terms he has served Sussex County
as Deputy Sheriff, and in his pres
ent office as Deputy Clerk of the
Peace, Bud Coy, of Georgetown, Re-
publican candidate for Sheriff OF
Sussex County, looms on the horizon
as one of the most popular candi-
dates on the Republican ticket down

"I feel confident that there will be +e
substantial Republican majority n
lied up in our county. I believe it II
lay reach 1000 if not more. Person h
lily expect to rank with the other n

esults are totaled, but aside from ir
esiring our ticket to win with s,
)und majority to aid the National al
nd State tickets I am not figuring al
