REPUBLICAN WON
In a Contest Before Kentucky Court of Appeals—Disputed Question Settled.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 19.—The Court of Appeals to-day decided the contested election case from Ohio County in favor of Anderson, who ran for County Clerk on the Republican ticket.
Several questions as to the proper construction of the election laws were involved, but the most important was as to the right to recount the vote of any precinct after the ballots had been destroyed. The court holds that where all the election officers agree on the count and destroy the ballots no recount can be had.
