The last para-- graph stated, however, that if in the opinion of the court Murphy was a democrat, a republican should be ap-- pointed on the review board. Murphy made an affidavit to the effect that he is a democrat at the present time and had always been affiliated with the democratic party, simply voting a republican ballot at the last pri-- mary to aid two close friends.

The law provides that the board of review must go into session dbefore the third Monday in June, but the Judge Persons says that the fact that Murphy had voted the republh-- can ticket at the last primary caused him to interpret the law that he was now classified as a republican for the next two years and that consequently the other member of the board of re-- view would have to be a democrat.
