President Roosevelt carried Car- J teret County with 3434 vot-.-s a gainst 1544 cast for Gov. Dewey. Approximately 12 per cent of the county's eligible voters failed to cast a ballot. In view of the fact, however, that only 374 ab sentee ballots were received from apprcxihately 1600 Carteret men and women in the armed services in time to count, later figures will undoubtedly show that Carteret did a man-sized job in getting out ner'.y 100 per cent of the available voters. Carteret's vote reflected the voting trend in the State. Gregg Cherry polled 3392 vote? against 1524 for his Republican gubernatorial opponent, Frank Patton. Former Governor Clyde R. Hoey polled 3422 votes againsl 1510 for his Republican United States Senatrial candidate, A. I Ferree. D. . Ward and R. A.

Election day, all over the coun ty, passed without one broken head, without even a harsh word. Reports from each of the 27 pre cincts drew a considered conclu sion on the part of old-timers, who should know, that this was the best ordered, best expedited election ever held in Carteret. Polls were open from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. with voting every where steady throughout the day with only a slight increase in the late afternoon hours when offices and stores had closed. t f V 4 r ! v 71 : ... : 34 J CARTERET BOYS IN I THE SERVICE Earl Ray Willis, GM 2c, L'SX, is a patient at the U.
