Bond Issue
Is Passed
Warren County voters Tues
day kept Warren County voters
in the Democratic column as
they gave the Johnson- Hump
hrey Presidential ttck< ma
jority of around a 1 over
the Goldwater-MUlei ticket,
gave an even larger majority
to Judge Dan K. Moore over
his Republican rival Robert Ga
vin, and approved astateschool
bond Issue by a vote of more
than two to 1.
Many voters split their
tickets In Warren County's
heaviest vote in aGeneral Elec
tion, nearly equaling the 1964
Primary vote. The spilt, how
ever, was largely confined to
the presidential and guberna
torial contests, with county of
ficials unopposed and state of
ficials receiving the usual ma
jority of around five to one.
It Is estimated that the Repub
lican vote was less than 1,000.
Judge Moore carried all of
the 14 precincts by heavy ma
jorities, with Roanoke Town
ship giving him a vote of 55
to 2. While President Johnson
led Moore In the State, such was
not the case In Warren County.
Moore's majority was more
than 2500, while Johnson's ma
jority was slightly more than
900.
Three precincts, Norllna,
River and Smith Creek, gave
majorities to Goldwater. Only
one precinct, Smith Creek,
defeated the state bond issue,
and here the defeat Was by only
one vote.
In the nation Johnson won by
a landslide, receiving the great
est popular vote ever receiv
ed by a presidential candidate,
and carrying all but six states,
as he received 486 electoral
votes to Goldwater's 52.
Needed to win was 270.
Goldwater only carried one
state outside the deep South,
his own state of Arizona?where
some question remains. He
picked up five states in the
South?Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina, and
