FORMER MAYOR OF WOODSTOCK DIES A reminder -- "Valley of Ghosts," Senior class play at high school Friday evening--a mystery-comedy you will not want to mass. *46fp John D. Donovan, former banker and ex-mayor of Woodstock, passed away at his home in that city Wednesday morning. He would have been 83 years old in June of this year. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 o'clock, Friday morning, from St. Mary's church, Woodstock,, PRIMARY DRAWS BIG LOCAL VOIf SECOND PRECINCT GOES DEMOCRATIC The. primary election of Tuesday was a history maker in the second precinct of McHenry, where, for the first time in at least thirty years, there was a majority of Democratic votes cast. According to the total votes cast in this precinct there were 291 Democratic ballots and 155 Republican ballots, a record unheard of in the strong G.O-P. second precinct with its voting place in the city hall. In the presidential primary in 193*2 there were 170 Democratic ballots to 205 Republican, showing a considerable gain for the party which was previously almost unheard of in the second precinct, a fact shown in the results of the election returns of 1930 when only five Democrats declared themselves in the second precinct. The first precinct, however, with its polls at Ringwood, was the only McHenry township prelcinct to remain loyal to the old party with 226 Republican ballots and 145 Democratic ballots cast. The third precinct, with polls in the Colby building, which ha£ been a Democratic stronghold for years, showed a material increase in the popularity of the party this primary with 527 Democratic ballots cast 4.o 112 Republican. In the primary of 1932 the third precinct went Democratic by 109 votes and in 1930 the Democratic majority was only 28 votes. , Call For More Ballots Owing to, the great demand for Democratic ballots in the third precinct the supply was exhausted soon after noon and a fresh supply was rushed #ver from Woodstock. BHght, clear weathefl helped j» swell the local vote in the primary Tuesday with party leaders of both camps attempting energetically to muster a heavy count. The intensity of local fjghts promoted more than the usual amount o interest for an "off year" with McHenry having several candidates who called, out an interested local vote. The heavy Democrat!Sc vote was unodubtedly the result of the party being divided into two groups in the county and township, with both groups having candidates entered in the field and campaigning vigorously during the last few weeks. Despite the controversy over the rifrht of a voter to change his party Affiliations from those of two years ago, it is evi<J?nt| that there was very little challenging done here and that local voters wfere allowed to change their party if they so desired. The long ballots made the task of tallying the votes a difficult and tedious one with clerks and judges working until midnight. Believe it or not, the closest contest in McHenry was on the Republican ticket in the second precinct, even though the Democrats did claim the spotlight. In addition to being the closest contest in McHenry, this was the only contest in the county for Republican committeeman, and was staged be- <Vveen (Herman Kneutzer and Glen Peterson, with Peterson winning by only two votes. Krevtzer is accustomed to close contests, however, although he has previously been on the winning end, as in 1932 when he beat Peter M. Frett by only three votes- The vote this year was: Peterson 74 and Kreutzer 7t On the Democratic ticket the precinct committeemen already in office were returned by popular vote, with Lester Bacon winning in the second precinct with 192 votes to 54 for Gerald Newman and 39 for John F. Knox. In the third precinct Henry J. Miller received 275 votes for committeeman. winning in a tight race, over Larry Huck, who received 242 votes. Other candidates from McHenry whose names appeared on the Democratic ballot were Thomas A. Bolger fdr representative in the general assembly, who won out over Connel M. McDermott, McHenry attorney, by r,24 votes. The vote Dy precincts was Bolger, first. 333, second, 579, and third, 651. McDermott, first, 33; second, 222, and third, 684. The latter showed his strength in the third district, where he led by 33 votes. Howard Cairns, commander of McHenry Post, American Legion, was popular in his hom^ township, receiving 535 votes for county clerk to 118 for Stockton. For senatorial committeeman, John A. Thennes led with a total of 475 votes to 275 for Paul J. Doherty and 37 for James A. Madison. The vote by precincts was: Thennes, first, 60; second, 105; third, 310. Doherty, first, 47; second, 110; third, 118. Madison, first, 4; second, 14; third, 19. Math N. Schmitt was unopposed in the first precinc? for committeeman, receiving 120 votes.

For representative in Congress, eleventh district, James A. Howell led in the township with 380 votes and < Continued on last page.) Carroll, Lyons and Bolger Win Again Mnch interest waa centered around the fight for nomination for seats in the Illinois general assembly from the Eighth Senatorial district, both on the Republican and Democratic tickets, as the nomination is equal to election in the fall.
