IXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE p *^ c MORRIS 5J15 G.D.P.VOTERS MUDEROWS IKlLffi On Stand In Blue Ridge Judge ship Contest. He Denies All Fraud Charges. / - - DECLARES DEMOCRATS ARE SOLIDLY FOR HIM Patterson Was Aided Greatly by Irregularities in Pickens, Witness Asserts. / Judge Newt Morris took the stand in his ©urn defense, under oath, before the state Democratic committee this morning immediately after the commit tee was called to order by Chairman Harris, to resume the bearing in the Blue Ridge judgeship contest. The Judge spoke in deliberate and clear tones, denying In full all the chargee heaped upon him by the pros ecution. Judge Morris denied with great ve hemence that there was any truth m the famous alleged telephone mesaage from Morris to Cox, late on the night j of election, in wMch Morris is said to have told Cox that only a big majority . in Gilmer county could save the nom j inatlon to Morris, because Patterson , was an evident victor elsewhere I throughout the circuit. Says Republicans ■ Cause All the Trouble. Morris said the trouble in Gttmer (simply is that the Republicans In GU- f mer try to run the politics of the Dem ocrats. and when they are not alloared to do It. they get mad and charge fraud. Ths Judge claimed that M per eent of the Democrats In Gilmer were for Morris, and that euch was a notorious ( fact in advance of the primary. Judge Morris undertook then to show by figures that had Pattersen received every uncast vote on the entire regis tration list in Gilmer, regardless of the fact that many of them would have gone to Morris, Morris still would have been a victor over Patterson by not less than 65 votes. The Judge then departed somewhat from the main issue and charged that Pickens county. In which not more than a few hundred Democrats lived 1n any event, went for Patterson by 600, or more than enough un-Democratlc votes in Pickens alone to offset al] un-Dem ocratic votes Morris might have re ceived in Gilmer. The Judge said he thought surely that lit would be unfair to throw out Gilmer j with respect to Morris, and not throw it out with respect to Pottle and Price in the court of appeals and commis i sioner of agriculture races. Declares Democrats of Gilmer Are For Him. Judge Morris ended his statement by declaring that the fight on him in Gil mer was an old one and was fathered entirely by Republicans. He explained that the lines between Democrats and i Republicans always were tightly drawn I In Gilmer, and that each side generally (voted solidly, and that the solid Dem ocratic strength there now is for Mor ris. Upon cross-examination Judge Mor ris said he did not contest alleged frauds and irregularities in Pickens bs : cause he considered his nomination safe without the vote of Pickens, and that it was too late, after the Gilmer county contest had been begun. Judge Morris’ injection of Pickens county into tlie hearing brought forth considerable discussion as to the rel ' evancy of the Pickens matter in tilt pr* sent hearing i i i* Patterson attorneys rested then * as* <lll evidence introduced to show
