Show CROOKED WORK UNEARTHED. towers Discovers Irregularltlas Which WUI riect the Blith e Liberal Ticket. k Chairman Powers has discovered some glaring irregularities iu Monday's ' election which will probably result in the election of tho entire Liberal ticket. This morning an error in footing of twenty-live was discovered in the returns re-turns from the second precinct. It is curious that this mistake was made in favor of J. II. Runiel, jr., tho People's candidate. When corrected this will make a difference of iifty in favor of Page, t By far the most important fact that has been brought to light in regard to the election, however, was that tho ballot bal-lot box from the Third precinct came in with the seals brokeu aud tho box wide open. This, Judge Powers says, will result iu the throwing out of the entire vote of that precinct, and as the People's party had a majority of some 200 in that precinct, it means that the election of every man on the Liberal ticket , Another of the irregularities that Judge Powers has discovered is that at one of tho country precincts which gave the People's party a majority of over one huudrcd, only one election judge was present at the polls all day. This fact Chairman Powers considers sufficient grounds for tho throwing out of tho entire voto of that precinct. |
