with the outcome of the

some candidates and issues.
Figures in the close com-
missioner race Wednesday
evening showed Foulkes with
1,379 votes compared to 1,345
for Hays. Earlier tallies had
shown Foulkes with a 1,384
total, but County Auditor
Susie Razey reported the
contest became even closer
when a five-vote mistake was
found in Othello Southwest
precinct.
Teh auditor explained that
a total of 256 absentee ballots
have been sent out with over
200 of them back in the office
as of Wednesday. She noted
that 84 of the returned
absentees are from the
Othello area.
"Ballots that still arrive
with postmarks of Tuesday or
before will be eligible to be
counted in the election," the
auditor explained.
She said that the canvas
sing board would start count-
ing the absentees beginning
at 9 a.m. today. The board
consists of commissioners
Ralph Danekas and W.E.
Longmeier, prosecutor
Richard Miller and Mrs.
Razey.
The commissioner balloting
was close throughout most of
the county with Foulkes, a
dryland farmer who moved
here last year, outpolling
Hays in the Othello area.

Write-in Fails
Lefevre, who will be succe-

sor, had a 3 to 1 margin over
former county commissioner
Henry Franz of Lind who had
attempted a belated write-in
campaign two weeks before
the election.
Lefevre polled 1,584 votes
compared to just 589 for
Franz, with most of Franz'
support coming in the dryland
area of the county. The
write-in candidate got less
than 100 of his votes in the 11
Othello precincts.
County totals for other local
unopposed candidates were
'Mrs. Razey, auditor, 2,215;
Mildred Womach, clerk,
2,244; Miller, prosecutor,
2,153; R.D. Snowden, sheriff,

Alva Lightbody, Ritzville,

All were unopposed.
National Races
Interestingly Othello joined
state voters in giving Demo-
crat Warren Magnuson the
edge over Republican chal-
lenger Jack Metcalf for state
senate, while the county
totals went in favor of
Metcalf.
The Othello totals were 623
for Magnuson and 470 for
Metcalf, with Metcalf winning
in the county 1,407 to 1,224.
Other candidate totals in the
county were 125 for Gene
Goosman and three for Clare
