county, in his belief, the Republi

Salem, counsel for J Hayden Burke,
of Alexander county, who led the
primary race, charged that in Wil

voters cast as many as four Dem
ocratic ballots each on primary
Deal also challenged the right-vf
the election board to invalidate the
returns of Alexander county on the
grounds of party regularity of
electors and held that the only re
course the Rousseau forces Had

ed in the earliest stages.
Appointments for examination
