REFUSES TO SIGN
CERTIFICATES
Governor Davis Repudiates Action of
Election Board, Because he
Was Ignored.
Gov. Davis has refused to sign
the certificates of appointment of
those election commissioners which
were selected by the state board
over his objections. He affixed his
signature to the certificates for
only thirteen counties, and the
others were sent out signed by
Secretary of State Crocket and
Attorney General Murphy. As
only 2 of the three commission* r
are required to sign the certificates
the validity of the appointments
is not affected by the failure of the
governor to affix his signature.
The certificates were signed by
Secretary Crocket and Attorney
General Murphy Thursday after
noon, and Gov. Davis was notified
that the certificates were ready
for his signature. He failed to ap
pear in the secretary of states’s
office, but the certificates were
held over until Friday morning,
when they were taken to the gov
ernor’s office by K. L. McIIaney
of the secretary of state's office.
The governor signed the certifi
cates for St. Frauds, Prairie.Poin
sett, Nevada. Mississippi, Lonoke,
Lincoln, Jackson, Lee, Unward.
Desha, Pope and Garland counties,
but the remaining sixty-two were
returned without his signature.
All the certificates were then
mailed to the circuit clerks of the
various counties.
