I Thursday. February 21.1974 Journal-News. Hamilton, Ohio Page 13 'Round Two' scheduled tor Tuesday Motley key man in Wilks eligibility fight ByJOECELLA Journal-News Writer Round Two and the final round of the political battle within the Butler County Board of Elections will be staged next Tuesday, but any further moves will be up to one man. That man is Raymond Motley of Hamilton, who filed a protest against Harry T. Wilks, Democratic candidate forCongress from the Eighth District in the May primary.

The odds right now are against him to succeed in his attempt to remove Wilks from the ballot. His only recourse to stop the candidate is through the courts, if he chooses to do so. As far as the Democratic members of the board of elections are concerned, their party candidate is safe. A. Dan Julian, board chairman, and Richard Koehler have Republican Secretary of State Ted W.

registered Democrat, were unsuccessful Democratic candidates for Congress in 1970. However, records at the local board of elections disclosed that Wilks did file his statement in Hamilton instead of with the secretary of state's office. But Moser argued that Wilks must file in Columbus and on Feb. 6, the filing deadline, he issued a statement declaring Wilks was disqualified, based on the 1970 list. Secretary of State Brown disagreed with Moser and ruled Wilks was eligible.

That ruling should have ended the matter but Motley intervened and filed a protest against Wilks. The board of elections reviewed the protest at Wednesday's meeting. Chairman Julian ruled (he protest out of order on grounds there were "no records in the board'off ice at this date which showed an ''You promised," Marge (Denise Twigg) reminds Chuck (Denny Childs) in scene from Rotary Revels play opening Feb. 28 at Hamilton Campus of Miami University.

"Julian other side of the ring are added "The protest is a Republican board members moot question because the John Moser and secretary of state has Pagano, who contend Wilks already ruled." is not eligible. However, in compliance Brown has ruled" that with the election law Wilks is eligible despite the statute, Julian was pressed fact that Wilks' name appeared on a 1970 ineligibility list because the state office had no record at the time that Wilks had filed his 1970 primary expense statement. Wilks and Motley, a into setting a hearing next Tuesday at the board to which Motley and Wilks are invited and to which a a i Brown's office is to be summoned. Democrats Julian and Koehler demanded to know from the Republicans how an important document such as the 1970 ineligiblity list never came to the attention of the board and was never recorded in the minutes.

The Republicans replied "they were unaware of Wilks' name being on the list until several hours before the filing deadline of Feb. 6." "I resent that a board member (Moser) had this information and did not share the information with this board," said Koehler. He asked that the board censure Moser for his actions. Moser replied that he was notified by "a source" several weeks before that Wilks' name was on the list. He admitted Wednesday he advised Motley under which section to file the protest.

Koehler attacked board procedures by the administrative staff in such matters and demanded to know from Mrs. Edna Fath, Republican board director, how long she was aware Wilks' name was on the list, candidates have never filed "1 found out about a here." quarter of three the last day Motley was not in the of the filing when Jack audience Wednesday. Wilks, (Moser) asked for the 1970 who was present, told the list," replied Mrs. Fath. board that since Mr.

Moser "It appears to me there is advised and counseled a malicious provocation Motley, he felt it was involved and a vain effort to inappropriate for Moser to accomplish something that sit on the board. He asked could not be accomplished," that Moser-be precluded said Koehler. "If this is the type of office procedures, then we better find out what they are and correct it." "Don't imply Mrs. Fath is i replied. "The director and the deputy director (Mrs.

Marge Cox, Democrat) share the responsibility of this office." "The mail goes to Marge's desk and we both open it," said Mrs. Fath. "I didn't go down to the W's on the list because congressional from the hearing, as did Koehter. "I'm not accusing you of anything, but by advising Motley before the filing deadline, I think you should be disqualified from sitting on the board to hear this matter," Wilks said. Julian and Koehler charged that Moser was not speaking for the board when Moser announced Wilks was disqualified.

Moser would, not divulge his source when asked.

Great Rhadamanthnst You can learn sumpin' new every day. Did-ja know they have greeting cards for new' grandparents? Well, neither did til yesterday. When I arrived home, MY Bride said, "Look what we received." And, she handed me some cards with such messages as: "A New Grandchild. Congratulations on Your New Grandson!" And, inside, were some delighftul li'l verses. I knew careds were made for just about every thing, but here I am, on the yon side before I iearn they have.

congratulatory cards for new grandparents. These were from: Jackie and Harold Par agin, Minna Brant, End and Marian Williams, and Myrtle Sam and Sheldon Leyine. Thankee, dear friends, thankee. 1 And, speakin' of cards, I wanna express my preciation to you folk, our readers, unknown to either me or our. daughter, who were kind enuff to send her cards.

Really, it wasn't necessary, but we all-v appreciate your kindness and thoughtfuiness. LATE REPORT ON GRANDSON: He's home! Our ft' daughter, Becky Weiss, called shortly before one p.m. vf yesterday and said, "We can go home. Can you come and get us." Since the Journal-News is a family organization, and great emphasis on "family," I was sure I could. I checked with my boss, our peerless.city..;.

editor, Bill Siebert, and he said, "Sure, Go get 'em." Sobooo, at the hospital, for the first time, I gotta hold Li'l Shane. He's really a buster! Across the room from Becky and Shane were Sarah Anglin, and her new Evelyn Alice Anglin. Man, oh, man! Is that li'l Evelyn a-beauty! Yes, in- deedee! I simply can't put into words, the tender thoughts I had runnin' thru this feeble li'l brain of mine, as I gave Shane his very first ride, in Romilda Alberta (the name of our car). But, you can be sure, I drove to Becky and Bob's home, slowly, and peacefully. And, this morn, I awakened at 2 a.m.

and thought "should I get dressed and run over to assist with the two o'clock feeding?" But, I decided against it. After all, Becky and Bob gotta learn sometime. END OF REPORT.
