The Primary: Are the voters Interested in the party system of nominating their candidates, or has the war dwarf"d every local activity? The press of work and the fact that there were few contests also are launched as reasons for the electorate remaining away from the polls. Whatever the cause, the voters did not turn out Tuesday to use the ballot. What was experienced here, proved trite in other counties in the at.ite. Voters of both parties pri fin ed not to bother about voting. which, with the constitutional I privlfegi of fiam hi* . is likewise 1 an Ameriiaq privilege that no one can or will do anything to alter. In this couhty. fewer than onethird of the eligible voters went to the polls. The total chalked up was a little less than 70 percent of the number cart two years ago, when the nomination* for city offices, no doubt increasod local Interest. Tile Democrat* nominated a complete |l< ket, headed by Judge J Fred F iichte for judge of the Adam- circuit court, who. with three other winners in the county races are unopposed. G.

Vacancies on the Republican I ticket may be filled by convention nominations prior to the November election, but this action likely will I not flli all the places, party leaders declare. , The primary was exceedingly '. quiet, the ballots were speedily 1 counted and tabulated, and before I midnight of election day the final 3 • results In al) of the races were known. g I It was another war-time primary, J ■ similar to the one in 1918, an apt example of American* doing much e as they please and taking their elections as they come. 1 With the presidential and state ! elections next November, interest 1 in the privilege of franchise will p be revived and a near normal vote, less the great number of men and women, who are In uniform and unable to comply with various •state regulations in cashing a ballot. is anticipated. O—O We believe with others that the great invasion of Europe is on in . on<- form, limited at this time to the bombings expeditions. This terrible hammering will eventually weaken Germany and when the dostiuetion of war plants, communication, and transportation systems is completed in the German cities and Nazi-held territory, the planes will be used to smash the reinforcements and guns along th*’ English channel, all the way from southern France to Norway. When the invasion army is ready to land, much of the land danger wiU have I i been eliminated. At least that is ; ] what the most able strategists say about it and *o far this country and Great Britain have followed a similar policy, which too has saved lives. —o Tile city power plant ir again in excellent state of repair and the tttrolne afM boiler room* have been renovated and repaired, removing all the marks from the turbine explosion two years ago.

The it» w system went into effect today. —o The people of Adams county, those who remain here at home, have a lot of civic and patriotic pride. They showed it again last month by purchasing war bonds to tiic extent of >101.930. exceeding tin- county's April quota by the last three digits. Grand work folks. —o The Democrat and Republican central committees, composed of precinct committeemen and vicecommitteemen will convene Saturday to elect their county chairmen.
