two the lawyers got down to argu-
ment of the case On what lay obser-
vers arc likely to regard as the real
merits Of justice of the matter
Said the brief: Surely, it is a rea-
sonable exercise of its (the State
Board of Eelections) powers to mako
as it has done in this case, a distinc-
ii N between questions of eligibility
Oh the one hand and fragrant and
Wholesale fraud on the other. This
court has said, in its last uttarance
On elections, that the courts have not
.abdicated in favor of election frauds.
But in the present case, the plaintiff
(Burgin) urges that the State Board
of Elections should abdicate in favor
of fraud. The mere recital of the
enormous absentee vote in Davidson
county,, amounting to approximately
twenty,four percent of the total, and
that one young lady affixed her sig
nature and seal to approximately four
hundred ninety-one absentee af-
fidavits. and that one candidate
was able to produce before the State
Board of Elections almost three hun
dred affidavits from voters themsel-
YES stating that the votes cast for
them were either forgeries, that they
knew nothing about them or that
they made no affidavit before a no.
tary, is shocking to every sense of
fair play. Is the State Board of Eloc
tons impotent to deal with such
situation, and must it stultify itself
by certifying the results of an cleo
ton which it knew to include ballots
counted as the result of such gross
and fragrant fraud.
''The court below found that every
thing done by the State Board OF
Elections was done in absolute good
faith and that the findings of fact
and conclusions of law made by said
board represented the honest judg-
ment of said board, arrived at after
due consid grafton of the evidence
submitted to it.
Power of Courts Is Issue.
"The question is, shall the courts
of North Carolina interpret the cleo
ton laws in the light of the known
history of elections in this State in
the light of progressive improvement
and amendment of such laws, in the
l1SuL VI IIlG CICdI dIlO O111111SI dhdOlS
intention of the Legislature, or shalt
the courts be bound by the dead hand
of the past and by the political tradi-
ton that the returns made by pre-
cinct officials or by courtyy- boards OF
elections, are sacred and inviolable,
although known to be false and
fraudulent"
The Burgin counsel, being in the
happy position of holding a present
commanding position, did not touch
so much on the mate merits of the
whole controversy, but pressed their
view of the matter that there were
some irregularities, but no willful or
gross frauds, in all counties of the
hth-irregularities for which Meth
er candidate was personally respOn-
Sible.
In this situation it was argued, the
returns of the various county election
boards should have been receive
without change or directed change by
the State Board.
They cited line of presidents and

Oral pleas of the Attorney General
Mcmillan followed the lines of the
brief they submitted in the casa g.

cited authorities wholesale on the nu-
merous and involved questions of law.
From the technical point they con-
tended that the old mo going behind

few days ago, there appeared
in couple of the clubs and
along the sunny streets, a sort
of rejuvenated Millard Fillmore
Bowen. He is now 50 years
old-but you would never be-
lieve it. He was tired and dis
couraged when he went away
and he was back again, for a
short time, with at least a quar-
ter of a century shaken off.
Mr.. Bowen i3 an object lesson
to all of us who are naturally
lazy, who complain of years, of
tiredness, of a possible conclu-
sion that we are maybe a
nuisance to younger aggressive
persons; that in short it would
be we'll if we were out Of the
way. He did get out of our
way-for a while-but it was
merely for the purpose of find
ing himself. at 78. And here he
is, 80. and tickled to death with
his experiment!
He only went 20 miles away
from Washington, this old
young man, 10 a wooded tract
near Cheltenham in Maryland,
which he had picked up for a
song. With his own hands and
with his own plans he built him
self a 10-room house. He built.
again with his own hands, an
caken bridge across a ravine as
a pass to his property.
