Board Refuses
Intended Changes
In AffiIiation
Rules They Must Be Received
By MoiI Or By Individ-
uuI Himself

An intensive campaign by Demo-
cratic candidates to add to the
Democratic registration list by
having Republicans change their
affiliation, was given a temporary
setback on Tuesday night by a de-
cision of the Board of Supervisors
of Elections.
Fifty-five or more notices from
individuals who declared it was
their desire to change their affili-
alton from Republican to Demo-
crat, had been turned over to the
board in person by one Of the
candidates for public office.
At Tuesdays meeting the board
said it could not accept the cards
because they did not comply with
the law. The law covering changes
in affiliation declares that changes
may be made either by written
notice by mail or by calling in per-
son at the Boards office" Since
none came by mail, the board de
clared unanimously ha t the
cha ges could not be accepted.
Members of the board are William
L. Gibson, Benz. +. Knepp and
Grover c. Stemple.
The Democrats have announced
their intention to make the regis
tration in this county more evenly
distributed. At present there are
6,408 Republicans and 1855 Demo-
Gratis with 48 others as indepen-
dents, socialists, or otherwise. AT
one time the Republican majority
in this county was about 3 to /.
Robert b. Sincell, clerk to the
Board of Supervisors, announced
that registration officers would be
cautioned in regards to the law
that voters could not change their
affiliation merely by appearing
before the board of registration in
their precinct when it convenes on
September % and October 5.
Affiliation changes will not af-
feet any citizen during the No
vember voting, but during ensuing
primary elections they will be
bound by the side of the political
fence they are on.

Gas Rate Boost
Granted by PSC

The Public Service Commission
in a 2-1 decision yesterday granted
the Cumberland and Allegheny

crease in less than two years.
The commission order authorized

Maryland consumers to allow for
an increase in gross annual rcve-
nuc of $366,116 The increase
figures out to about 81 cents a
month more on the average house
hold bill.
Wilmer Fell Davis dissented
from the majority decision by
Chairman John II. Hessey and
Frank Harper. Davis said he felt
the increase was too large.
The new rates will be based on
meter readings taken October Is
and after.
