1.578 VOTES IN M'HENRY PRECINCTS TUESDAY PRECINCT SWINGS BACK TO 6.0. P. COLUMN XAEL WHITING IS NSW COMMITTEEMAN Wrede i" •• : lj- SPECIAL SERVICES Although a in the primary election of y in McHenry county, where Republican strength was said to fully up' to that displayed in 1934, total number of ballots cast in the three McHenry township precincts ouiy showed an average turnout of the voters, with a total of 1,578 ballots cast. Of this number 810 of the* ballots were Republican »nd 768 Democratic. , Interest in,the election was especially keen'"'here because of the Republican contests for all county office nominations except one. Warm winds and a bright sun brought ideal primary • weather, Tuesday, and set a heat record for the day, with the mercury reaching 80 degrees. No. 2 Returns to G. O. P. One of the interesting local features of the primary vote cast here Was the fact that Precinct 2, which includes West McHenry, returned to G. O. P. fold this year with a majority of 27 Republican votes, after straying into the Democratic ranks two years ago for the first time in at least thirty years. Back in the old days at the election in 1930 only five Demcorats declared themselves in the second pre- • cinct. It is expected that a much heavieq vote will be polled at the election in November, as many did not vote fct the primary because of a reluctance to declare themselves. In the first precinct a total of 407 voes were -cast, 134 of which were •Democratic and 273 Republican. In the second precinct there was a total of 461 ballots, with 217 Democratic and 244 Republican and in the third precinct, a Democratic stronghold, out of a total of 710 votes, 417 were Democratic and 293 Republican. The votes came in slowly with only 123 ballots cast in the first precinct at 11:30 a. m. During the afternoon, ho* considerably. The usual large number of cars and workers was missing and it was said that West McHenry was a quiet place, on election without the hubbub of racing automobiles ana electioneering. Considerable excitement was caused at the polls in the third precinct during the day where the sheriff was called to enforce election laws. Bolger Gets Big Vote Rep. Thomas A. Bolger of McHenry, a candidate for re-election, received the loyal support of his townspeople with 959% votes in the third The ever growing toll of deaths in automobile accidents came close to home last week when Joseph F. Wrede, 45 years old of McHenry was killed in Chicago by a hit and run driver. A trip to Chicago to buy a new Blaster suit brought about the death of Wrede who is believed to have been struck by a hit and run driver. ' He was found unconscious Oi® George street near LeClaire avenue in Chicago, Friday afternoon and died while being taken to the Danish- American hospital. He suffered a severe * skull f racture and other injuries. Wrede was identified by army discharge papers found in his pocket. Sheriff Henry Nulle of Woodstock was notified and broke the news of the tragic death to his father, Louis Wrede in McHenry. Since the death of his mother several months ago Joe had been living with his father, who has been in poor health, and worked at Terra Cotta where he had been employed for many years as an expert molder. Born in Chicago in 18&U he cams to McHenry with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Wrede, when a boy and has since made his He is survived by his father, a brother, Arthur, in "Chicago, and a sister, Mrs. Anna Gherman of Spring Lake Minn., and Chicago. Generous and kind hearted Joe was good to his father and before leaving for Chicago Thursday he arranged with neighbors to look after his father, who was HI, until his return. During the World War Wrede .was a member of Company <| of the 27th Infantry and with a few other McHenry men was sent to _ Siberia. Leaving McHeiiry on May 1, 1918, the men entrained for Camp Fremont, Calif., for three months leaving from there for Siberia, where they landed on Labor Day of the same year. Because of an injury Wrede was sent home the following February but the others remained for a period of about twenty months. Following a corqner's inquest in Chicago the body was brought to the Jacob Juste n and Sons undertaking establishment in McHenry. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Harry Lindsay, with Rev. R. W. Pinnell, pastor of the M. E. church, officiating. Burial was in Woodland cemetery.

Lucille McDonough, 17, an honor student and cheer leader, Was killed and her mother, 38, was seriously injured when their car crashed into the express car of a fast south bound train at the Wilson crossing on Route 20. They were driving west on the route returning home from Waukegan where they had been to get the proofs of pictures of the girl, taken for the high school annual, and to get a last view -of the Easter, styles.

Lumley was SUMMER RESIDENT DIES IN CHICAGO A. warm, pleasant day greeted the hundreds of Worshippers who attended churches in McHenry Easter morning in observance of the day of resurrection. As the final hours t>f Lent drew to a close, McHenry, as ^rell as other communities, i» northern Illinois 'prepared for wha/t on every lhand was heralded %s the most joyful Easten since the spring of 1929, with several factors combining to insure the success of the most significant holiday of the Christian world. The solemn air of mourning with Which the church cloaks the Lenten season fast disappeared amid the hustle of last-minute preparations and even the weather' man, usually tricky and undependable, joined in making ready for a perfect celebration. Local churches, which have hailed each Easter with a message of hope in keeping with the religious significance of the day itself, were able to add a note of thanksgiving to the services that attracted hundreds. Churches were decoraed with Easter flowers and choirs prepared Easter hymns in preparation for special services in the churches here. At St. Patricks church W. A. Leonard's mass in B Flat was sung by the choir at the High Mass at 8 o'clock and this was followed by a low mass at 10 a. m. At St. Mary's church the children sang Easter hymns at the low mass at 8 o'clock while at the High Mass at 10:15 a. m., the mixed choir renered the "Holy Family Mass" by John Singenberger, "Regina Coeli" by Stehle and "Glorious Easter Vision." At St. John's church, Johnsburg, the pastor, Father A. J. Vollman, delivered a sermon on the resurrection at the High Mass at 8. o'clock and this was followed by low mass at 10 a. m.

