The political bellowers defy scientific analysis. Until the frost cooled his ardor, the male katydid, a green 2-inch longhorned grasshopper, could be heard singing his monotonous ditty, \Katy did, Katy didn't.\ From the human viewpoint, the music seems a harsh way - it's a sound combining a frying and a clacking noise - to promote a romance. But a female katydid, wooed earlier this year, defended her lover with a shrill \tic the customary affirmative response. \I dig his sound,\ said Mrs. K. \Anyhow the voL.

In what turned out to be the closest battle of the day, incum- bent Orleans County Sheriff John. Williams edged out his Democratic - challenger, - John Capacci by 760 votes to win his sixth term of office with a vote of 7.682 to 6,922. Republican headquarters here of Yates, Republicans breathed easier and were able to break out the congratulatory senti- ments they had stored up since early evening. In the other county contest of major interest, Republican Mary Basinait walked away from her Democratic opponent, Gaines Supervisor Theodore Swierezn- ski, to secure her the job of county treasurer. She replaces Geraldine Barry who is retiring this year. Mrs. Basinait polled 8,666 votes to Swierceznski's 5,271. On the state level, Orleans na- tive William Knights, Jr. swung Congressman Henry P. Smith III, RN- Tonawanda, easily beat his Democratic challenger Max McCarthy by a margin of 3,896 to run his total to 9,046 to McCarthy's 5,150. Smith was re- elected in the newly reappor- tioned 36th District which in- cludes Orleans County. On the national level, Presi- dent Nixon won out over Demo- cratic hopeful George McGov- ern by a vote of 10,7832 to 4,268, And, again on the county level, Orleans District Attorney Hamil- ton Doherty, a Republican run- ning unopposed, posted a total lars had earlier conceded Ca- cacci would have to make a strong showing in the western end of the county-in Ridgeway Shelby and Yates if he hoped to pull off a victory over Williams. The returns weren't helping any, however.

There, the vote showed Williams was 201 to Capacei's 87 votes. It wasn't much better in Ridge- way 6, in the Ridge Road area where Williams led by over 100 votes. . .
