cinct had been reported and pub
lished.”
The Journal -continued: “The
tally sheet for this same Helena
District, as sent to the Secretary
of State, showed 55 votes for
Eugene Talmadge, although the
total was entered (on the precinct
refurn) ds 155. This gave Eugene
Talmadge 100 more votes, in the
consolidated total, than he actually
received.
Order Impossible
* “The Helena District tally sheets
showed a total for Governor of
103—55 for Eugene Talmadge and
48 for Herman. The Voters, list,
which is' the listing of voters in
the order in which they cast their
ballots, contained 103 names.
After the first 55 names (the num
ber of votes credited to Eugene
Talmadge) every name bears a
check mark or a cross-mark. But
the last 3¢ names on the list are
arranged in alphabetical ordér,
starting with A and ending with
K. Persons who inspected the list
remarked that it would have been
impossible for these persons to
have voted in that order.”
Talmadge, when advised of the
development, said: “You can quote
me that the Journal still has run
ning hydrophobia.”
Talmadge would not expand on
his “hydrophgbia” comment,
which he previously had thrown
at the Journal.

Eugene Talmadge who died Dec.
