IN for each township in the county
were appointed To hold the biennia al
election Oh sept. 8, at harmonious
meeting Of the aFulLner county board
Of election commissioners held in the
Office of Mayor w. II. Duncan this
morning. Statewide prohibition lead
ers here express themselves as being
well pleased with the choice of the
commissioners, the recommendations
OF the prohibitionists having been
adopted in many cases, while in most
other cases men equally acceptable
were named.
The board is composed of Mayor
Duncan, chairman; J. B. Higgins.
clerk, and d. l.. Hoover, the latter be-
ing the Republican member. In only
one instance did the board fail to vote
unanimously in the selection of iudg-
es, the exception being in the second
ward of Conway, which includes the
precinct for Cadron township, and at
which the largest vote in the county
is always cast. In this township
Commissioners Duncan and Hoover
voted for e. w. A. Wilson, Frank
Farris and Fred Simmons as Judges.
while Commissioner Higgins voted
for B. T. Deal, c. E. Durham and C,
A. Simmons.
In some of the townships the COM
missioners were unable to find Re-
publican to serve as one Of the Judges
and three Democrats were appointed.
In the following list, however, the
third judge named is in most cases q
Republican. Contrary to the opinion
held by some, the law makes no pro
vision for the appointment of clerks
of the election by the commissioners,
the statutes providing that these shall
be selected by the judges. A deputy
sheriff was appointed in each town
ship on account of the fact that Sher-
iii }. s. Johnson is candidate for re-
election and is thereby disqualified
from making the appointments.

IFS for each precinct is as follows:
