Kessler, 45, a gadfly on prisons and county schools, now works for Cecil Youth Care Inc.

Simmons, S3, a former policeman and Justice Department investigator, is a recent law school graduate who does research for attorneys. He was fired from the Justice Department two years ago after be allegedly indecently exposed himself to a secretary. Meconi, who will face incumbent Republican Rep. Robert S. Powell, of Hills of Skyline, said about 25 Percent of the Democrats voted a igh turnout that ensured his victory.

Meconi, a planning director for the state courts, carried about 66 percent of the vote. Powell, a four-term legislator, defeated Lynch in a close race two years ago. In four House primaries three Democratic and one Republican the winners are newcomers who will be challenging other non-incumbents in November. All but Donald E. Neil, who won the Republican primary in the 17th district, should fare well in November.

Neil defeated Annie B. King, 66, of Rosehill Gardens, a former social worker and active Republican who had her party's endorsement. Neil, 59, of Manor Park, a retired Air Force employee, now faces Rodney Dixon of Wilmington Manor, the Democratic choice in a heavily Democratic district. Incumbent Rep. John Matu-shefke, a Wilmington manor Democrat, is retiring.

Katharine M. Jester, a 52-year-old Middletown teacher and the unofficial choice of the local Democratic organization defeated Josef A. Burger, 45, a'Townsend farmer and member of the New Castle County Planning Board. Mrs. Jester said she would give up teaching if she wins in November.

Her profession became an issue in the campaign, which grew bitter as each side accused the other of dirty politics and mud-slinging. There are By BILL BOYLE SUA reporter With the IS General Assembly primaries yesterday lacking volatile issues, incumbents and party organizations generally rolled up easy victories with only one clear upset Political newcomer Vincent P. Meconi, 29, of Heritage Park, dealt the organization a blow in the 23rd Representative District of suburban New Castle County by defeating party regular John F. Lynch 39, a research assistant with the Du Pont Co. who lives in Brookhaven.

The other possible exceptions were in Wilmington, as usual, where Democratic City Chairman Leo T. Marshall's support of two candidates was in question. All results were unofficial last night but many came from highly reliable party sources. The winners in the only two state Senate primaries are odds-on favorites to win the general election. Sen.

Anthony J. Cicione defeated former Elsmere Mayor John Jaremchuk Jr. in a Democratic "grudge match" in the 11th Senatorial District. Cicione, 57, a former Republican and 14-year veteran of the General Assembly, had the support of the party organization. Jaremchuk did not mount a serious challenge.

Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2 to 1 in the district, giving Cicione a decided advantage over Republican challenger Angelo T. Citro of Rosemonl Jaremchuk, 34, chief pre-sentence officer for the Court of Common Pleas, decided to challenge Cicione himself only after he could not find another candidate. He criticized Cicione's record as a legislator but acknowledged that his discontent was also personal. Jaremchuk blamed Cicione for a series of News Journal articles last year that involved Jaremchuk and some of his friends. The articles dealt with the disappearance of school equipment.

A subsequent investigation by the attorney general turned up no wrongdoing. Cicione relied on voters' impression that the district would suffer without his influence in the Democratic-controlled Senate. The 6th Senatorial District in Brandywine Hundred seemed likely to send another moderate Republican to Dover with the victory of Myrna L. Bair in a three-way GOP race. Mrs.

Bair defeated Berlie Etzel, 49, of Holiday Hills, and Richard A. Struck, 43, of Beacon Hill, an unemployed school administrator. She won easily with about 65 percent of the vote. Etzel, a Cheyney State College mathematics professor who has been a GOP worker for 1 6 years, is a sel-described conservative. Struck, a civic leader, ran a campaign that lacked focus.

Mrs. Bair, 39. of Beacon Hill, will face Democrat Marie D. Rapposelli of Brandywine Hundred in November. The middle-class district is nearly 2 to 1 Republican in registration.

A chemist and part-time University of Delaware professor, Mrs. Bair is cut from the mold of retiring incumbent Sen. Daniel E. Weiss, a Northshire Republican. She is a for- nearly $4,000 in so-called "street money," which he said came from friends and supporters.

