On District Court Bench

Durham's Two Men Doubled Up To Beat Roxboro's Lady
, By Isaiah Singletary -District
, Court Judge?
Karen : ; Galloway,;;
fighting off charges that
she is too lenient and too ,
much of i a . social ad
vocate, plus hints that
she shows . favoritism to
black defendants, won a
four-year term on the
district court bench in
Tuesday's primary elec
tion. Judge Galloway is
one of only two black ,
judges in Durham. ;
; Judge Galloway, who
was appointed to the
Durham district court
bench by Gov. Jim Hunt
about a year and a half
ago, polled 13,910 votes.
Her opponent,, Richard
"Dick" Chaney, was the
former . Chief Assistant
District Attorney under
Dan K. Edwards. All
figures are unofficial.
It was a tough fight. ,
Chaney, who is white,
centered his campaign
around second guessing
the judge's motives and ;
her ability to fairly inter- j
pret the law, led the race
for about 60 per cent of i
the way. . j
As a matter of fact,
Ms. Galloway's victory
wasn't sure until the last ;
precinct reported. k
For example, with

was among those passed challenge,

Galloway to the district
court i bench. Chaney
since made an issue of :
the fact that : Ms. ;
Galloway v ; was ; "ftp-)

The people, he said,

Chaney, the former ,
assistant - district c at-
' torney, said he decided ;
to run for the jdugeship '.
in 1981. He had been an
assistant district attorney
since April 1978.
Although the code of
judicial conduct , pro
hibits candidates for
district court judge from
discussing political or
legal issues, Chaney,
took pot shots at Ms.
Galloway with his cam
paign literature.
He said, for instance,
that he believed the role
of a judge demands that
the judge be impartial
and not an advocate.
This was an obvious
reference to the fact that
nine precincts reporting, i . Judge Galloway was in-
Chaney led 5,056 to volved in the successful
is a program
? ' i probation
which pro
vides that individuals -
; placed on probation
- must have a high school
diploma or a GED."
The goal of the pro-i-gram,
according' to Ms.
Galloway, is to help both
. the individual parolee
: and the i community
become' more K- produc-tive.-
" ' ' .
. The way this is ac--'
complished is by helping)
place the parolee in a j
better position to make'
the required restitution. .
If the individual doesn't
have a job, the victim
still doesn't get paid
back. "Having a GED or ,
an diploma," Ms.
Galtoway asserted,
"puts the person in a
better position to be able
to pay back what he
owes."
Ms. Galloway says
that her mere presence
on the bench has been an
improvement in the
judicial system. "There
is now broader represen
tation in .the system,"
she says, "and broader
representation makes the
system more sensitive to
the needs of the community."
In recognition of his outstanding scholastic
record, Keith A. Broussard, a senior at Bishop
O'Dowd High School in Oakland, California was
the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship awarded an
nually by the F.W. Wool worth Company through
the . National Achievement Scholarship Program.
The presentation was made by Robert M. Johnson,
regional manager for, Woolworth stores in the com
pany's Pacific Region, headquartered in Burl
ingame, Calif. Son of California State Supreme
Court Justice and Mrs. Allen A. Broussard, Keith
plans to major in electrical engineering and com
puter sciences at the University of California
Berkeley in the fall.

vv- . ...... - f,.
reporting, Chaney's lead
was 8,146 to 7,961.
But then the results of
Judge Galloway's elec
tion day strategy began
paying off. According to
one of her campaign
workers, rhe Galloway
team targeted six
predominantly white
precintts to work on
election day. She won
none of those precincts,
but, according to the
campaign worker, Judge
Galloway got about
1,400 votes from those
areas.
"The results," Ms. (
Galloway said following
the final tally, "indicate
that the voters don't
think, j'm too, lenient or,,,
that I'm too much of an,
advocate' -
Chaney, who had rais
ed those charges, was
unavailable for comment
defense of Joanne Little,
a young black woman
who faced murder
charges in the ice pick
stabbing death of
Beaufort County jailer,
Clarence Alligood.
Implicit in that
reference is the fact that
he believes Ms. Galloway
has injected her personal
feelings into her court
decisions. Chaney also
charged that she was too
lenient with law
breakers.
Ms. Galloway,
however, said otherwise!
She said the constitu
tional rights of all must
be protected, both the
victim and the criminal.
She': believes ' also that
Blacks Couldn't Save District
Attorney's Office For Edwards
By Isaiah Singletary
Though they tried
valiantly, following the
instructions of the
Durham Committee on
the Affairs of Black Peo
ple, Durham's black
voters failed to save Dan
Edwards' district at
torney's seat.
Edwards lost in Tues
day's primary elections,
falling by about 1,000
votes to challenger
Ronald Stephens, a
former assistant district
relinquished the front
runners spot.
For example, the
results of the first 19
precincts showed
Stephens ahead by 5,051
to 3,665. After 29
precincts were totalled it
was still Stephens, 8,25 1 ,
Edwards, 7,230. The
final tally was 13,288 to
12,322, Stephens.
Stephens said follow
ing his victory that a
combination of issues
had focused attention on

