About 700,000 Mississippians ex pected to cast ballots on long lists of state, county and district hopefuls in various other primary elections. Lt. Gov. Evelyn Gandy, trying to become the state’s first woman gov ernor, is the acknowledged front runner among Democrats. Three of the five men — John Arthur Eaves, former Lt. Gov. William Winter and Jim Herring — are rated a tossup to get into an Aug. 28 runoff berth with her. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 6 p.m. CDT. Two wealthy Republicans — Gil Carmichael of Meridian and Leon Bramlett of Clarksdale — are fea tured in the GOP governor’s contest. Gov. Cliff Finch is prohibited by law from succeeding himself. The campaign has been largely centered on personalaities, with few issues in discussion. Gandy has been in Mississippi politics since the late 1940s, and has emphasized her experience in gov ernment. She is a former legislator, an ex- aide to Theodore Bilbo, and has served as commissioner of public welfare, assistant attorney general, state treasurer and insurance com missioner. Eaves, a Jackson attorney and former legislator, was expected to grab rural votes with his campaign pledges to return prayer to the schools and his use of a gospel music band at his campaign stops. .1 ' itj- ALVAREZ guitars reflect the tone, touch, and craftsman ship you would expect in much more expensive guitars.
