"When I was at Shippee. the ballot boxes had not yet been delivered nor was there a sign telling where the voting was to take place. I passed out handbills to the girls in line for dinner and I made a statement inside the cafeteria. I gave a few han- dbills to a polltender. Thomas Huth, and asked him to hand them out. He thought this was inap- propriate for him to do. so he put them under a coffee table in the lounge and covered them with a coat. When Hayden went to collect the ballots after the polls closed, she found the handbills under the table." he said.
