ine primary has come ind gone.
It left some smiling1 while others are
sighing. . Mr. J. E. McFarland (Bud)
of Forest City was here Tuesday and
stated to The Sun that he would like-
"ly contest the nomination for the
Legislature with Mr. T. J. Wilkins m
a second primary. Candidates who
"were second in the primary Saturday
have until Saturday night, June 10th
to file notice of application for a se
cond contest. As The Sun goes to
press the noitces have not yet been
filed. In all probability there will
be a second primary between Messrs
McFarland and Wilkins, Holland and
Harris, the latter for the six year
term of county commissioner. The
second primary, if one is held, will
be July 1st.
There are four candidates wrho
could call, or be voted on in a second
primary: Viz: McFarland, Hardin for
sheriff, Holland for commissioner
and Nanney for the Board of Edu
cation. Chief Hardin says he will not en
ter a second contest against Sheriff
Beason, despite the fact that many of
his friends have urged him to. Mr.
Holland said if McFarland ran it over
he would also. It is not known
whether or not Nanney will contest
against Calton for third place on the
Board of Education. Some of his
friends are anxious for him to try it
again.
