did Taylor. The County Com-
missioner has in recent months
been battling the federal gov-
ernment over nonpayment of
her income taxes as a Vietnam
War protest. These legal prob-
lems markedly hindered the
Taylor election effort.
During his current term Bul-
lard has drawn loud criticism
from other legislators and some
constituents for openly smok-
ing marijuana on the Diag at
the 1973 Ann Arbor Hash Bash.
This April, Bullard suffered
another barrage of disapproval
when a University student group
under his auspices sponsored
the on-campus showing of the
pornorgraphic m o v i e D e e p.
Throat.
The incident raised the re
not only of University officials,
but of many area feminists.
Last night's vote totals indi-
cate Bullard seems to nave
weathered those storms wirhout
much difficulty or perminent
damage.
"I have a visible record on
the basis of which people voted
for me," Bullard said at ris
headquarters. 'I work hard to
promote the concerns of my
constituents."
Bullard felt the voter turn-
out was lighter than he had ex-
pected and in part blamed uis-
interest in the electoral process
as a result of the Watergate
scandals.
Eckstein, who will face Re-
publican incumbent Gilbert
Bursley and Human Rights
Party candidate Lisa North in
the November elections, is a
liberal Democrat who favors de-
criminalization of marijuana,
a statewide graduated income
tax and increased educational
fending.
The other three contenders in
the primary - Cynthia Church-
ill, Harold Moon and. Gerald
Faye, are also liberal Demo-
crats who disagreed little with
Eckstein on the issues.
Campaign financing reform
was one of the major issues in
the race and all four contenders
claimed they relied heavily on
their own funds and accepted
no large personal donations.
Eckstein, who teaches eco-
nomics at Western Michigan
University, emphasized both his
activity in the Democratic par-
ty and experience in lobbying
at the state level.

AT HIS campaign headquarters last night, John Reuther commits himself to supporting progres-
sive representation for the district. He came in a close second to Dr. Ed Pierce.

Reuther. He supported uncondi-
tional amnesty and busing for
racial integration in schools.
As expected the doctor ran
very well in Ann Arbor-his
home turf-where he has served
as a City Councilman and has
been active in antiwar efforts
in addition to Democratic Party
politics.
Reuther drew support in out-
lying areas, particularly in
heavily industrial Livonia where
he trounced Pierce by a 3-1
margin.
The 30-year-old Reuther drew
some of his support because his
uncle was the late United Auto
Workers president Walter Reu-
ther. He has been a long time
Democratic Party worker and
organized George McGovern's
presidential drive in Massachu-
setts.
However Pierce, towards the
end of the campaign, began to
attack his opponent as a carpet
bagger. Reuther has lived in the
congressional district for only
18 months and has drawn much
of his financial support from
outside the state.
The mood at Pierce head-
quarters last night was one of
frantic jubilation at pulling-off
a victory that no one had an-

first heard the results.
"We're going to take a vaca-
tion for the next ten days but
then we have a hell of a lot of
work to do," Pierce told his
cheering backers.
Meanwhile, t h e Reuther
crowd which gathered in Ypsi-
yanti became more subdued as
the evening progressed. "It's
still a horse race," Reuther
said. "We have every confi-
dence we will make up the vote
difference."
But in a nearby room, his
mother cried quietly and the
crowd no, longer danced to the
rock and roll band.

the top two vote getters will ap-
pear on the November ballot,
LEADING THE PACK by a
very comfortable margin was
Burgoyne, who has been active
in seeking greater legal rights
for women and juveniles. She
outdistanced Alexander, who
will also be on the general elec-
tion slate, by some 2,200 votes.
With over half therpre-
cincts reporting totals are as
follows: Burgoyne 3,544; Alex-
ander 2,326; Glynn Barnett 1,-
228; Asst. City Attorney Bruce
Laidlaw 784; and James Sex-
smith 192.
Two years ago, Burgoyne nar-
rowly lost a Washtenaw County
Circuit Court judgeship by
about 70 votes.
As of press time thee State
Court of Appeals race among
eight contestants was too close
to call. The top four candidates
will appear on the November
ballot.
