days Voting.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April s.-nlinois' tenn
pestuous primary campaign, now draw
ing to a close, is a strictly family
affair.
Outside issues, including the presi-
dental race. have little or no place in
Tuesdays election.
The lack of contests in the presiden-
tial preferential primaries, which are
not binding, has subordinated interest
In the election of delegates to the ma
tional conventions.
United States Senator James Hamil-
ton Lewis of Illinois is the lone entry
in the Democratic presidential primary
while former Senator Joseph I. France
of Maryland Is without opposition in
the Republican race.
But heated gubernatorial contests in
both major parties have kept the pri-
mary from being anything but placid
In. the Republican field, Omer N
Custer, former State treasurer, has the
Endorsement of the Anti-Saloon League
The four other major candidates are
either out and out wet or moist. They
are Edward ]. Brundage, Chicago, for
mer attorney general; Len Small, twice
Governor; Oscar E. Carlstrom, attorney
general, and william H Malone, former
head Of the State Tax Commission.
The Democratic gubernatorial race
has been no less bitter. Mayor Antor
J, Cermak Of Chicago brought about
the entry of Probate Judge Henry
Horner of Cook County in opposition tc
his old foe, National Committeeman
Michael L. Igoe. A third Democratic
candidate, Bruce Campbell of East st
Louis, has strong down-State support.
