Preyer, Moore, Scott And
Blue Principals In Run
Off Election Saturday
All Four Candidates
Have Large Follow
ing; Polls Open 6:30
A. M. to 6:30 P. M.
Chowan County voters, togeth
er with the remainder of North
Carolina, will go to the polls
Saturday, June 27, to eleot a
Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor for North Carolina.
The two candidates in the sec
ond primary for Governor are
Richardson Preyer of Greensboro,
who led the ticket in .the May
30 primary election, and Dan
Moore of Canton, who came in
second in the race. A third can
didate in the first primary elec- j
tion, Dr. I. Beverly Lake, was
not so far behind the two lead-!
ers, so that both Preyer and
Moore have been angling for
Lake votes in order to win the
election.
The campaign to win votes for
the Governorship has been very
heated and expensive, with both
candidates having a corps of
workers in all parts of the state
and both candidates working
feverishly to meet as many vot
ers personally as possible and
I making numerous speeches in
their travels from one end of
the state to the other. Bach
candidate predicts he will be
the next Governor.
Little less exciting is the con
test for Lieutenant Governor.
The two candidates are H. Clif
ton Blue of Aberdeen and Rob
ert Scott of Haw River. Mr.
Scott led the ticket by a large
majority in. the first primary, but
lacked enough votes to prevent
a second primary. Mr. Blue ser
ved as speaker of the House of
Representatives. Each of these
candidates also feel certain they
will win in the second primary
election.

Governor Terry Sanford congratulates Inglis Fletcher after East Carolina College named a new
seven-story women’s residence hall for her during the college's 55th commencement exercises
Sunday, June 14. Mrs. Fletcher, author of 12 novels about early North Carolina and its people, was
present at the commencement program when the naming of Inglis Fletcher Hall was announced.
Governor Sanford, also in attendance at the program, praised the choice of Mrs. Fletcher as the
new building's honoree, saying the theme of her 12 books in the "Carolina Series" is fundamentally
the same as the principle dramatized by East Carolina College: That the real source of strength
of Eastern North Carolina is inherent in the land itself and its people.—ECC News Bureau Photo.
