Citizens Group Seeks Mandamus to Place Ticket on Ballot
Hamilton County voters faced a door of legal action as Citizens ticket candidates petitioned the State Supreme Court for a mandamus to force the Hamilton County Election Board and Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown to place them on the November ballot. Brown’s ruling denied party status due to missing 15 percent governor-signature requirements under the new election law. Chief Justice Marshall set a hearing for next Tuesday, with potential delays until after October 7 when the court reconvenes. The Democratic platform denounced the ruling as suppressing ballot freedom and Brown commented on the ruling’s legal basis, while the case proceeds on the second page.

Fillbrandt decried the proposal as a breach of faith to Camp Washington residents. Meanwhile the city auditor praised a Bond bid from Eldredge & Co. and Weil, Roth & Irving, yielding a 3.98 percent interest rate. A south Rockdale business district extension was defeated 5 to 4.
