In ttie other council race, Barbara McDonald handily beat op-ponent Chester Edwards. First Ward Councilman Al Tacker, running unopposed, was returned to his seat. In the Second Ward race, Mosby received 571 write- i- n votes to Rose Wise's 524 votes. Paul Albert got 130 votes, and Jim Logadon finished last with 91. The turnout of 1,318 voters in the Second Ward significantly exceeded Write- i- n victory may be a first in council history the 869 who turned out a year ago. Mosby's victory marks the first time in the past 20 years that a coun-cil write- i- n candidate has mounted a successful campaign. City clerk re-cords date back only to 1965. Mosby was appointed to the coun-cil in 1977 to replace David Linds- tro- m and later that year was elected to a full term. In 1979 he did not run for re- electi- on because of time con-straints. When Duane Lammers re-signed from the council in Decem-ber, the council appointed Mosby over Wise by a 4-- 3 vote. In the Fifth Ward, McDonald won 445 votes to Edwards' 375. While ballots were being counted Tuesday night, campaign workers for Wise charged that precinct cap-tains at Parkade Elementary School, Precinct 2A, had used Mosby literature to instruct voters on write- i- n procedure.

Maupin collected 4,722 votes, or 30.35 percent Don Howard, director of the How-ard Family Institute, finished third. He collected 3,928 votes, which amounted to 25.25 percent of vote. Gary Hughes, vying for. a board seat for the second time, drew 1,229 votes, or 7.9 percent " I'm happy," Oglesby said. " You do a lot of work and you're never sure how it will turn out. I was con-cerned." Oglesby, 42, has served on the board since he was appointed in Sep-tember 1974 to complete a term va-cated by Eugene Windmiller. In 1980, Oglesby served as the board's president Oglesby campaigned on his experi-ence in education, administration and policy- makin- g.

Group W omitted franchise tax By Margaret DeRosby Missourian stafl writer Group W Cable Inc., including its office in Columbia, has been doing business illegally in Missouri since No-vember 198? by failing to pay a state franchise tax, the secretary of state's office confirmed Tuesday. The corporation has forfeited its contract to do busi-ness and by continuing daily transactions is operating in violation of a criminal statute, a spokesman for the office said. Boone County Assistant Prosecutor Robert L. Fleming said he was not aware of the forfeiture but doubted he would file misdemeanor charges against the company. " I don't think anybody's going to be running them out on a rail because of this," he said. According to the state revenue director's office, a fran-chise tax is actually an excise tax for the privilege of doing business m Missouri. The amount assessed de-pends on the corporation's total assets for the year. Group W's debt to the state is confidential information but Katie Whitener, corporations secretary for the secre-tary of state's office, said the company easily can be re-instated. " They've probably just made an accounting error," Whitener said. " We've had plenty of people m here who don't realize they've been forfeited. All they have to do is pay the tax and go through the reinstatement process. The status then becomes retroactive. We'll just forget what they've done. " Andrew Moore, general manager for Group W in Co-lumbia, could not be reached for comment.

A record black vote was reported, with some districts in city repotting the black turnout was 100 percent larger than in 1980 accord-ing to ABC. With 96 percent of the districts re-porting, Mondale had 600,826 votes or 45 percent; Hart had 363,384 or 27 percent, and Jackson bad 340,710 or 25 percent Mondale scored well in the battle for New York's 252 delegates. He was winning 133 compared with Hart's 72 and Jackson's 47. That would give Mondale 864 of the 1,967 needed for the nomination, while Hart has 514 and Jackson 147, with 322 uncommitted. Wisconsin also held a primary Tuesday, but no delegates were at stake in the beauty contest in which ft both Democrats and Republicans could vote. Early results showed Hart and Mondale in a close race. Wisconsin delegates begin picking delegates at caucuses this weekend. Flying to Philadelphia, Hart told reporters that as a result of New York he will stop responding to Mon-dale's charges. He said the New York vote may not mean much and added that the California primary in June will decide the nomination. Of Mondale's charges, Hart said: " I responded to all of them. I set the record straight and I'm not going to do it anymore." An obviously pleased Jackson said: " We have run a successful campaign. People did indeed re- spond" Mondale scored biggest among Jewish and union voters who are two of the biggest components of the New York vote. But he also scored well in the rural areas of the state and was doing well in the suburbs, which is normally Hart territory. Mondale said Hart was hurt by his own television advertising campaign in New York which accused the for-mer vice president of risking Ameri-can lives by wanting to keep troops in Central America. " I think the intent to make me a warmonger kicked back," Mondale id. " People dont believe that. It's ci not true. 1 believe it did not help my opponent" Looking ahead, Mondale said he and Hart were dead even in Pennsyl-vania. He said he would go into the state continuing " exactly what I've done concentrate on the question of who would be the best president" ABC said Mondale was taking the Jewish vote 55 percent to 38 percent over Hart and the labor vote 42 per-cent to 24 percent Jackson was get-ting 31 percent of the labor vote, but only 2 percent of the Jewish vote. Hart spent $ 1 million in an adver-tising campaign to get his message across to New York voters.