In the 15th district, which includes most of Elsmere, Cleland Heights, Middleboro Manor, Richardson Park, and a corner of Wilmington, AFL-CIO President John A. Campanelli, 62, of Cleland Heights won over Donald C. Byrd and James F. Walsh. Campanelli knows the General Assembly, having served as organized labor's chief lobbyist in Dover.

He had organization and heavy labor support. "I had the better team on the street" said Campanelli, who won by nearly 500 votes. Campanelli said he's not sure whether he 11 give up his union position. Byrd, 2 5, of Elsmere, a salesman, is the brother of former 15th district Rep. Robert Byrd, who now lobbies for the state Chamber of Com-' merce.

Walsh, 34, of Elsmere, is a former justice" of the peace and Elsmere town manager. He was the most conservative of the candidates, and came in last. Campanelli will replace Democratic Rep. David B. McBride, who is running unopposed for the Senate.

Nearly 40 percent of the Democrats" in the district voted, one of the heaviest turnouts in state legislative races. In the 21st district, incumbent Rep. Robert F. Gilligan, a 38-year-old educator, handily defeated George Krawczuk. Gilligan, of Sherwood Park, has strong organization ties, and won 95 percent of the vote.

He campaigned on his eight-year legislative record. Krawczuk, 47, of Faulkland Heights, is a laboratory technician. He doubted his own chances of ousting Gilligan. In the only Republican House primary, Sincock won renomination in the 11th district over challenger William T. Kelly, a union pipefitter, by a 3-to-l margin.

Kelly, 50, of Liftwood, waged an aggressive campaign against Sincock, chairman of the General Assembly's budget-making Joint Finance Committee and a critic of New Castle County School District management. He attacked Sin-cock's bid to sell the school district a $75,000 private consulting contract last year, and accused him of being an errand boy for Gov. Pierre S. du Pont IV. Sincock, 58, of Fairfax, however, stressed his cooperation with the du Pont administration and his work on state finances.

He is serving his fourth House term. Former House majority leader speaker Casimir S. Jonkiert easily defeated lawyer Paul S. Swierz-binksi in the 5th district. Jonkiert is a five-term representative whose power has steadily waned in recent years.

He had the support of the city Democratic machine but observers took Swierz- binski seriously, remembering that he nearly pulled an upset in four-way primary race for the 3rd district Senate seat in 1978. Jonkiert depended on his strength with elderly voters, meeting with Church and civic groups and knocking on doors. The ethnically diverse district is heavily Roman Catholic with a large Polish-American constituency. Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 6-to-l margin, making Jonkiert a strong favorite over Republican Helen C. Rapposelli in November.

Jonkiert, SI, of 403 Broom is an administrative assistant in the city's public works department He lost 80 pounds in the last year, giving rise to questions about his health. In addition, since the death of his wife last year, he seemed to have lost some of his fighting spirit. Four winners in Democratic House primaries now face the greater challenge of trying to unseat incumbents in November. Ciro Delle Donne won a narrow victory in the 4th Representative District over John M. Maiorano, 33, of 720 Douglas a Wilmington Housing Authority commissioner, and Omar Hassan, 33, of 1027 W.

Seventh a member of the American Muslim Mission. Delle Donne picked up unexpected support yesterday from Leo T. Marshall's Democratic organization. Marshall had led Maiorano to believe he would support him but different sample Democratic ballots were distributed yesterday some with Delle Donne's name and some with Maiorano's name. Delle Donne, 51, of 813 N.

Scott faces Republican Kevin W. Free, who is serving his first term. Delle Donne is a union machinist. "The district is a hodgepodge of neighborhoods and ethnic groups. In the city's 6th Representative District, lawyer John Elzufon relied on party backing to defeat Maryanne M.

Neville, who was a member of the Democratic National Convention Platform Committee. Elzufon; 33, of 2205 W. 9th faces a difficult task in trying to unseat popular incumbent Republican Rep. Thomas E. Brady.

