I dissent. The finding that Treanor received only 4,401 votes is in conflict with the fact clearly established by the pleadings that he received 4,862 votes. If the evidence established the fact as found, the pleadings might have been amended to conform to the proofs, but they were not amended, and must prevail. I cannot see any grounds for holding that the case was tried upon any theory as to the effect of the pleadings which precludes the contestee from raising this objection to the findings. No doubt it is technical, but the whole contest is based upon grounds equally technical.
Rehearing denied.
