WAYNE TO VOTE
AGAIN ON COUNTY
SEAT REMOVAL
Supreme Court Orders An
other Election to be
Held.

Charleston. W. Va. Jan. 24,-The
supreme court today ordered the
Wayne county court 10 call new
court house election.
The date for the election was fixed
for some time between February and
April 6 Il Is understood
Sometime ago the county court re-
fused 10 call new court house cleo
ton ON the grounds that some OF the
signatories were invalid.
Advocates for removal OF the court
house from Wayne to Kenova took
their case to the supreme court TO or
der county authorities to call a new
election.
At the original election the remov-
alists lacked few votes OF having the
required majority for removal. The
ballots were placed in the basement at
the Wayne court house.
Claims of election frauds were made
by the Kenova faction but before a
recount was possible the court house
burned and the ballots were destroy
ed
Arrests have been made as the re-
suit OF the court house fire but the
mystery OF It's burning has never been
entirely cleared up.
Election About April I.
The Wayne News says;-The date
OF the last filing OF the county seat
removal petitions was December 8
1921 According to the statute the
county court is required to call an
election in not less than two months
and not more than four months after
the date of filing. On this basis II
would appear that the date OF the
special election must be on or before
April g. 1t is the opinion of some that
by mutual agreement between the Ke-
novians and the anti-removalists Il
may be arranged that the election will
be delayed until November
But according TO the most accurate
information available to this newspa-
per II seems that special county sea
removal election will be called for a
| bout the first of April.
