ACCUSATIONS BY
WM. V. FARMER
Fred E. Freeiman, chairm;'.n of
the Madison County board tif elec
tions, denied that William V. Farm
er, the Republican member of the
three-member board, submitted a
list of registrars and judges for con
sideration at the meeting of the
board here last Saturday. "I knew
he had some sort of piece of paper
in his hand but he would not give
t to me," he said.
Freeiman said Farmer's protest
arose, instead, over efforts "to get
rid of this pistol-packing bunch
iown here." Freeman said he was
referring to the Walnut Creek pre
cinct. "Due to previous trouble at
this polling place, we thought it best
to change the Walnut Creek polling
pljace to Marshall," Mr. Freeman
stated.
"We get in trouble sometimes
down her," 1 Freeman said, "and I
told him (Farmer) that we wanted
to pick a bunch' of people who would
give us an honest election."
The board ordered a new registra
tion of voters in the precinct designat
ed as "No 1 Township, Ward 1 (Mar
shall), which now includes the pre
cinct heretofore designated as No. 1
Township Ward 4 (Walnut Creek).

FARMER OBJECTS
TO PROCEDURE;
"LIST IGNORED"
William V. Farmer, the Kepnh
licnn member of the Madison Coun
ty board of elections, strongly pro
tested the procedure of the board in
its first meeting here Saturday
morning at the courthouse.
ile stated that he went to the
courthouse at 10:45 o'clock to be
there in plenty of time for the
'swearing in" ceremonies and or
ganizational meeting of the board.
'The meeting was scheduled to be
held at 11:00 o'clock but I kept wait
ng around the lobby and finally at
11:15 I was notified -that the two
other members (Democrats) were
upstairs in a back room and for me
-o come on up," Mr. Farmer stated,
-ie continued that when he went up
jhere, he told Mr. Freeman and Mr.
-luff that he had not been sworn in.
They told me they had already
jeen sworn in and for me to go on
iown and get sworn in," he said
"After 1' had been sworn in, I
returned to the back room where the
organizational meeting was held.
Freeman was elected chairman and
Huff, secretary," Mr. Farmer said.
"When it came time to name the
registrars and judges for the vari
ous precincts of Madison County, I
showed them the list of Republican
judges which Mr. Clyde M. Roberts,
chairman of the Republican Execu
tive Committee, had given me. The
list had five recommendations from
each precinct or a total of 120
names. : This list "wis prepared in
.sccbrdsnee with StsMte No. 163-15,"
J&tl Farmer1 said, rj
"Much to -my amazement' and diar
gnaty however, I found' that, the two
other members (Freeman and Huff )
already had a prepared, list of reg
istrars and judges for every pre
cinct in . Madison County, including I
cne Kepuoiican judges. They ac
cepted only six of the 120 names
submitted by . Mr. Roberts," Mr.
Farmer stated .
"They had already selected all the
Republican judges before the boara
was officially organized, hence, tht
Republican Party was completely ig
nored in the selection of our owi.
(Republican) judges to represent us
at the various polling places," Mr.
Farmer said arc! concluded, "I told
