NIXON WINS FOUR MORE YEARS
President Richard M. Nixon
won a landslide victory re-elec
tion by carrying 49 states out
of the 50. Only Massachus
setts and the District of Colum
bia withstood the Nixon tide
in Tuesday's election. His
re-election this year may well
be one of history's greatest
landslides when the total count
is in.
There will, however, stilJ be
the proverbial guessing as to the
impact of his great win from
a considered "personal vic
tory" to a "crossover or split"
tickets. Nevertheless, Nixon
has won his four more years
and he won it with an ava
lanche of votes from the A
merican people.
Nixon told the nation in his
hour of triumph that "we are
on the eve of what oulcbe the
greatest generation of peace
true peace—mankind has ever
known. Further, the electon
is over and it is time to get on
with the great tasks which lie
before us. "
McGovern acknowledges his
loss in Siox Falls, South Da
kota and sent his congratula
tions to Nixon in a 44 word
telegram conceding victory to
Nixon.
Congress itself did not ap
pear to benefit from the Nixon
tide. The Democrats picked
up two seats to apparently wi
den in hie Senate their control
from 57 to 43 as well as one
governorship when Daniel Wal
ker of Illinois won over in
cumbent Richard Ogilvie.
There were many other sur
prises as the election totals
came in. Chief among them
were the defeat of Colorado
three timer Allot and the
defeat of veteran Congresswo
man Margaret Chase Smith.
From early reports, Mrs.
Yvonne Braithwaite Burke of
California and Miss Barbara
Jordan of Texas will join Mrs.
Shirley Chisholm in Washington.
Other prelMnary reports say
that the blacks in congress
have jumped from 13 to 16
and there may be even more.

Barnes Attributes
Not Playing Down
Alexander Barnes, who went
down to defeat in his bid to
represent the 13th Senatorial
District in the N.C. General
Assembly, Tuesday, attributes
his defeat to his failure to play
down his work in the NAACP,
cost him the white vote, he
usually gets.
He feels that the pending
suit, brought by black Durham
plaintiffs, dulled the interest of
many white votes, who might
have voted a straight Repub
lcian ticket. The results, accord
to Barnes, showed that
many of them crossed over and
voted for his two white op
ponents.
He was loud in his praise
for the Committee on Negro
Affairs and styled its support
as one of the boldest gestures
made for black political unity.
He also says that it shows the
strength of the black vote and
should make the bid for it, by
both major parties, more dig
nified.
Another enterprising politi
cal move, on the part of Con
cerned Citizens, headed by
James T. Hawkins, with Re
publican flavor, that put out a
slate, earring Nick Galifianakis
and black Democrats, along
with Holsliouser, Grace Rohrer
Frederick Weber, Jack Hawke,
Douglass Biddy, Pat Neal and
Alexander Barnes was acclaimed
as a unity move, by an official
of the Committee on Negro
Affairs.
It is to be remembered that
Holshouser came to Durham
Sunday in an unprecedented
move and spearheaded a fund
service.
Dr. O. L. Sherrill, Execu
tive Secretary, General Baptist
Convention of North Carolina,

Speaker Sees
Eventual Union
Of Island Nations
DURHAM - Sir Rupert G. John,
Governor of the volcanic West
Indian aland of St. Vincent,
told students at North Carolina
Central University Monday, No
vember 6, that he envisions an
eventual union of the islands of
the Caribbean and the West
Indies.
"It may be a hundred years.
' It may be five hundred years,"
the black native of St. Vincent
said. "But there is no reason it
should not happen."
The speaker told the stu
dents at the predominantly
black university that there is a
special relationship between
black Americans and black West
Indians. "Our people have
known slavery and the planta
tion system. And who krows
but that there may have been
a brother sent to North Caro
lina and a brother sent to St.
Vincent. We can only conjec
ture."
He told the group that the
West Indian Islands are unable
to stand alone economically
because of the vestiges of sla
very, the plantation system, and
colonialian. He said Great
Britain,, which still manages the
external affairs of his island
could not "fob off the West
Indies after having "squeezed
the last drop of blood from us"
under the colonial system.
