Unofficial Primary Returns Highlight Governor Nomination
Unofficial statewide returns indicate ex Governor Frank B. Willis led Republicans for Governor by a large margin amid light postwar turnout. Brown is running for Lieutenant Governor, with Harvey C. Smith for Secretary of State and Rudolph Arch for State Treasurer. Local counts show James B. Cox leading for Governor in Fulton, while Democratic slate fields John S. Snook and others for Congress and county offices. The county ticket remains incomplete, and the Wauseon Public Library reports new gift and purchased books as vacation ends.
