Linville New Democratic County Boss

Howard Linville, Rockcastle . Count}' farmer, replaced Clell

Pike of Livingston as Rock-castle C o u n t y Democratic Chairman- at a committee elect-ion Saturday at Thomas' Rest-aurant at Mt. Vernon.

Linville for many years ha« • been associated wiWfDemocratie

pdhtirs- m Hock cattle and is a supporter of Gov. A. B. Chand-ler.

Linville won the chairman-' ship after a Ballot battle with Ellis Marshall • of Livingston.

. Marshall received 27. Marshall, also*a Chandletsupporter, had the support of Pike in his bid

.'for the chairmanship. In other voting, R. H. Hamm,

Sinclair • gasoline distributor, was elected secretary of the committee. Mrs. Verla Scott, who also ran for secretary, did not receive a vote.

The choice of a new - chair-man came during an orderly meeting. The handwriting was on the wall apparently the preceding week when Linville rallied enough. or nearly enough, support in the precinct committeemen race* to practi-cally assure victory Saturday.

Mr. Pike's replacement as Democratic chairman, ends a I (-year career as Democratic boss In the county. During hii 18 years he served also as the county's State Highway De-partment head. When Governor Chandler was

flee led ̂ Govern or. Pike was re-placed'as highway boss by Lee Faulkner, but remained chair-man of the Democratic com-mittee. Pike reported earlier he supported the ticket headed by Governor Chandler in the elect-ion. but had supported the Wetherby-Clements faction of the Democratic ' Party during the primary.
