District 32 In the state senate District 32 Democratic primary race which includes Clark township in Johnson county, state representative John P.

Flanagan defeated challenger Ronald E. Roach, 4,466 to 2,309. Flanagan garnered 54 votes in Clark township to Roach's 56 votes, but handily defeated his opponent in Marion county, 4,412 votes to 2,253 for Roach. Flanagan will oppose incumbent district 32 state senator Charles E. Bosma who was unopposed in the GOP primary.

Not surprised Mullendore said Tuesday night he was "not surprised" at the outcome of the election "when I saw how many people he had down here (in Johnson county)." Dr. Boys, administrator of the Baptist Academy in Indianapolis, was unavailable for comment on his upset victory today, but Mrs. Boys attributed the win to "a lot of hard work by volunteers." Mrs. Boys said that the student body of the Baptist Academy and the Baptist High School assisted their administrator in canvassing Johnson county for votes. "We walked the whole county," she noted, but added they did not campaign heaVily in Morgan county where the victory was won.

She said student and adult volunteers "did some phoning in Morgan county." Although he works in Indianapolis, Dr. Boys resides at 1604 Whippoorwill Court, Imperial Hills, Greenwood. Boys' campaign manager attributed the win to "good planning and organization" as well as to the issues. Campaign manager Dave Maurer, past or of Villa Baptist Church, Indianapolis, said Dr. Boys' opposition to abortion, gun control and high taxes were important in the upset victory.

He said the primary issue his candidate espoused was opposition to abortion.

Finally, at 10:30 p.m. the last results were in and even as the totals were being publicized, the crowd began dispersing. By 11 only a few zealous persons were still busily scribbling down results from the boards on their own tally sheets. Daily Journal editor Robert Reed wrote in his column Tuesday that "if all goes well and results of Johnson county's primary elections should be available well before midnight Everything did not exactly go well, but results were available before midnight. One person who truly seemed to have a good time Tuesday night was Frances Melton.

Miss Melton viewed Election Central from the "other side" Tuesday. As former Johnson County Clerk, she had always worked tabulating results at the courthouse. Not wanting to remain idle this year, Miss Melton insisted on helping Election Central workers. "This is fun, I'm really enjoying this," Miss Melton said repeatedly. "It's not time to go home yet," she protested when at 11 p.m.

Daily Journal employes starting cleaning up coffee cups, picking up scribbled pieces of paper and rearranging chairs. "It's too early." As clerk, she used to work until the early hours of the morning finishing the tabulation. But it wasn't too early for everyone else. The process seemed slow and sometimes nerve-wracking, but still the results were in just four and one-half hours after the polls closed -which doesn't seem too bad, today.

Little sighs of joy and relief could be heard from Election Central workers, who consisted of Journal employes, spouses and college students, when a Journal "runner" came in from the courthouse, because it meant more precincts were tabulated. Two staff members spent their Tuesday evening driving from the courthouse to the newspaper office bringing computer print-outs of the results. While the Journal workers scurried around, the crowds sat, sipped coffee and chatted about the possible outcome of various races, the recent Racer hockey games and movies they had seen. By this time the TV fans had watched their way up to "Switch." The crowd was fairly quiet, and the typical person talked quietly with the people around him and frowningly stared at the boards. Occasionally someone would smile slightly as certain results were posted, but basically sit was not a joyous crowd.

Party workers consoled candidates who lost. One Greenwood man who was defeated for precinct committeeman was told, "It is just like losing your first girlfriend you just start all over again." Occasionally bursts of applause would shatter the calm when results were posted or read, as in the case of Martha Loos who was elected Pleasant 4 precinct committeeman. She seemed to be quietly pleased, but her friends were ecstatic.

In recent weeks, a Carter organization took life in the county and conducted one meeting last week in an effort to boost their choice.

"Since the win in Pennsylvania and with Jackson and Hubert Humphrey dropping out we were sure of a big win Tuesday," said one long-time supporter. He added however, "Carter did even better in this county than we expected." Carter carried every precinct. His closest rival, Wallace, picked up 25 per cent of the vote in Pleasant precinct 11 (Davisson garage) but generally was less strong in other precincts. Among Republicans, Reagan won 28 of the 35 precincts leaving President Ford with victory margins in only six precincts. The Reagan-Ford vote in Blue River precinct two was a "dead heat," as both candidates got 63 votes.

One of Reagan's best showings came in Pleasant 10 (Northeast school) when he got nearly 70 per cent of the vote and defeated Ford 196 to 80. Ford got 65 per cent of the votes cast in Franklin 4, (Methodist Home) winning there by a count of 229 to 122. (Continued from front page) tor in Johnson county as the rest of the state. "We're sure some Democrats changed primaries Tuesday," said one major Reagan backer. "But regular Republicans have been backing Reagan for a long time, too." There were no.

available figures as to how many usually voting in the Democratic primary had elected to make the "switch." However, some of the county's 35 precincts reportedly ran short on their supply of Republican primary punch-cards. For several days before the election there were large numbers of Reagan campaign buttons visible on the clothing of a number of Republican party workers in Johnson county. However there was no formal endorsement by the party organization. On the Democrat side, Carter supporters expressed "some uncertainty" as recently as mid-April on the popularity of the candidate in Johnson county. An unofficial and random telephone poll by Daily Journal interns showed Wallace leading Carter back in April but with a ES TO COM AT NORTHWEST CORNER OF MADISON JACKSON ST.
