1 GOP Far Ahead
Week
Republican Candidates Holding 3-1 .Majority Over Democratic Opponents - By ART WRIGHT Republicans continued their overwhelming lead over Democrats in the second week of The Times
Straw Vote.
In three of the four major offices covered by the pulsefeeling. Republican candidates maintained a 3 to 1 majority over Democratic opponents. And in one race, a Republican increased his lead to more than 5 to 1.
Three Republicans increased the lead they grabbed in the first week of the straw vote. One Democrat cut the margin held by his Republican opponent, but still remained far behind. Leading vote-getter in the
voters was Dan Smith, GOP aspirant for sheriff. He widened the distance between himself and Sheriff James Cunningham, Democrat. ; : Here are the results in percentages, showing the first