Democrats have slight registration advantage in the district, but there are also nearly 2,000 independents and declines. Mrs. Neville, 42, a former union official, is a secretary in the New Castle County Finance Department. She lives at 1301 W. 13th St.

In a race that enthused few Democrats, Stowell V. Kessler defeated Stephen E. Simmons in the 24th district. Less than 5 percent of the Democrats voted. Party leaders expect Republican Rep.

William A. Oberle Jr. to win easily in November. Oberle has been in the forefront of issues of concern to the district, which is SWEAT. 'Now buying Acrotilt all vinyl windows is NO SWEAT with our direct factory-approved DOUBLE trade-in sale.

Mrs. Jester opposes William M. Marcus of Middletown in a bid to replace Rep. William A. Brady II, a Middletown Democrat, who is retiring.

John H. Zimath, parlayed 10 years of committee work and organization backing into victory over Carney L. Kinnamon, 26, an accountant and partner in an energy company. Zimath, 49, an Oak Run union carpenter, also had the support of incumbent House minority whip John P. Ferguson of Churchmans Road, who is retiring.

He will run against Republican Terry Spence of Stratford. Kinnamon, president of the Edge-brooke Civic Association, was not well known in the district but lost narrowly. In the only Kent County legislative primary, oilman W. Charles Paradee Jr. of Dover defeated Homer Rigby of Wyoming by a better than 2-to-l margin.

Paradee will face Republican Gerald A. Buckworth of Wyoming in November. Celia Cohen, Michael Jackson, Richard Sandza and Jane Brooks contributed to this story.

Five candidates are virtually Siaranteed election to. the state ouse of Representatives after winning primary races yesterday.

The four Democratic winners are running unopposed in November, and Rep. Richard Sincock, a Fairfax Republican, faces only a nominal challenge from a Libertarian candidate. In Wilmington, Rep. Al 0. Plant defeated Lillian J.

Oliver in the 2nd district, and Rep. Herman M. Hol-loway Jr. bested Benjamin E. Freeman and Edith M.

Starling in the 3rd district Holloway and Plant were behind each other's opponents, a feud between the state's only black representatives that escalated into bitter personal attacks. Plant had the support of the city organization. Marhsall said he backed Holloway, who thought otherwise. "We wiped out Leo and his damned machine," Holloway said. "I feel very good about the end result." Plant, 50, of 523 Eastlawn is a special assistant to Wilmington Mayor William T.

McLaughlin. He is serving his third term. Mrs. Oliver, of 710 E. 22nd has been instrumental in the fight against Wilmington Medical Center's planned relocation to the suburbs.

She said Plant has been a poor leader in a district suffering from a host of urban problems. Holloway, 36, of 609 S. Heald directs an anti-poverty agency that is the beneficiary of state grants. The son of the state's only black senator, Holloway is a freshman legislator. Freeman, who was Plant's candidate, is a former director of a rival anti-poverty agency, the South Wilmington Community Council.

A former Dover politician, Freeman said he could bring "harmony to the House, and would work for urban redevelopment. Mrs. Starling, 42, who owns a secretarial service, said she could provide quality leadership in the black community. Plant and Holloway were rewarding campaign workers last night. Plant discreetly handed out envelopes but Holloway was giving away 10 and 20 dollar bills to a long line of supporters at the Longshoreman's Hall last night.

Vote turnout tops '78 Yesterday's Delaware primary election attracted a greater turnout of Democratic voters than a hotly contested statewide race did two years ago. In 1978, when John M.

Willard lost a bid to upset incumbent Attorney General Richard R. Wier Jr. in a race that generated a lot of publicity, about 18,000 Democrats cast ballots. Yesterday, when the only statewide race was a lopsided contest for state auditor, more than that number voted in that race. And in many districts, more Democrats voted for bitterly fought local contests than did for the auditor.

Delaware has an estimated 125,000 registered Democrats. The turnout on the Republican side was unavailable last night because of the absence of a statewide race.
