Challenged Mingo Candidates Win Spots on Gilbert Ballot
The Supreme Court directed 3-1 that six Peoples Party candidates be placed on Gilbert Mingo County's municipal election ballot next Tuesday. Judge Leslie Given would deny Harry White's writ for mayor and Efford Endicott for reelection as city clerk, along with council hopefuls C. M. Billups Troy Perry Edward Ferrell and Connie Mitchell. The six argued they were properly nominated at a mass meeting after party chair James Harless failed to set a regular convention. They claimed council later refused to recognize their candidacies though it had approved another slate aligned with Bartles. Harless contended he called the convention and that his submitted list represented the proper nominees.
