Summary

In a correction for an earlier omission, the Beaver Beacon printed Peaine Township recall-election and supervisor-election statistics from Howard Demorest.

Evidence limits

The record preserves the newspaper’s reported totals and voter percentages; it is not a substitute for a certified election return.

Sources
