In discounting the 274 Demo cratic and 30 Republican ballots found in the wrong box, the board, headed by Chairman Roby T. Greer, unanimously followed the instructions of the state board of elections, which had investi gated the matter. Heated Controversy The situation, arising In the Boone precinct, had been the cen ter of e heated political contro versy with a number of county offices in issue. In addition to placing Republican commission ers In office, the action of the board also placed a Repubdican surveyor as winner. In following the dictates of the state board of elections, the three members of the county board signed a written statement In which they did not admit that any fraud existed in the November election on the part of either Re publicans or Democrats. Due to the findings of the state board, the results of the voting were changed without dissent. However, the board called at tention to the fact that an ‘‘un lawful and wilful" assault wa.s made upon Democratic members of the board when they attempted to canvass the returns, and that ■■ r, pge. r»9rt^ eiij^ It w«> ufced ffutt *11 ■ evidence be tnr^ over state board of etoetioni to be saV' mitted to' the state attorney gen-/ oral, and district - solidtar fory prosecution of the guilty portte*.
