We counted the 21 boxes. and if the result had been reported by the committee as the count was. according to the number of votes marked for each candidate. Bailey would have won by 46 votes. But unquestionably Mr. Walters had gone into the Democratic strongholds and disqualified quite a number of alien voters who could not show that they had any right to vote. In fact. the proof was that they never had the right to vote. because they admitted that they had never been naturalized. This question was only raised in the strong Democratic districts. and Bailey lost 21 votes. That loss was undisputed. and that left him a majority of 25 votes.
