Completes Check Of 1,768 Names Haywood dry forces were short 554 qualified signatures on peti tions, in which they were asking for an election to abolish the sale of wine and beer in the county. ThUj . fact was lencd today from Jerry Rogers, chairman of the Haywood board of elections. t,j' disclosure brought to the front again a movement started last spring, when petitions were presented to the board of elections asking for the election. The board has since then been checking tne nanus on the petitions. The peti tions contained 1.7b8 names, chair man Rogers said. "The point that disqualified many a signature ort the petitions, was tne clause n" they had voted in the last general election. Upon a thorough check- up. we found that 554 of those sign, ing the petitions did not have their names on the 1940 general election poll books as having voted in thft November election. According to the law, such names were disquali fied." Chairman Rogers pointed out. Of the 1,700 names, the board found 1,042 passed. The petitions would have to have 1,50(1 signature of voters who vot pH In the November election, in or der to get the required 15 per cent which is necessary to call an elec tion. The general election vote is based on the total number of votes cast for candidates for governor. Ia November 1948, Haywood cast 10, 638 for the three candidates for governor, as follows Scott 8,133; 2,500 Prllchard and 5 for Price. Chairman Rogers said that it was his understanding that the present petitions on hand are void, and that new petitions would have to be secured, and not just addi tional "names, it tne sponsors want ed the election called. Rev. M R Williamson, chairman of the temperance committee of the Haywood Ministerial Association, sponsor of the campaign, told The Mountaineer this morning, upon hearing the report: "I will call my committee together tar an early conference with the board of elec tions. I am surprised to hear so many names were disqualified on the petitions. However, it is our plan to go forward with plans and have an election called on the sale of wine and beer in this county." Rev. Russell L. Young was presi dent of the Ministerial Association, and since he has moved to North Wilkeshnror his office will be filled by Rev. Horace Smith, pastor of the First Baptist church in Canton. The petitions were presented to the Haywood board of elections last spring, just a short time before the state-wide election on the school and road program. Then af ter that election, the pending bond election on the hospital bonds was held. Under North Carolina laws no election can be held within 60 days of another. In the meantime, the board of elections have been checking the 1,768 names on the petitions, and this morning made their report of rinding 554 disqualified signatures on the petitions.
