Primary Election Was The Hottest In State History
Last Tuesday’s primary election drew a flood of candidates for congressmen at large on both party tickets. Voters faced crowded booths and shuffled ballots as slates misaligned with official papers caused confusion. Many incumbents were displaced, and the state eyed new faces in November with contests for governor and senator. Committeeman races in Linn Sullivan and Browning drew local interest, while farcical talk of future film showings and specials persisted as voters prepared for November.
