Contested Move for Second District Commissioner Office
A group of about 90 voters in the second district urged that Mr Gray's office be declared vacant and W J Borah elected to fill the vacancy. The circuit court issued a mandamus directing the county board to show cause why the vacancy record should not be expunged and Gray restored to office. The case raises a novel legal question likely to be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
