The County Board of Elections
lias declined to take any action
in connection with protests
raised over political leaflets dis
tributed at the Northside and
South Carr boro precinct polling
places last Saturday.
Elections Board Secretary
Clyde 'darter went to the two
precinct polling places on Sat
urady in response to calls from
interested parties. (Police and
Sheriff’s Deputies took up the
literature found there and or
dered the persons distributing
it to stop. .— .
But the Board of Elections did
not discuss the issue at its e
lection canvass meeting in Hills
boro on Tuesday. When question
ed specifically after the meet
ing, Board members confirmed
the confiscation of material but
said no further action was con
templated.
Insofar as can be determined
from reading the North Carolina
election laws, no statutes actual
ly have been violated, ” though
some questions pertinent to the
local situation were raised.
According to information re
liably learned by The News two
Negro men were involves m the
incidents. They wereXhanding
out similar sheets to Negro vot
ers arriving at the polling plac
es. - -
The leaflets in question were
mimeographed sheets of regular
8%” x 11” paper. On a portion
of the paper a part of the coun
ty sample ballot was reproduced
in typewriter type. On this par
tial facsimile of the ballot the
names of commissioner candi
dates Clarence Jones, Donald
MoDade, and Gordon Cleveland
and of solicitor candiate Thom-'
as D. Cooper were written in
bolder letters than those of the
other candidates and an “X”
mark was placed in the box be
side the names of the aforemen
tioned.
At the side of the ballot draw
ing a message was printed, warn
ing that the names on the actu
al bailors would not necessarily
appear in the same order as on
the mimeographed facimile,
iJt was learned that Edwin
Caldwell was distributing these
flyers at the Northside polling
place and Harold Foster at
southside Carrboro. The Ne- '
gro Civic Club last week an
nounced its endorsement of the
above - mentioned candidates,
but it was not established that
it sponsored the preparation dtid
disributioo of this literature.
Elections officials said they
had no knowledge of any of
these sheets being placed in the
ballot boxes. A rumor current
in Chapel Hill on Monday and
Tuesday had it that sample bal
lots were imprinted as noted a
bove, handed out, and may have
turned up in the ballot boxes.
Sample ballots -were available in
all polling paces and were even
reproduced and printed in news
papers prior to the election.
These were printed and cut in
the same manner and same size
as the regular ballots them
selves, and were quite unlike the
jpoli'.ical leaflets that were dis
tributed. —
Elections Board Chairman
Sam Latta said that as far as
he was concerned the matter was
closed.
He did note, however, the pas
