trary to all former precedents established

selection OF the election officers the mem.
bers Of the Board had equal rights in
their appointment.

he desired to.
Mr.. Broy said he did not know II he
had any objections to offer personally to
any OF the names on the list. but what he
objected to was the manner In which ii

much like a cut-and-dried affair.

officers of Eureka precincts Nos. l and 2,
