These require a recount of the bal- | lots in the City of St. Louis under the | supervision of the Board of Election | Commissioners, starting thirty days from to-day, and a comparison of the ballots with the registration lists and notations showing any ballots cast that were without the registration | numbers. i The three offices involved are| Judge of the Supreme Court for a! term of ten years, Judge of the Su- preme Court for two years, and State Superintendent of Public Schools for a term of four years. While different orders were issued in each of these contests, yet the only differences are to be found in the| names, the offices and the terms thereof. Romuius E. Culver, of St. Joseph, Commissioner ‘o take testimony in these contests and report his finding to the Supreme Court by May, is di- rected to commence the preliminary work in St. Louis and St. Louis coun- ty within the next ten days. The election officials in_ St. Louis and St. Louls county must serve at least five days’ notice on the contest- ants and contestees and their attor- neys before the ballots are recounted.
