Two Counties Nominate Same Man for State's Attorney
William A. Lewis, incumbent state’s attorney in Union County, was nominated in two Southern Illinois counties in Tuesday’s primary. He received 189 write-in votes in Pulaski County where no ballot listed a candidate. Lewis agreed to the write‑in to allow the party to select its own nominee later after his withdrawal. He plans to withdraw and let the county Democratic Committee pick another candidate. Authorities say Illinois law requires a state’s attorney be elected in each county for four years, but no prohibition against serving in two counties exists. Lewis called the dual nomination a strange situation.

TV interference from WSIU not just local problem
An area TV reception issue tied to WSIU FM signals appears nationwide with limited fixes. An Eaton and Brown repairman in Carbondale notes color reception disruption on WPSD TV by a WSIU herringbone pattern and audio. FCC confirms broader FM to TV interference in the 91.9 MHz range and ongoing study. Wave traps and antenna realignment can reduce interference by about 90 percent at a cost around 12 dollars.
