The proceedings at the trial of the contest of an election shall be similar to those in judicial
proceedings, in so far as practicable, and shall be under the control and direction of the court which
shall hear and determine the matter without a jury, with power to order or permit amendments to the
petition or proceedings as to form or substance. Such court may allow adjournments for not more
than thirty days, for the benefit of either party, on such terms as to costs and otherwise as seem
reasonable to the court, the grounds for such adjournment being shown by affidavit. The hearing
shall proceed expeditiously and the total of such adjournments shall not exceed thirty days after the
date set for the original hearing.
