April 5-11, 1948

 Supporters of A.S. Daniels have protested the recent re-election of Dr. George P. Dillard to the Leaksville Township Public School District, charging a number of voting irregularities.

Dr. Dillard, a Leaksville resident who has been on the board 25 years, defeated Daniels and Culas Robertson, both of Draper, in the election. But the Daniels supporters say the Leaksville polls stayed open an extra half hour and a number of persons were allowed to vote outside their respective precincts.

They have asked the county commissioners to set the election aside and order a new election.
