Anti-Byrd Democrats
Challenge Election in
Anne County
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PRINCESS ANNE COURT
HOUSE, Va. Aug. 21.-The bitter
political wrangle In Princess Anne
County Seethed hotter today, with
a whole list of new election vio-
lations leveled at the entrenched
Democratic CLIQUE.
Just as it had threatened to DO,
the defeated Peoples Ticket
went to court yesterday, charging
that six of the Byrd organiza-
tion's candidates in the August
Z primary had not been elected
fairly and squarely.
It's suit, filed in Princess Anne
Circuit Court. contended 619
votes had been cast illegally for
organization" men.
In its complaint, the Peoples
Ticket" said II persons had voted
twice, that unqualified servicemen
had voted, that a prisoner was
removed from jail so he could
cast a ballot. and in one case, a
deceased person was credited with
having voted.
Charge Nom residents Voted.
The complaint said persons had
voted who didn't pay their poll
tax, who hadn't registered and
who didn't live in the county.
The suit charged the Organ
ization" forces with seizing con-
troll Of the election machinery and
permitting the violations to be
perpetrated.
It challenged the election of
every candidate but one-the
State Senator from the 1st Dis
trict (Which includes Accomack
and Northampton Counties also)
The court was asked to reverse
the outcome and award victories
to the Peoples" candidates.
The Organization" for its side
announced it would fight the
suit, and a spokesman said an
answer Would probably be filed
within 10 days.
Aftermath Of Hot Campaign.
The legal battle is the aftermath
to torrid prediction campaign
which saw the anti-organization
forces offer the most serious chal-
lenge in years to the Princess Anne
administration.
On the eve Of the election, the
Peoples Ticket" charged that
absentee ballot violations had been
committed. The result was the i'm
pounding Of 260 ballots. The court,
however, dropped the case last
week when it failed to obtain con-
elusive evidence.
The suit instituted yesterday
will be heard by a special court
of three judges. One of the judges
will be Floyd e. Kellam Of the
Princess Anne court. The other
two will be appointed by the State
Supreme Court.
