A three-man hoard appointed 'by

the Sept. 14 primary ballots gave
West victory 727-723, a shift of 14
votes from the original total an
nounced favoring Evans.
West thus became the state com
mittee candidate. Evans planned to
start stumping Saturday as the nom
inee of the McDuffie county demo
cratic committee. The representative,
a Rivers administration opponent,
charged the recount was a “plot” to
keep him from the legislature and
also from running against Roy Har
ris for house speaker.
Prospects were that there would
be two “democratic nominees” on the
general election ballot Nov. 8. Po
litical observers said the fight might
be carried later to the house, which
is the judge of its own membership.
West said he issued his statement
presenting the real facts to the pub
lic, because “I wish to be fair to ev J
