ACTION TO PLACE NAME ON BALLOT Mandamus Filed in Cumber land to Compel Commis sioners to Include Wertz Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 15.—A manda mus action was filed late Saturday afternoon against the Board of County Commissioners by attorneys for Israel C. -Wertz, of Shlremans town, who claims that the officials refuse to put Mis name on the bal lot for a two-year term as poor di rector. The question will be rushed to an early decision, as the ballots for the November election are yet to be pre pared. The Commissioners take the stand that the County Chairman failed to certify that any men were to be elected for such a term and that, consequently, they are not bound by law to print the name. W. S. Burns, of Enola, a Republi can, was elected to the post in 1915 to serve four years. He resigned and J. Morris Miller, of Shiremanstown, was appointed to fill the unexpired term. Friends of Wertz, who is the Democratic nominee, hold that this appointment, made early in the pres ent year, was to run only until the next election and others that it was until the expiration of the term. In the primaries the name of Wertz was put in nomination by writ ing his name on the ballot. J. Mor ris Miller, the present incumbent, was nominated on the Republican ticket In the same way. A number of legal points are said to be Involved in the case. Carlisle's Effort to Raise $1,100,000 Liberty Bonds Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 15.
