ELECTION BOARDS
RUN DOWN BEAR
] STORIES GALORE
Leo K, FeSIer Says Reports of
Irregularities Show Need
for Smaller Precincts.

They're holding out the returns
in the Ninth Ward, where there's a big
Khan vote. although the ballots have
all been counted or none of the big
precincts from the black belt are in
the Shank boards are holding back to
see how many votes are needed"
All day the county election board
received these complaints or others of
similar tenor from nervous candidates
as the vote swayed this way and that.
{ Out goes the painting lizzie and a
, dash is made into the moOted Ninth.
Some men are smoking leisurely on
the front porch.
Yeah, we had 81 votes cast here, $"
said one. Got 200 counted. The two
women clerks gave out about a. m.
and went home to bed. Nope, no
arguing with them"
One Hint Enough
Another trip up Yandes St. into the
territory of Windy Johnson and Bell
Howard. colOred bosses, to see about
a complaint from a candidate that
1.-THE returns in one precinct didn't
suit Bev Howard and he's making
them count over"
Voting place dark. Dogs barked.
No one knew anything, being sus-
picious 10 a liquor raid. Repeated
knocks on a door resulted in a terri
fed voice from a second-story window:
''If you all don't go on away right
now, I'm goin' to start shootin'!'
Election commissioners didn't have
to be knocked down with hint, and
departed, to find the missing ballots
safely at the courthouse.
Another trip out toward Riverside
in the Fourth resulted in some star
ting information from group Of IN
official watchers looking through the
open door at the election board.
Another Bear Story"
There's ten people in there count
ing the votes. Three extras, and one
is the Shank candidate for precinct
committeeman. who is voting all the
incomplete ballots for himself And
the inspector can't read or write. Look
at him unfold them ballots and hold
them upside down like he's reading
But he's not.
The three extras" turned out to be
official watchers. and the inspector
was left to the tender care of the rest
of the board. And so on and so on,
until the last precinct was in.
These rumors and complaints are
the result of too big precincts. said
Leo K. FesIer, county election COM
missioner. who personally investigated
many bear stories" Of graft, crooked
work and rascality.
when a group of average citizens
are put to work to receive 500 votes
and then count them without stop
ping, it is too much OF
strain. Exhaustion, delay and break
downs occur. Then people get sus-
picioUs and nervous because the count
ing is done in twelve hours.
There certainly will have to be a
reduction in size Of the precincts"
