ments for the award, the Kings .Muu'i

Election Pot Still
Warm on J of P. Race? ,
In spite of the announcement that
the only Republican elected to office
November 5 in Cleveland county was' <
a Waco conatable, some question ha* 1
risen concerning the No. 4 townahip '
conatable race, in which five Demo <
(rata and one Republican ? W. Boyd 1
Putnam ? were candidates. Peyton <
Mc8wain. chairman of the county e- t
leetions board said Wednesday. "The t
Democrata were elected, the Republican
defeated."
Th question on the part of Candi* i
date Putnam's friends harks back to
he May Democratic primary when
the ffve Democrats waged a hot primary
fight, then found they were ?11
nominated.
According to announcement at that <
time by Virgil Weathers, then chair- I
man of the elections board, the state
hoard of elections had ruled that No. '
4 Township was entitled to nine mag
istrates jinder Public Law *-113, of i
the North Carolina code, which pro- 1
vides that each township is entitled
to three magistrates, with additional 1
magistrates for each incorporated
town in the township on the basis of
one per 1,000 population.
With only six candidates and nine
posts, Mr. Putnam's friends think he
is elected. 1
The ballot listed a notation over i
both Democratic and Republican tic* 1
kets reading "Vote for Five."
On the hauls of Mr. McSwain's
statement, Mr. Putnam is defeated ua
lesa^the state board of elections certifies
otherwise.
