A total of 81 balloting places will

litical workers of both major par
ties predicted turnout of between
40 and so per cent of the $4,000

pect for 10 county offices and Re-
publican contests are in view for
four Offices. There are no Repub-
lcan candidates for Circuit Court
clerk, treasurer, sheriff and county
surveyor.

candidates for county commissioner
from the End and 3rd commissioner
districts are not on the ballot be-
cause they have no opposition in
