Lewis McQuown, attorney for J C Beckham, prepares to file in the Kentucky governorship contest case. The defense argues due process is satisfied by state procedures for contested elections, with hearings by a contest board and legislature, not a court, and cites multiple states with similar laws. Jurisdiction rests exclusively with the assembly, and its journals are deemed finally conclusive, while adjournment by Governor Taylor is contested under current conditions.
