cincts, they will receive three
ballots. Voters in the Cald-
we'll exempted village school
district will receive the fourth
question and issues ballot for the
proposed school bond issue of
$84,000.00.
Judges and clerks in the var
ious precincts have been in
structed to count out the presi-
dental ballot first and then the
state half of the party column
ballot. 1t is expected, however,
the precinct officials, will count
the entire state ticket at the same
time, when the officials tally gets
under way.
Election board officials are of
the opinion that it will be at least
midnight or later before any ac-
curate count can be obtained on
the county half of the ticket.
Clerk ]. K. Walkenshaw of the
election board expects the tally
of presidential ballots to progress
very quickly, followed by the
state and then judicial tickets.

est interest for Noble county
voters, begins with representative
to congress, where incumbent P.
w. Griffiths is being opposed by
Robert T. Secrest. 1t is expected
that Secrest, as in the past, will
carry Noble county, with prob
ably a larger majority than he
received two years ago.
For representative to the gen
eral assembly, incumbent Gecrge
c. Philpot is seeking his second
term. Opposing him on the
Democratic ticket is Bob M.
Spriggs, former auditor and pub
lie official.
The race for county commits
sioner in Noble county, with two
to be elected, is perhaps one of
the most hotly contested in the
county.
Charles Rayner, who is seek
ing his second term, and Halls E.
Sullivan, are the Republican cam
didates. Opposing them are Nor
ris H. Bigley of Sharon township
and haywood j. Love of Elk
township. The outcome of this
race is expected to be very close.
For county auditor, George E.
Bates, Republican, is seeking his
first elective term. Campaigning
vigorously against him for this
office is Democratic candidate
Ralph A. Hannahs of Summer
field.
