Williams to Control Election Board Roles

Election Commissioner T S Williams announced after talks with Attorney General Godard and Secretary of State Clarke that under a new interpretation of the last legislature’s law the Republican county central committee will name one judge and one clerk, the Populist committee one judge and one clerk, and Williams will appoint the third judge. Clarke will send notices statewide detailing the interpretation. The article notes the new law fixes the governor’s vote as the basis for the third judge and asserts the Democrats are excluded, while Williams claims power to add a fifth member and pledges to include Democrats when wise. He also mentions inviting Hob Semple to serve in his precinct and says Republican boards will govern Topeka for now, with potential future Populist control acknowledged.
