Firemen Prevent
LPF Barn Loss

Prompt action by the prisoners
and the men of the London Volun-
teer Fire Department held loss to
a minimum as fire of undetermined
origin destroyed 10 feeding boxes
in feeding lot at the Prison Farm
Thursday.
Prisoners reported the fire at
approximately 1915. A bri S k
breeze blowing toward a barn in
which was stored several tons of
hay famed the flames. The Lon
don Fire Department was called
and responded with both trucks as
the intensity of the heat on the
barn wall and floor increased. Pri-
son officials, fearing the barn
would catch, called the West JEFF
ferson Dept. for their additional
water tank truck.
The fire was under control at
los pm when the West Jefferson
unit arrived.

Speasmaker, Phillips Gain
Primary Nomination Here
Landes, Mcclure
Lose Out Tuesday

Mayor Ned Speasmaker was
successful in the Republican pri-
mary Tuesday by margin of al
votes. Early returns indicated a
close race. The totals were, for
Speasmaker, 548; for Landes, 507.
In the only other contest, City
Treasurer Jack Phillips won a de-
cisive victory over his opponent,
Bill Mcclure, with a plurality of
268 votes. These totals were, Phil
lips, 635; Mcclure, 367.
In the first ward, precinct A
voted 101 for Landes, "a for Speas-
maker. Precinct B voted 81 for
Landes, az for Speasmaker.
Second ward, A, 55 for Landes,
43 for Speasmaker. Precinct B, 39
for Landes, 73 for Speasmaker.
Third ward, A, Al for Landes,
90 for Speasmaker; B, SO for
Landes, 100 for Speasmaker.
Fourth ward, A, 62 for Landes,
68 for Speasmaker; B, SO for Lam
des, 48 for Speasmaker.
In the Treasurer's race, Phillips
led. in all precincts except A of
the fourth ward, which Mcguire
carried Sc to 81.
In the voting for Councilman
at-large, only John Choomans
name appeared on the ballot. c.
O. Snow received % write-in votes
and F. E. Kidwell received II
write-in votes. According to a rul-
ing by the Attorney General, these
men are eligible by reason of ma
jority to qualify for nomination.
They must file an expense account
and pay filing fee within 10 days.
Other write-ins for council-man-at
large were: Raymond Rea, 7; r.
n. Ardrey, Z; Richard Tracey, s.;
Robert Day 3; c. B. Chesbrough,
Q: M. ]. Chakeres, 2; thirteen
others received one vote each.
Interesting sideliglE is that in
the contest for councilman from
his own ward, Mr. Ardrey receiv-
ed II write-in votes. However,
since no name appeared on the bal
lot in the ward, Mr. Ardrey would
need Is percent of the vote cast
there, or As votes, according to
the ruling of the Attorney Gener-
al.
The total number of ballots cast
in the primary was 1914, indica-
tive of the interest here. Heaviest
vote ever recorded was in 1853,
when a hot Mayors race brought
out 1474 voters in the primary.
Write-in voters had hey-day,
and two good Democrats were
written in on the Republican bal
lot
