Present Indications are that a heavy vote will "be cast, although not of a record-breaking character. There are a number of contests on the Re publican ticket In this county in ad dition to state and congressional of fices, and on the Democratic ticket although few local contests there Is much interest in the congressional and senatorial races. Renewed activity on the part of some candidates for county nomina tions in the last few. days undoubted ly will be reflected in the voting to morrow. In at least one race, and pos sibly more, the outcome appears more In doubt than ever. Reports received are that L. H. Bramwell, Republican candidate for sheriff, Is gaining more strength, and predictions are being heard today that the contest between Mr. Bramwell and Sheriff Jesse bresh- ears will be close. In the Republican senator Hal race, supporters of Senator Stelwer are claiming Union county, but those favoring former Senator Stan field re gard their candidate as likely to sur prise many with' his strength.
