When the ballots cast for the 1958 Education-Welfare Bond Issue were counted, the issue had carri by a simple majority but failed to get the necessary majority of all those voting for members of the Gen Assembly. On a county basis, only three counties-Cook, DuPage, and Jackson-gave the issue a majo ' of the highest legislative vote. In 14 other counties, the measure received a simple majority; but in 18 cou ties, the vote was more than 2-1 against the bond issue. It should not be assumed that 85 counties vot against the measure without some consideration. Either the voters in these counties were not convinc of the merits of the bond issue or they were not sufficiently aware of the issues at stake.
