Mr. Samuel B. Fried, Mounds View Justice of Peace, asked
why his name was not placed first on the election ballot for J.P.
in the November 3, 1964 Election. Mayor Hodges stated that apparently
an error had been made in placing the names on the ballot.
Mr. Fried stated that he was convinced that the placement
of his name last on the ballot in violation of Minnesota Statue 205.05
was a deliberate attempt and an intentional and wilful act to influence
the election and contributed to his defeat. Mr. Fried stated that this
was a feloniousact as stated under State Statue 210.15. The person
responsible was Paul Boog,stated Mr. Fried.
Mr, Boog denied these charges and explained that this was
very unfortunate. It was a technicallity and it was difficult to
