Charges of Sfith
Reviewed At
City Hall Meet
Action was still pending Wed
nesday on the disposition of
some 14 affidavits filed by
David W. Stlth charging voting
irregularities existed in the May
1 municipal election.
Stith, an unsuccessful candi
date for the Ward Three City
Council seat who lost to incum
bent John S. Stewart, filed the
affidavits with the Durham
County Board of Elections
which passed the information
on to the City Attorney Claude
Jones.
After a meeting the board
planned to ask Jones to take
"whatever he deems necessary."
However, Wednesday Jones
said he had not been contacted
by anyone in regard to the com
plainU, . .When I am re
quested to do something, then
1 will react appropriately,"
he said.
Stith,s charges were review
ed at a City Hall meeting Wed
nesday, after which officials
said "there was no suggestion
of voting irregularities."
The alleged violations took
place at Burton, Hillside, Pear
son and Whitted precincts in
Ward Three. Among charges
were passing out literature
close to polls, the use of a dem
onstration voting machine to
persuade voters in favor of a
candidate, and verbal cam-pain
ing toQ close to the polls.
Stith, who is president of
Southeastern Business College,
said his plans are to continue
pressing the case until "some
definite, overt action s taken."
Earlier, he had charged that
the Durjiam Committee on Ne
gro Affairs' endorsement of
Stewart "wasn't bandied prop
erly." He was also quoted as
saying .. there might not be
much of a committee left when
l tlijs is all over with."
I Of the 14 affidavits filed by
1 Stith, 12 were reportedly signed
jby student* of Southeastern
' Business College, some of whom
live outside Durham and are
! minors.
Dan K. Edwards, solicitor
of Superior Court, was also
sent copies of Stith's affidavits.
He said tfyere would be no
action by the court unless a
criminal law had been broken.
