OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) -
Sen. Bryce Baggett, was ex-
pected to appeal to the state su-
preme court today to overturn a
state election board ruling cer-
tifying Ted Bonham as winner of
the Oklahoma County District 41
state senate Democratic runoff
primary
The election board voted 2 l
Sunday night to certify Bonham
as the nine vote victor over
Baggett in last Tuesday's elec-
tion. Baggett had contended 104
votes were illegally cast, more
than 10 times Bonham's victory
margin.
State law provides generally
there shall be no appeal to court
Board that Article 7, Section 2 of
the constitution authorizes the
court: to issue remedial writs of

Baggett was expected to ask
the court to issue such a writ

The court, in Williamson vs.

The American group had been

Saturday on a flight bound for

said North Vietnam choae a

ing U.S. authorities in Laos
would try to "kidnap" the fliers.
The VNA said that the pilots in

interference, by their civilian

Boils Over
In Politics
By United Press International
In the most harsh rhetoric of
the 1972 presidential campaign.
Defense Secretary Melvin R.
I-aird has accused Sen George
S. McGovern of apparently
acting "as an agent of Hanoi” on
the issue of American prisoners
of war
The problem of the prisoners
flamed into prominence in the
contest between President Nixon
and Democrat McGovern
Sunday when the South Dakota
senator accused Nixon of
delaying the release of three
U.S. pilots in North Vietnam for
political reasons.
McGovern, appearing in New
York City , called on Nixon "to
let these three prisoners come
home just as quickly as
possible."
North Vietnam’s news agency
announced that the three pilots,
who were released with cere-
mony from prison Sept 17. had
sent cables to Nixon asking U.S.
authorities not to interfere with
their return home.
