Carter warned Democrats
that Watergate is not the
major issue in the campaign.
"Watergate vmay be a
sleeper issue in the campaign.
The nation has been deeply
wounded, but people don't
want to talk about it. I tell
Democratic candidates that if
they base their . entire

A survey recently conducted

coming, election has shown
some interesting results.
According to the survey, many
people here, both black and
white, say that. none of the
candidates is discussing the
issue that affects their
everyday lives. Over 49
percent of those surveyed say
that they will not vote at all.
Reason: There is not too much
to choose from.

' "I only hear about them
(politicians) during election
time. And they do not even
come out in the open to
campaign in the black
community. None of them will
get my vote."
A white salesman said, "I
am scared to vote for any of
them. Most of the time, you'
jdon't even know whom you
are votng for."
A black factory worker put it
this way: "Republicans and
the Democrats look as if they
are - going - together.- I-am-a^
Democrat and I know that a
poor man don't have a
chance."

A black woman said that the
mayor has done a lot for all the
people of Winston-Salem.
"He is the first mayor," she
said, "who has beautified the
whole city."
"They say that the other
candidate for mayor is all
right, ' too," said a black
salesman. "If I am not a ''
Democrat, 1 will probably vote
for him. But now I may change
my mind before the election
