Dear Mr. Matheson:
Your letter of May 12. asks sev
eral questions regarding my atti
tude toward legislation backed by
your organization?it is my desire
to answer your questions as hon
estly as I know how?however, if
you ever had -experience with the
courts and with the making of
laws in our General Assembly,
you know that one must be very
careful to state exactly his true
meaning so that what he proposes
will not b? misunderstood. Your
questions are not "full and frank",
but I shall attempt to answer
them.
Your question No. l states: "If
elected will you actively support
with your influence and vote a
state wide liquor referendum?"
I am in favor of the citizens of
our state having the right to ex
press themselves at the polls
However, I pledge you this?that
I shall tak-e no action in the Gen
eral Assembly that may threaten
to bring the legal sale of alcoholic
beverages to Cherokee County
against the expressed will of our
people.
Your question No. 2 states: "If
elected will you actively support
with your influence and vote the
tbolition of the so-called "gag
rule?"
I wish that your question were
more specific, but I Imagine that
you have reference to two rules
now incorporated in the rules of
the House of Representatives of
North Carolina, Rule No. 57. re
quiring a two-thirds vote to with
draw a bill from a committee, and
rule No. 71 requiring a two-third
vote to adopt a minority report.
In our General Assembly, the
rules in question -appear to strike
a blow to our fundamental setup?
with us they can serve as self
imposed unauthorized legislative
veto of constitutional majority and
Democratic Rule. Their adoption
and retention circumvent the paw

Dear Mr. Matheson:
Thank you for your letter or
May 13th. I appreciate the oppor
tunity of telling the people how 1
stand on the issues.
I '.".ill support with all my en
ergy and influence and will vote
for a statewide liquor referen
dum
I will support to the utmost ol
my ability and vote for abolition
of "Gag-Rule".
T will fight AGAINST the
granting of special privileges ol
any nature whatst>ever to any
group, individual, minority group
or municipality.
1 am wholeheartedly against
legalized gambling or any other
gambling whatsoever.
Respectfully yours,
CLAUDE DEYTON
er of the General Assembly pre
scribed by the constitution, deny
rights of chosen representatives
elected thereunder and citizens
effected by proposals stymied
therebj.
I see no place for the rules in
legislative processes under our
constitution, but do see a contin
ual issue thereon until abolished.
This I would vote to do at the
first opportunity.
Your question No. 3 states:
"What will be your position to
ward granting special privileges,
such as voting privileges to mu
nlcipalitics and minority groups,
denied to county and state?"
No legislator or prospective le
gislator v. ould attempt to answer
such a vague and clouded ques
tion, just how a municipality or a
minority group would have a vot
ing privilege not permitted in a
county ana state, I do not under
stand.
Your question No. 4 states:
' What will be your attitude to
ward legalized gambling in the
state?"
There is an old quotation to
the ef'ect that "man proposes but
God disposes"?therefore. I can
not say what my attitude toward
anything will be at some distant
date in the future. Today, gambl
ing is illegal in North Carolina?
I support the law?I am against
gambling.
Mr. Matheson. you stated, ir
your letter, that "in fairness to al
concerned my answers to youi
questionaire would be published
in the secular press of our county
I must ask that you print my en
tire letter or nothing.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard P. Mauney

Furniture Fashions
If you have a porch, terrace, garden or just a plain old-fashioned
backyard, with a little planning ar.d a few pieces of the new summer
furniture, you can have an outdoor living room that's both colorful and
inviting. The variety of designs in wood, rattan, metal and wicker has
never been greater. Wood furniture is now treated to be moisture and
insect repellant, and brilliantly colored upholstery fabrics for pads and
cushions have been designed to take a beating from the weather. Sum
mer furniture is available in matching combinations of chairs, tables,
setees, serving carts, etc. Porch, garden and recreation room furniture
is keeping pace with all the other design advancements within the in
