each package of cigarettes. None
objected to a l5-cent raise in the

Merchants argued that business

To Gov. McMath's S Bid
For Arkansas Office
BY the Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 3d.
Francis Cherry yesterday estab-
lished himself as the man who'll
oppose the bid OF Sid McMath,
presidential favorite, for a third
term Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in q showdown on
August IL.
Mr.. Cherry, man with a new
political gimmick-the radio talk
athon"-showed surprising second
place strength behind Gov. Nc
Math, who led a five-man field
in yesterdays preferential pri-
mary.
Definite losers were: Represen-
tative Boyd Tackett, Attorney
General Ike Murry and former
Attorney General Jack Holt, who
was narrowly beaten by Gov. Nc
Math four years ago.
Incomplete Vote Totals.
Returns from 2, ,107 of the States

Mr.. Cherry. 81,473: Mr.. Holt, A.
683; Gov. McMath, 90,908; Mr.
Murry. 5000; Mr.. Tackett, 60,074
It was obvious that the total
vote would be far below pre-elec-
ton predictions. some of them
ranging as high as $4,000.
Mr.. Cherry today confidently
claimed he would wipe out Gov
McMath's hope of being Arkansas

today.
Mr.. Vandenberg added that the

claim of his own that he would
run $4,000 votes ahead in the
runoff.
Endorsed by President.
The 40-year-old Gov. McMath,
"a staunch supporter of President
Truman and a frequent visitor at
the White House, was indorsed
openly for a third term by the
President.
The approval was denounced as
interference" by all of Gov. Nc
Mathis opponents, but seemed to
draw little reaction one way or the
other from the voters.
Actually. the campaign was
fought on local issues-notably
Gov. McMath's 2-term-record--
with little reference to national
politics.
Mr.. Cherry, a 43-year-old chan
Gerry judge from Jonesboro, gave
much credit for his showing to
tine talkathOn, a h0urS-l0ng radio
Question on-and-answer session first
used in Florida a few months back.
Broadcast Brought Money.
He was little known politically
outside his own Northeast Arkan-
sas chancery district until the
new type broadcast began to click.
He campaigned, he said. on a
''hand to mouth" basis with most
financial support coming in small
contributions from talk tn n
listeners.
One listener suggested to Mr.
Cherry that he was "just a coun.
try judge"
MIR. Cherry agreed he was "just
Ia country judge" and the designa-
ltion stuck.
