McCray, Of Kantland, as the Republican candidate for governor, says: “Every straw vote shows a preponderance of strength for ' Mr. McCray. The result of these independent tests are significant. Mr. McCray will abide by the will of the people expressed at the primary. We are confident he will have a majority of the vote. We are making no effort to elect delegates to the state convention.
