*McLamb Leads In Race For
Recorder; Changes Occur
In Commissioners, Board
Of Education
Ray H. Walton defeated S.
Bunn Frink for the Democratic
nomination for Senator from the
10th Senatorial- District in the
primary election Saturday and
Odell Williamson won a clear
majority in a three-man race for
the Democratic nomination for
House of Representatives.
In other contests, Sheriff E. V.
Leonard won an easy victory over
Milton J. Bowen for the Demo
cratic nomination for Sheriff;
Jack Brown defeated Elrich Hick
man in a tight battle for the
nomination for Clerk of Superior
Court; and W. J. McLamb led a
four-man field for the Democratic
nomination for Judge of Record
er’s Court.
In this latter race, there is a
possibility of a second primary
between McLamb and H. Mercer
Johnson, who finished second.
Members of the Brunswick
County Board of Elections were
wrestling late last night with the
knotty problem presented by the
law governing nomination of five
commissioners from six town
ships. They were agreed that Ira
L. Chadwick was a nominee, rep
resenting Lockwoods Folly town
ship; that the same was true of
D. Bert Frink of Shallotte town
ship, D. L. Ganey of Northwest
and F. Herbert Swain of Smith
ville. The big problem came with
the fifth nomination, which in
volved R. L. Rabon of Town
Creek and Odell Jenrett of Wac
camaw township.
Paradoxically, Rabon was sixth
high man and Jenrette was sev
enth; but E. C. Blake, the fifth
man in the voting county, was
ousted when Swain was declared
the winner by a 10-vote margin in
Smithville. Rabon had 1722 votes
to lead E. C. Mize in Town Creek,
and one opinion shared by board
members is that Rabon is the
nominee, subject to a second pri
mary call by Mize. Another opin
ion is that Rabon might be chal
lenged for a second race by Jen
rette, who polled 1678 votes.
There was no definite agree
ment reached Tuesday night be
fore a recess was taken, and an
other session is slated for this
afternoon.
Two old members of the Bruns
wick County Board of Education
were upset in Saturday’s voting,
with one old member holding his
seat. The losers were Roy Sellers
of the Bolivia School District, who
trailed Homer Holden in a three
man race. A second primary call
is possible here, but Sellers has
told Chairman H. Foster Mintz
that he is not interested.
In Shallotte School District
Chandler Rourk was defeated by
O. K. Bellamy, but a third man
in the race, Rozell Hewett, sets
up the possibility for a second
race.
Arthur J. Dosher won over
Philip King in the Southport
School District.
In the race for House of Rep
reesntatives Williamson polled
2517 votes, followed by A. H.
Ganey, Jr., with 1354 and O. W.
Thorsen with 723.
In the race for sheriff Leonard
polled 3259 to lead the ticket.
Milton J. Bowen had 1314 votes.
