(Continued on Page Four) AN APPRECIATION To the many loyal friends who supported and voted for me at the Primary last Tuesday, I desire to express my sincere thanks. Your help is all the more appreciated because of the unwarranted and untruthful attack that was made on me through the medium of handbills that were circulated throughout the community Monday evening. The result of the Primary indicates that the voters do not approve and are not influenced by such tactics. I have tried fairly and conscientiously to serve my community and district during all the years of my public life. That will be my policy in the future. I hope to merit your continued confidence. * * 47-fp THOS. A. BOLGER. KELLER, KELSEY WIN AGAIN!

AThuge vote cast by members of the various Townsend clubs in favor :>f Woodcock together with a well organized campaign made the battle interesting. Woodcock carried eight precincts m McHenry county including Grafton one, Dorr two, Hebron^MoHenry one, Nunda two and three and Algonquin one and five. Ehorn Is Winner Over E. Hr HARRY L. EHOR\ Harry L. Ehorn of Richmond coasted to victory over Edward H. Cook of Huntley in Tuesday's primarv Ehorn polled 5,288 votes as against 3,861 for Cook. It was a clean cut victory for the Richmond man over the veteran from Huntley who has served some 17 years in the office. President Franklin D. Roosevelt lot his Democratic party in the McHenry county primary with a total of 2.761. John Nance Garner received only 1,- 360 votes. In the race for United States soft* ator James Slattery won out in the county over Benjamin Adamowski by a vote of 2,243 to 1,328. Harry B. Hershey swept to victory over John Stelle by a vote of 2,090 to 1,276. Thomas A. Bolger is a winner in the fight for the one place on the Democratic ticket for the legislature. He polled 8,126 votes in McHenry county while his opponent, Jack Hoff, received 2,387. Bolger ran right along with th« other ad' inistration candidates. Likewise the candidates for precinct committeemen on the organization ticket were easy winners. It appears that the Democrats were outscored in every precinct in the county* Even old rock-ribbed Hartland came back into the Republican column when Republicans polled the largest vote in many years. McHenry three, another stronghold of th£ Democrats came back strong for Republican, candidates. In gener al there was a big trend back toward the oldtime Republican pluralities of bygone years. Republicans in general were jubilant over the Vote cast in the county while Democrats had little to say. They found it hard to get out votes like they did in 1932, 1934, 1936 and 1938. There was a bitter fight between the regular organization, headed by the state jobholders, and the Stelle groift, headed by S. T. Oliver. The Oliver group feels that Garner polled a very fine vote in face of the machine organization wh^h backed President Roosevelt precinct.
