Chinese communists have little in
common with Russian communistic
theories, members of the Bluffton
Lions club were told at a dinner
meeting Tuesday night by Chu Yang
Keng, Chinese student in this
country and whose home is in Kun
ming
The Chinese brand of communism
actually is more in the nature of a
socialistic movement, he explained,
and although Russian sympathy is
with the group there are no close
ties.
Keng envisioned a continuation of
conflict in China as long as Amer
lean and Russian relations are
strained, unless one group capitu-
lates. to the other.
Russian sympathy has not taken
the form of military or other aid
for Russia's economic situation pre-
sumably will not permit assistance
the Lions were told
In General George Marshall's mis-.

PRIMARY APPEARS
Unnecessary FOR
FOURTH ELECTION
No Contests Develop on Either
Ticket For Town Offices
At Filing Deadline
Party Harmony Rules AS Fac
tiOnalism Is Overcome
I'm Ranks

With no contests developing as
Democrats and Republicans filed
states of candidates for II village
offices Tuesday at the board of elec-
tions in Lima, Bluffton apparently
will not have a primary for the
fourth straight municipal election.
The towns last municipal primary
was held in August, 1941, but since
that time there have been no con-
tests for public offices. This situa-
ton found no primaries necessary
in 1943, 1945 and 1947, and present
indications point to continuation Of
the trend this year.
On the other hand, increased in
terest on the part of prospective
candidates is evident in the filing, as
for the first time in many years
Democrats have full slate and
Republicans lack only one candidate
for complete list.
Party Harmony
Party harmony also seemed to be
having its inning, with no Indication
of the riffs which have plagued
Republicans and Democrats alternate
ly in the last two elections.
With factionalsm apparently over
come in drafting states of candidates
for next falls election, party leaders
were hopeful there will be no repe-
tition this year of write-in carlf-s
paigns, which upset the political
apple cart here in 1916 and 1947.
In those years, both of the write
in campaigns revolved about the of
| flee of mayor, the shot seat" In the
municipal government setup, and fol-
lowers of both parties were looking
| forward to the possibility of an cleo
tion next fall conducted on the
customary party lines.
