Vincent Fails to Reach 35 Percent in Primary Vote
In the ninth district the Republican congressional race heads to convention after Vincent of Guthrie Center failed to hit the 35 percent threshold. He led with a slim margin, closely followed by Judge Rateliff of Red Oak and C. A. Swanson, with Vincent about 1,200 votes short of nominating status. In the eleventh district State Senator Campbell led in the long shot for the succession, but only reached 33 percent. Zellmer, once a Cass County supervisor candidate, was not on the ballot due to an error that required 2 percent of the governor’s vote. a mistaken 2 percent rule left Zellmer’s campaign short of the line for ballot placement.
