TRUE

Distinguished Politicians Ap-
pointed Election Commis-
sioners for Shelby County

Milton j. Anderson, D. B. Puryear,
Democrats, and H. O. True, Republican,
were appointed election commissioners
for Shelby county Tuesday by the state
board Of elections sitting In Nashville.
The appointment means that the gov
ernor's request for friend on the board
was disregarded by the state board and
that j. NJ. Buckingham, the present
member OF the board, friendly to the
city administration, was thrown down
in an effort to secure strong arm
squad.
This is perhaps the first time in many
years that only one faction has been
represented on the election commission.
1t is the first move Of the city ad
ministration headed by Mayor Monte
verde and his brother Pete, in collabora-
ton with Commissioner Quinn, the Re-
publican member, to capture the cleo
tion this fall when the people will elect
a mayor and four city commissioners.
Neither of the two Democratic mem
hers Of the election board supported
Monteverde in his race for mayor last
year. The mayor and Commissioner
Quinn are in Nashville, where they have
spent several days fixing" the ap-
pointment of the commissioners. W. j.
Hayes was also recommended for ap-
pointment but for some reason he did
not receive the coveted plum.
