Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 101, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 May 1918 — PRIMARY IS VERY QUIET [ARTICLE]

PRIMARY IS VERY QUIET

UP UNTIL NOON ONLY ABOUT ONE-FOURTH OF THE VOTE HAS BEEN CAST. There is very little interest being taken in. the primary election being held here today. At noon less than one-fourth of the vote has been cast. Many of the candidates are unopposed. The candidates for joint senator have made a pretty thorough canvass. It is thought that Will Brown, of Hebron, will run very much ahead in this county. The race 'between Wood, of this county, and Walker, of Benton county, for state representative is liable to be very close. For men in this county are candidates for the Republican nomination for sheriff. All will make a good showing but is would be mighty hard to pick a winner. The race for the Republican nomination for trustee of Marion township, is quite spirited. The candidates are C. W. Postill and D. W. Waymire. Milroy township is the real sea of war and the people in that township are pretty much worked up..... Good men have been placed on both tickets and in the main there can be no bad nomination.
