England Petition For Mandamus Denied By State Supreme Court
The state supreme court yesterday denied E. T. England’s petition for an alternative writ directing the Kanawha County ballot commissioners to issue him a certificate of election as a Republican candidate for Congress or show cause why not. The case centered on recount irregularities in 12 precincts where ballots with unusual cross marks favored England’s rival, Democrat Joe L. Smith, raising questions about seals, ballot boxes, and potential errors in counting. The court noted prior examinations and questioned witnesses who largely discounted widespread errors, leaving the recount issues unresolved but denying the petition.
