HIGH S WIN
Commissioners Run Al Large;
Not Elected By Townships

In other words, where there is
a lot of ballot splitting, this puts
each candidate in the position OF
running against all other candI-
dates. Conversely, it puts all can
didates in the position of running
against one candidate.
In primaries, candidates run ac-
cording to their township. But in
the general election, they run al
large.
UNUSUAL TWIST
If the election is very close, this
could bring about an unusual
twist in the November general
election
II could place some DemOcra-
tic candidates in the position of
not only having to beat the Re-
publicans, but also some of the
Democrats, in order to win.
By the same token, if any Of tbs
Republican candidates win, they
may have to beat not only Demo
cratic candidates, but also mem
bers of their own party.
For either of these things to oc-
cur, Of course, there must be lot
of split voting in November.
Obviously, if most people vote
straight tickets, all five candidates
from the same party would win,
