Primary opposition fades as hard roads drive clears in races
Voters approved the hard roads program in many counties but opponents remain. Patterson of Kosssih county led the anti bond group and was defeated while Fred Lovrien of Humboldt was renominated. Senators Ulstad Wright Thompson and others were held over as organizing efforts continue. Several incumbents secured nominations without opposition, and a potential contest may challenge the Patterson Breckenridge senate result in the Forty-seventh district amid a close total primary vote near 250 000.
