Randall, the Democratic aspirant, was unopposed. Frank O. Rarick, a’ councilman, defeated two others to win the Warsaw Republican nomination, One of the closest’ Republican races in the state was at Valparaiso where . Dr, .G. B. Conover shaded Joseph Durand, 1102 to 1067. The quietest primary occurred at Vincennes, where both A. B. (Bud) Taylor, Democratic aspirant, and Noble Burr, Republican nominee and present Knox county auditor, were unopposed. . At Greencastle, Walter Ballard held a small lead over W. D. James, incumbent, on the basis of unofficial returns in the Republican race. Mr. James figured recently in a grand Jury charge of misuse of city materials and equipment, but the charge was later dismissed. Loba (Jack) Bruner won the G. O. P. nomination at Bloomington from A.

leck was without opposition. Robert A. Grant, South Bend, 3d district congressman, was nominated over Herman W, Voges, Elkhart, 20,174 to 1787, on the basis of complete unofficial returns. Lewis J.

While Republican congressman George Gillie of Ft. Wayne went unopposed in the 4th district, Samuel C. Cleland of Ft. Wayne e bendanbhrdl mfw hr tao hrdlu up defeated Thomas P. Ridelle, Ray, for the Democratic nomination. Complete returns from the eight counties of the district gave Cleland 12,208; Riddle, 5698. In the 6th district Republican primary Paul E. George of Lebanon offered little opposition to the renomination. of incumbent Noble J. Johnson of Terre Haute. Morning returns gave him only 2580 to 11,806 for Rep. Johnson, Floyd I. McMurray of Thorntown appeared: the probable winner of the Democratic nomination with nearly double the vote of his nearest competitor.

Eighth district Representative John W. Boehne Jr., appeared certain to recapture the 8th district Democratic renomination with 8829 votes to 3147 for Ben F. Garland of| Huntingburg, second in line. Charles M. LaFollette of Evansville led Thomas C. House of Evansville by 2013 to 1800 on the GOP side. In the 10th were two unopposed incumbents, Republican Raymond S.

It was said that Vichy offiicals did not know whether the two cruisers had gone: over to the British or were trying to rejoin the French, possibly in Indo-China, Much of the French navy has been reported to be: proallied. Meanwhile, the United States: is watching closely the French African ports of Dakar, Oran and Bizerte for signs of a possible attempt at a pro-axis coup.

In eight precincts, Mr. Herner held a 22-vote edge. :
Weiss Leads Markey
Jacob Weiss had a 377 to 244|45 margin over Judge Joseph Markey in superior court one and Oscar Hagemier rolled up a 3-to-1 edge over his nearest opponent, Edward Brennan, in the five-man prosecutor race. Former Prosecutor David M. Lewis almost doubled the count on Judge Smiley Chambers in early returns of the probate court battle and Recorder Hannah Noone had a 3-to-1 margin over Guy Ross. James Scott was far ahead of the field in the 12-man race for sheriff with 388 vote total, followed by Thomas Sullivan with 104. Estimates of the total vote east in yesterday's primary ranged from 60,000 to 70,000 with both parties claiming the major share. It was believed that each would windup with a total somewhere around 30,000.
No Violence Occurs
On the whole, it was the quietest primary day. in many years. Theres was no ‘violénce from the opening of thé polls at 6 a. mi. to the begin ning of the central counit at 8:45 p. m. Election officials had an unéventful day at the court house, having only a féw minor calls and a handful of challenged voters to handle. Aftér getting away to a slow start which brought out less than 10 per cent of the 270,000 registered voters in the first six hours, the voting lagged until late afternoon, and closed with a mild rush. :
+. Hour Ahead of '40 Count
There was the anticipated e¢onfusioh in getting the complicated central counting board into operation, but ‘the start was more than an hour ahead: of the 1940 getaway and some officials said the final tabulations might be reached by tomorrow night. Around the various headquarters there was only a little activity a few hours after the polls closed. Campaign leaders had no more official word of the outcomé than the general public, buf they had their reports from the precinct workers and-most of them had pretty defin-| ite opinions on the outcome of practically all races. So most of thém wound up the ‘office work, took a 106k dt the Tomlinson. Hall counting and called it a day,

At 10 p. m. a complaint came in that the officials of one precinct|g were too drunk to bring in the ballots. Mr, EHiott checked to make sure they got in. The back-breaking job in the counting procedure was done by about 25 boys from Howe high school, which Mr. Ettinger’s daughter, Marsha, attends, and from Butler university. Theirs was the job of carrying the boxes from the entrance of Tomlinson hall, where they were checked in, to the second floor, where they were dumped and the ballots counted. At first they went at it with great zest. Two hours later théy were becoming a bit limp. 2 » ”
Actual counters of the ballots get 75 cents;an hour, Supervisors, who answer questions and see that things go right, get $1 an hour. Most of the counters were middleaged women, who, as one veteran official put it, were glad to get hold of some “bingo money.” By the time thé job is finished, the counters will have earned from $25 to $30. * Despite previous fears that counters would be hard to get bécausé of more attractive opportunities in war industries, officials said they hdd little trouble employing them.
