"For four years," said Mr. Hoyne, "Cunnea has gone about Chicago making the false statement that he was rightfully elected state's attor ney. Cunnea and every one who watched the contest knows that his assertion is not based on truth. "Nor can Cunnea truthfully deny that he was permitted to have a re count after I had voluntarily waived technical rights, that would have barred the hearing of his petition. The court had held the. petition in sufficient and the ballots were only opened at my express suggestion and consent . "Judge Baldwin's decision, at the conclusion of the recount of all the ballots cast, was to the effect that .In 34 out of the 35 wards in Chicago the election had be.en clean and without fraud. "In only 10 out of more than 1,400 or 1,500 precincts were any irreg ularities found, and it was so obvious, that the errors that were found could not substantially change the. results that the recount was abandoned be fore a decree was entered. "Cunnea has cunningly contrived to spread the impression that he was robbed of the state's attorney's office while on its threshold and about to enter it and assume its duties.
