Petition For a Recount.
Franklin, Mass., Sept. 10, 1920.
We, the undersigned voters of Franklin, have reason to believe and do believe that the records or copies of records of the vote returned for Republican Candidates at the Primaries held on Sept. 7th last, are erroneous, and particularly with reference to the Candidates for Senator in the Fourth Worcester Dis- trict in that William L. Johnson of Uxbridge received more votes than were counted and returned, and that Charles W. Gould of Milford received fewer votes than were counted or returned, and that a recount of said votes will affect the result; wherefore we re- spectfully petition for a recount of said votes.
