While the Democratic majorities this year were whittled nearly in tialf, and more than half in some ?ases, they still went in by from 500 to 600 majority. The reduction in the Democratic majority was caused by an active and aggressive campaign waged 3y the Republicans. The Demo :rat vote was not mucn dinerent prom former election but figures ;how that some thousand or more Republicans got out and voted ruesday. For instance in the Sheriff's race in 1946, four years igo, Middleton polled 3942 votes ;o 2758 for Williams. This year Middleton polled 4145 votes but lis Republican opponent Parker Killed 3597, or 839 more total rotes than Williams did four years igo.