Edwards contended
that since he's had the

.- One thing is very clear
! about Tuesday's , state ,
senate race If incumbent '
! Senators . ; XC, Kenneth
: Royall, Jr., and William .
Gerry Hancock had not
run a joint campaign,
I Hancock probably
t would be facing a runoff
i election against Mrs.
Rosalie P. Gates'.
.; With Royall getting
the most votes Jn 36 of
" the 44 precincts Han
cock in six and Mrs.
Gates in two it is ap
parent that many of
Hancock's voters were
Royall , ; supporters.
Royall got 18,544 votes,
Hancock,, 16,731 and
Gates, 8,404.
a Hancock said Tuesday
night that he thought the
joint campaign helped
but he felt that he would
have run strong anyway.
Many of Mrs. Gates'
supporters feel different
ly, however. One of
them said Tuesday pight,
as the voting trend
developed, that Hancock
and Royall had "teamed
up to keep Mrs. Gates
out of the Senate." '
"Their's was an unho
ly alliance of two men
against one woman,"
said one supporter, "and
I think it was unfair."
With the win, the
district's ' two senate
members remain
Durham residents. The
district includes
Durham, Granville and'
Person counties and
three townships in
Orange County.
To many who follow
state senate . politics,
Royall is an influential
! senator with many sup- '
."porters. The issue then
was not that Mrs. Gates
posed a threat td
. RoyalPs candidacy, but
' instead the lady from
Person County - could
force Hancock into a
runoff which may have
been a dogfight for him
to keep the seat and to
keep the district's
representatives coming
from Durham.
That's more apparent
with a look at the can
didates' views. Hancock -and
ROyall agree on
most issues. On the other
hand, Mrs. Gates differs
more, which in the eyes
: of many observers,
would weaken' the
overall strength and ef
fectiveness of -4jie
district. .
Running mostly on
their records, Hancock
and Royall received the
backing of many- groups
and individuals, in
cluding the Durham
Committee on the Af
fairs of Black People.
Mrs. Gates received the
endorsement of the NX.
Association . of
Educators, '
To . many observers, '
the joint campaign of
Senators Kenneth C
Royall, Jr., and William
Gerry Hancock, Jr.,
meant Jwo things: the in-;
cumbents think- the
challenger had a good,
chance of taking one of
the seats and the only
way to beat the odds was
to double-team.
That observation may
well have been true. Ir
seems by the election,
returns that the one-two
punch of Royall
H an cock was too much
of a blow for Mrs.
Gates, the woman
educator who challenged
the two male in
cumbents. ,

Because the Due-ham
Committee endorsed Ed-,
wards during its Sunday
night meeting, despite a
strong protest from a
group of black lawyers,
black voters gave Ed
wards more than 4,500'
votes, about 30 per cent
of his total. By com-'
parison; Stephens pulled
only about 1 ,000 votes in
the city's ten
predominantly black
precincts.
it is not clear exactly
why Edwards lost, or
why Stephens won. Ed
wards was unavailable
for comment. But fhe
one thing that is very
clear is that white voters
beat Edwards.
For example, in
Precinct 4, West
Durham Community
Center, Stephens picked
up S28 votes while Ed
wards managed only 223
votes. And in Precinct
25, a county precinct at
Northern High School,
Stephens led Edwards in
the balloting by 574 to
224. In these two
precincts, there are fewer
than 100 black voters.
As a matter of fact
Stephens, led the incum
bent from ihe time, the

Stephens stated fur
ther that he'd picked up
support in places that he
didn't think he would.
"At the Hillside School
precinct, for instance,"
he said, "we picked up
20 per cent of the vole
even without the en
dorsement of the com
mittee." Incumbent Dan Ed
wards dropped by the