Pinnell, Herman Ellis, Guy Diiker, Arlette Newman, Mrs. Gerald Newman and Mrs. Lillian Cox. From the Alleluia's of praise for the risen Savior of the opening chorus through the story in song of the Eastertide, the sad strains telling of the crucifixion to the joyous tidings that Jesus lives again, the cantata was beautiful and impressive and held the interest of the large congregation of worshippers. Members of the choir, who put forth much time and effort in prep- Precinct committeemen contests In bQth the Democratic and Republican ranks yesterday created considerable interest Probably the feature scrap of the day was in Woodstock, where C. Frank Daly, chairman of the county central committee, defeated Roy J. Stewart, former sheriff and treasurer and present supervisor, by a vote of 39!> to 395. It was a hotly contested scrap and the narrow margin of victory- is evidence that much interest was centered in the precinct in connection with the contest. Grant Nolan defeated Bert Bennett by. a vote of 509 to 159 in Dorr two. The. victor replaced Warren J. Pish, whe was not a candidate, having moved out of the precinct. There was no opposition to Harold Kemerling for committeeman in Dorr one. Ray Conway defeated Harold Frett by a.vote of 135 to 126 in McHenry three. Conway is a prominent Republican leader.

He polled Hi votes to« 85, for Fernholts and 71 for UPSETS MARK TUESDAY'S PRIMARY BALLOTING IN OF OLD TIMERS y.;»K itVeto W Daily Sentinel, W y, April 15) The outstanding feature of Tuesday's primary election in the mind of the editor of the Daily Sentinel is the fact that the older generation in McHenry county politics has had its day and must make way for the oncoming generation ol younger men and It is not that Len Small as a former Governor of Illinois or "Vint" Lumley and Judges Barnes and Smiley, who have served well their generation in McHenry county affairs'over a long period of years, have lost thetr friends, but it is the fact that a new generation is always crowding its way forward and demanding recognition. And thus is life, only we older people fail to recognize the facts as they are and go on from one year to another believing that we still hold the center of the stage, when in reality we are done and should step down and cut to make way for the onrush of younger blood. '.7^ That i8 what happened to Len Small, -twice Governor of Illinois, whose record of accomplishment and service in that office is admitted to have been among the best of a long 4ine of chief executives in this state- Four years ago Len Small won a reuomination for Governor of Illinois in a hectic field of candidates, all of whom developed formidable strength in the total vote they received. This year the former Governor was far outclassed in yote getting power by a popular young man who has been before the people of this state twice before. but each time failed to win in the face of Democratic landslides. Len Small's old friends are still loyal to him, but their ranks have been gradually depleted by the grim reaper Death, and the younger generation of oncoming voters are more interested in a man of their generation and appeal. The Republican party in Illinois has- chosen as its candidate for Governor a young man of splendid character and qualifications, who has won for himself a host of friends and admirers in every part of the state.

Dr. BuQdesen. by an overwhelming vote- The Bundesen vote was small, so small that it is almost piteous. The largest vote he received was in Marengo one where he received 47 votes, while in one precinct he didn't get any votes. His average was around but as a vote getter he proved a n>a*- velous success. William M. Carroll in his campaign for state's attorney was opposed by a veteran vote getter in Mr. Lumley, but Carroll has previouply proven his. ability along this same line in several campaigns and the vote he received all over the county was a distinct compliment and an evidence ot coufid^ace. which he cannot but appreciate. Floyd El Eckert's campaign for the county judgeship attracted a large vote to his standard in all parts of the county. It was Bckert's first entry in politics, and although he did not win he is well pleased wfth the splendid vote he received. The Eekert campaign was well conducted and effective, but lacked the powerful organization backing which was developed when the entire Crystal Lake community got into Henry Cowlin's campaign. Former Judges Barnes and Smiley were two of the old timers wImv,were run over by the onrush of a new generation in McHenry county politics. James J. McCauley of Harvard made a splendid race for state's attorney. . In the northwest part of-the couaty_ he developed plenty of strength and received a fine tribute from the people of that section, but in the balance of the county he was outstepped by Carroll, a veteran of several prevk»a campaigns. It was McCauley's firs! attenyrt in politics as a candidate for himself and like Eekert of Woodstock h«- was unable to develop the power behind hi$> candidacy necessary to carry htm oye* in the parts of the county where h#. was not so well known. The veteran state's attorney, V. S. Lumley. will retire from office at fht, close of his present term, with the good will and friendship of thousand#' of admirers throughout the county. Mr. Lumley was handicapped Mrthis campaign by the effects of the serious illneos through which ho p»«sed k>ss than a year ago He was not physically fit to make a gruelling campaign such as we have Just pa»*e<t will be the standard bearer In the through. For months last summer M (oming campaign in what probably will be the fiercest political battle ever waged in Illinois' politics, against an army of pay rollers such as has never been assembled before. Governor Horner has defeated the Kelly-Nash machine in the "battle over the entire state,' but In Chicago the Bundesen forces were far in the lead. . , In McHenry County In McHenry county we have seen Just what happened in the statewide campaign. Seasoned old campaigners was unable to attend to any at all and only since late in the tall was he able to return to hia duties of office. As a result he could only depend on his friends for the major activities of his campaign, and it is well understood that they gave him the best support which was in their power.
