SIX ADAMS. MASSACHUSETTS. TRANSCRIPT WEDNESDAY AFitRNOQN. NOVfcMSEft S. City Misses Ike Democrats Just Carry City; Adlai by 98, Dever by Only 8 Bandwagon--Conte, Sala, Ruether Easy Winners.

North Adams 'missed by an eyelash yesterday joining in the victory that will send Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower to the White House and Rep. Christian A. Herter to the State House in January.

Stevenson by 98 In the largest vote ever pqjled in this city, local voters gave Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson. Democratic' candidate for the presidency, a narrow margin of 98 votes and trimmed Gov. Paul A.

Deyer's plurality here to a mere eight, votes. The record-breaking, vote did. however, result in local victories for all but two Democratic candidates with only Rep. John W. Heselton and State Senator Silvio O.

Conte, both standing for reelection, breaking through, the Democratic wall. Besides splintering what otherwise would have been a solid Democratic victory in North Adams. Rep. Heselton and Senator Conte. in that order, received the most votes of any individual candidate on the ballot with the congressman getting 7.051 and the senator 6,953.

Close on their heels was Assessor James P. Carlow, Democratic candidate in a three way battle for register of deeds in Northern Berkshire and the 6.003 votes he received here pulled him to a narrow 33-vote victory in the district. 11,142 Vote Exactly 11.142 voters cast ballots here yesterday to outdistance the previous high mark of 11.072 set in the 1940 presidential election. The turnout yesterday represented 92 per cent of the eligible voters in North Adams. Ward 12.

which has increased considerably in registration since the veterans' housing project opened, recorded the highest vote with 1.064 voters out of a possible! 1.129 visiting the polls yesterday lor a 94.2 per cent figure. The second highest vote was cast in Ward 7 where 1,056 voters appeared at the polls out of a registration of 1.135, for 93 per cent. Percentagewise, however, the bridge and Councilman George A. Purnell of Pittsfield. Atty.

John A. Barry, Demo crat, of Pittsfield, made a strong showing here against Atty. Nel son A. Foot, Pittsfield Republi can for clerk of court carrying the city by 1,790 Votes. A Berkshire county favojrite son candidate, although failing to carry the city, lost-by only 28 votes to his Democratic opposition.

He was Bruce Crane of Dalton, G.O.P. nominee for governor's council, running against Daniel B. Buckley of Willimansett. Other Contests In the quest for constitutional offices. Democratic candidates as usual, did pretty well here with Auditor Thomas J.

Buckley se'ek- ing re-election leading David Mint? the Republican standard bearer, by 2,226. Lieut. Gov. Charles Jeff Sullivan ran ahead of his G.O.P. contender.

Sen. Sumner Whittier. who was regarded by some as the Republican most likely to break into the Democratic front, by 834. Secretary or State Edward J. Cronin pulled a sizeable vote to carry the city by 1,634 over Mrs.

Beatrice Hancock Mullaney. Atty. Gen. Francis E. Kelly will proudly recall Nov.

4, 1952, as far as North Adams is concerned, for this is one of the lew cities he carried in his fight for re-election. He led Ceoige A. Fingold here by 722. In the contest that attracted unusual interest throughout the state, State Treasurer Foster J. Furcolo came out ahead locally by 1.216 over Roy A.

Papalia for treasurer. Furcolo already has been mentioned as a prospective candidate to wrest the governorship away from Herter two years hence. The fact That Furcolo and and Papalia both are of Italian extraction heightened the interest in this contest. Finally the city to the surprise of no one. voted to keep alcoholic beverage licenses for at least two more years.

Despite the record breaking vote, the counting of ballots in Adams was accomplished in comparatively fast order and the first ward was reported at top honor went to Ward 4. where city hall at 10.4r o'clock. It was 8S9 men and women, or a 6. Ward 11 was in with its cent of the voters asked for bal- report at 10.55 o'clock. The last lots.

Seasoned political observers seem to feel that the unusually high percentage of eligible voters who cast ballots yesterday probably set a new record for a city or large town. Big: Change Here Although failing to get on the Eisenhower Herter bandwagon, the fact that the two candidates for the top spots on the ballot trailed by such small margins in a normally Democratic city indi- ward was Ward 7 which had it 5 returns in at 12.20 o'clock.

it was recalled that at that time his margin here reached 2,578. Rep. Heselton's victory hprp was generally anticipated and there was no surprise when the final count showed his plurality at 3,380 over William H. Burns of Holyoke.

Third man was Valmore A. Paquette of Adams, a former local resident, entered as an independc candidate. In the strictly North Adams battle for representative in the general court to replace Rep. Joseph -N. Roach who is retiring after 30 years of service, North Adams voters expressed a strong fondness for keeping a Democrat in that office, giving Atty.

Roger A. -Sala a 1,527 vote lead over his Republican opponent, Mrs. Kathryn Lyons Gallup. This battle started out to be a nip-and-tuck affair in the early returns, but as the normally Democratic wards started to report, Atty. Sala was able to pull away to a safe lead.

Barre. R.e- publican, was re-elected to tho a legislature with 181 votes. His Democratic opponent, -Mrs. State Senator Silvio O. Conte, Republican, of Pittsfield, ran roughshod yesterday through the 24 cities and towns of the Berk senatorial district, trampling James P.

McAndrews of Adams into the electoral dust and win ning re-election by a whopping margin of 26,100 votes. Historic Triumph The Shire city solon's triumph was historic, for his crushing plurality was five times greater than ever had been achieved by any victor in this senatorial district, and his total of 42,589 votes never had been approached pre viously. The V.ighest previous margin for a winner was the vote edge by which the late Th dore R. Plunkett of Adams feated Martin Loftus of Pittsfield in 1934, and Senator Conte's own 26,678 votes in 1950 was the biggest total until now. But Senator Conte's victory may have been more than a triumph at the polls.

Political observers throughout the state had insisted early in the campaign ihat Gov. Paul A. Dever, believing Mr. McAndrews would be a formidable candidate, had persuaded he Adams man to oppose the Pittsfield Republican, partly in he hope of recapturing this district's senatorial seat for the Democrats and partly to punish Senator Conte for having public- alleged tha.t the governor had offered him a superior court judgeship. Wins by Avalanche That the Conte victory was of avalanche proportions was obvious from an inspection of the own-by-town results, for nowhere in the district was he seriously challenged by his opponent.

Mr. McAndrews. himself a former state senator and represen- ative, even suffered the humilia- ion of being repudiated in his own home town, for Adams gave Conte a margin over its former In North where Sena- or Conte began law practice hree years ago, he polled 6,953 votes to lead McAndrews by 3,024, and he snowed his opponent under in Pittsfleld, 19,993 to The. 31-year-old Pittsfield legis lator's political rise has been meteoric. After being graduated from Pittsfield high school in 1940, he was employed successive in the mechanical department of the Berkshire Eagle and at the General Electric company until June, 1942, when he enlisted in the Seabees.

He served in the Southwest Pacific until October, 1944, when he was discharged with a service-incurred disability. Lawyer Since '49 He then entered Boston college, completing his liberal arts course in 1947 and his law course in 1949. Admitted to the bar in September, 1949, he began practice here in the office of Atty. John N. Alberti.

He jumped into politics the following year, and his first venture was an immediate success, as he ousted Michael H. Condron of Pittsfield to win election to his first term in the senate.
