the charges Of discrepancies aS based on tho machine figures by those who have analysed tho mat ter, it was stated.
