Post Office Primary Settles Boone Vote Contest
Four days of hard labor and a ballot box yielded a clear result in Boone with M. P. Critcher winning the postmaster primary over E S Coffey and Mrs Lovill by sixty to fifty four and thirty three votes respectively. The process was peaceful with all candidates agreeing to abide by the outcome. The Lenoir News notes the broader theme of war’s ragged edge and promotes prayer as a path to settlement instead of force.
