Gen.

In soic counties such rk. )llots were thrown out. Ii othier ed counties they were counted. Mr. Stev Pt. (11slonl and Mr. Ketchiin thought the ed rules clear enouh.i. The use of two )f- boxes is to ievent "plumping'' and ik. all votes deposited in the wrong boxes m- were so placed at their own risk. The cle, cunt Vol comittees were advised by tile State eoimittee to throw out, all bal lots in the second primary wilicl had been placed improperly. 56 The committee then adjourned.
