Election contest answers filed in county court
In election contest cases the respondents and their attorneys present factual allegations. They claim the Independent Republican emblem was adopted earlier than the so called Republican emblem and that no deception occurred. They assert no record of a county Republican emblem adoption by the convention and that the emblem was published and discussed locally. They say all Republican candidates knew of the emblem and objected only late on election day after letters from W B Childers were filed to stop counting Independent Republican votes. In San Antonio precinct the regular judges appointed by the county commissioners conducted the election legally but were blocked from opening polls at 9 by riotous persons crowding the room. No objection was raised to the judges’ appointment or to any junior attempt to replace them. The rioters moved 1500 feet away to a portion of the precinct and held a purported election.
