galigher ber objected to the ballots being counted he wanted the result as shown on the face of the returns to be declared thus leaving a tie and no attention PRU to the the evident mistake of the judges of election His objection was overruled and the ballot box was opened the votes taken out and Cb chairman airman sells took up each ballets ballet reading the name of each candidate condi date voted for judge jude smith and mr anderson kept the ta tally sheets the ballot was passed to judge judd and then to mr alte both of whom examined it at the outset there were 70 straight votes for toronto then came for galligher then two for toronto two for kalligher and four for toronto thy definitely proved that the abstract signed by the judges of election contained an error one ballot had no candidate for k treasurer by a comparison with the total num number berof of votes credited to the candi candidates dalp four baj ballots lots were d discovered Is to lie be missing from the ballot box A further comparison showed that three of these were Gallig bers and one To mr brown we demand that the presiding judge who had the custody of that box be brought in who was it col sells it was J W skinner judge smith hore here is the tally sheet that the judges failed to send in it shows 77 fur for feronto fo ro the other tally sheet shows 77 but is counted as only 71 on the abstract col stone it will be a contested election C E allen alien it may be the other side that took the ballots mr brown no difference the ballots are gone and somebody should be made to account for it judge judd I 1 move we accept the result in i a this poll as shown by our count judge smith I 1 I 1 that chairman sells put the motion which wes was carried unanimously the count in this poll showed galligher anto 76 the count of the judg lf election was galligher toronto 77 this gives toronto two votes more than allighen alli gher for the office of treasurer of salt lake county there was considerable excitement among the attorneys and candidates in attendance when the result was announced and the judges were severely condemned for the blundering way in which they had done the work the abstracts and tally sheets showed a total of votes cast while but ballots ballot 4 were found in the box the returns were then footed up for all the candidates except those for recorder the figures being the same as those published in the news with the exception of the change made in the poll counted today where toronto was given the ma majority 11 arity instead of a tie the e board signed the

of the said candidates that the number of votes cast in the said poll of Pre precinct cinet no 1 was such duch as to affect the result of the election of said candidate and therefore in the I 1 judgment ud graant 0 of said board of canvassers it was voted to examine the ballot boxes of said sa id poll and said bald precinct and such other ballot boxes as the returns show contain similar discrepancies that the returns of the ither precincts referred to in the said alternative writ of mandamus mon damus are an and made a part of this answer and the same discrepancy exists in east mill
