The straw balloting came just four days prior to next Tuesdays general election and should have been encour. aging to GOP aspirants. Claire Bailey, faculty mem. ber who supervised the mock election, said over the years at Box Elder Junior High, the results have been a true forecast of things to come in the general balloting.
