Light Vote Observed Across State in Tuesday Primary
Voters turned out slowly in Leavenworth and rural precincts with about half of registered voters participating. The contest centered on U S Senate with local races for sheriff prosecuting attorney and county clerk, yielding renomination for McManus and Sumner and a possible Armstrong win for county clerk. The Wenatchee paper’s handling of Swartz’s candidacy drew commentary as outsiders sought county offices beyond Wenatchee.
