Stevens County Primaries Face Light Turnout And Contests
The 1918 Stevens County primaries proceed with around 2004 candidates in a low turnout year due to war work and shipyards. Republicans field contests for commissioners districts two and three and for school superintendent and county attorney, while Democrats omit filings for several offices and rely on write ins. The congressional race features Dill and Webster in the Republican camp and Tustin challenging Dill on war stance amid divided progressive support. Precinct committeemen will be chosen to organize party machinery for two years.
