Jelks Gets a Box
The sub- committee of the
Woodruff County Democratic
Central Committee, composed of
J. H. Crossett of this city, R. H.
Winfield of Augusta and J. R.
Meehan of Cotton Plant who were
appointed to establish a voting
precinct at Bullville and to name
the judges and clerks for the
coming primary election have
gone a step farther and without
any instructions or authority
whatever have also established
a box at Jelks.
The people of Bullville were
required to file a petition with
the Central Committee at its reg
ular meeting at Jelks signed by
more than 40 voters asking for
a box to be established there be
fore the Committee would act on
the same. The request was
made within the legal time of 30
days before the election and the
same was granted.
we can not understand why
the sub-committee has seen fit to
go beyond its instructions and
without any authority whatever
and establish at this late hour,
just on the eve of the election,
a box at Jelks or any other place
as to that. When we asked Mr,
Crossett this, Friday, morning
who signed the petition asking
for a box at Jelks, he stated that
no petition was presented. We
then asked him to please show
us under what law, or authority
the committee had acted in estab
lishing a box at Jelks and the
following from the little blue
book of rules of the Democratic
party in Arkansas is what he
gave us:
“Sec. 54. The County Central
Committee shall appoint three
judges of election and two clerks
for each precinct or voting place
said judges and clerks shall have
the qualifications of electors in
the Democratic primary election,
and the legal qualifications for
judges and clerks of election.
The judges and clerks shall be
appointed, and the names be
made known at least five days
before the election, by posting
the same at the voting precinct
and by publication in some news
paper in the county.
In the above there is not one
word regarding the establish
ment of a voting precinct. We
do not object to Jelks, or any
other place, having a box but
there is a right and a wrong
way to do things and we do
think that the sub-committee
has overstepped their duties and
authority in this matter. Why
did not Jelks ask for a box in the
nroper way and at the time the
County Central Committee met
there a few weeks ago?
In establishing a box at Bull
ville the sub-committee acted ac
cording to instructions from the
Central Committee, but there
were no such instructions con
cerning a box at Jelks or any
other place. It seems that the
committee has acted solely upon
the advice or instructions of only
one person.
Geo. T. McCoppin, H.H. Hold

Kenneth Baker clerks.

will do you good through the help
of God.
