One sPledged" Candidate.
Mr.. Hewitt was the only delegate
at-large candidate pledged" among
the Dewey and Stassen states The
fact he was pledged" permitted the
printing on the ballot along with
his name, the name of the presi-
Dental candidate he favored. The
others, declared but not pledged,
had only their names on the ballot.
The two Eisenhower pledged del
egates-at-large candidates and their
votes were Joseph Moore, 6,094, and
John P. H. Chandler, jr., 5,016. A
final candidate for delegate at large,
William T. Coleman, undeclared,
had 4,067 votes.
In some respects the test in the
primary was one of the personal
popularity of the candidates them
selves. Mr.. Sulloway, the Stassen
delegate at large who won, is Repub-
lican national committeeman and a
leading attorney in the State. An
other Stassen candidate for delegate
at large was the former Republican
national committeeman, Mr.. Bur-
roughs. Mr.. Wiggin, the defeated
Dewey delegate-at-large candidate,
Is Speaker of the House.
First District Vote.
In the 1st district Virgil White,
former State motor vehicle commis-
sioner, was elected-a Dewey dele
gate. Mr.. Stassen picked up his
only other delegate in this district,
William G. Saltonstall, headmaster
of Phillips Exeter Academy. Three
Dewey candidates had been entered
in this district to run against the
two put forward by the Stassen
camp. Mr.. White had 9,463 votes
and Mr.. Saltonstall 8,523. The two
other Dewey candidates ran third
and fourth, Chester w. jerks, 7,172,
and Thomas ]. Manning, 6,551. The
second Stassen candidate, William
l.. Phinney, was fifth with 5,14O. If
the Dewey vote had not been di-
vided between Mr.. jerks and Mr..
Manning, the New York Governor
might well have won both delegates
In the district.
Gov. Dewey's two delegates,
elected in the second district, and
their vote, were: Charles A. Holden,
a professor at Dartmouth, 8,705, and
Charles M. Mills, pledged" to Gov.
Dewey, 8,27o. Running second and
third were the Stassen candidates
Donald G. Matson, 1855, and Philip
C. Heald, $685.. Charles w. Tobey,
jr., had 6,667, and Franklin Elan
ders, favorable to Gen. Eisenhower,
2,037.
A record vote Of approximately
$4,000 turned out for the primary.
The largest number of votes were
cast In the rural districts, since the
primary fell on town meeting day,
when the voters elect local officers.
It was to the rural voters that Mr.
Stassen had made his particular
appeal.
With the prediction decision
reached in New Hampshire, poll
ticians looked to the Wisconsin test.
Politicians here say Gen. Macarthur
will have to collar more than one
third Of the States ~ delegates to
create the kind of boom his friends
think would carry him along In
other primaries.
Mccarthy Welcomes Test.
Senator Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, said the Wisconsin results
will settle it one way or the other
for Macarthur"
The General viii have to make
q pretty good showing there to
have much chance" Senator
Brewster told a reporter.
Senator Mccarthy, Republican of
Wisconsin, Stassen backer, said
he is glad Gen. Macarthur has come
out in the open.
