POLK COUNTY ELECTION
CHIEF IS REMOVED
Ned Anderson has been removed
as Polk County election chairman.
The North Carolina Board of
Elections took the action in Ashe
ville Friday after studying find
ings of a hearing held here Wed
nesday and Thursday.
Charles M. Britt of Asheville,
chairman, said Anderson’s succes
sor had been appointed. His name
was withheld until he is notified.
Theft of election ballots from
Deputy Sheriff Sellers Edwards’
car on the day of the primary,
touched off the probe by S. B. I.
and local officers.
More than 40 witnesses appeared
at the hearing. Most of them
either said they did not know any
thing about “the theft of the bal
lots’’ or were reluctant to take
the stand.
The board, ruling in closed ses
sion in Asheville, ordered Ander
son removed for alleged “negli
gence in perfoiming duties as
chairman.”
It ruled on the following counts:
Failure to use reasonable precau
tion in transporting official blank
ballots on June 28, the date of the
Democratic primary; failure to use
the necessary precaution and care
required of him to locate the bal
lotsl after they were removed from
the car in which they were being
transported; and failure to report
promptly the rmoval of the ballots
to the proper authorities.
The board also voted to turn
over the S. B. I. report and other
evidence to Attorney General Har
ry McMullen. He will be instruct
ed to forward evidence to Solicitor
Clarence O. Ridings of Forest City
“for such action as said solicitor
shall deem necessary.”
