Why the “Rooters” Hooted.

State of Indiana ) Newton County J ss David M. Pulver, being duly sworn upon Oath says: That he was one of the duly authorized delegates from Beaver township, Newton oounty., Indiana, to attend the Senatorial Convention held at Gobdland, March 27th, 1900, and as such delegate he did attend said convention and cast the vote for which he was authorized to cast, that he did not believe the vote of said county was being properly oounted by the Chairman Will H. Ade. Daniel M. Graves, also a delegate from Beaver township, sought to challenge the vote of said county but every time he tried to talk Will H. Ade, and other rooters for Wolcott would wave their hats and shout so that no one could be heard, they did this to keep the vote from Newton county, being properly taken as in my judgment it would have shown a very different result had it been properly counted, I also voted one full vote for William H. Coover. David M. Pulver! ' Subscribed and sworn to * WtfW Before me this 31st day of March, 1900. Daniel M. Graves, ’ * Notary Public.
