Jackson's effect H
By JOHN SLADE
Chronicle Assistant Editor
Local winners in Tuesday's primary expressed joy at I
their triumphs, and supporters of winners seemed even
more overjoyed, especially the backers of the Rev. Jesse
Jackson's presidential bid.
In fact, precinct officials and Jackson supporters attributed
the county's large black voter turnout to
Jackson.

of the more than 650 people who turned out to W * .
vote there. But the news that spread quicker than wildfire f
was the fact that voter turnout at the Carver School
precinct was so great that additional voting booths had to
be hauled in and double lines prompted some potential ^
voters to leave and return later. /m
If the polls were the places to be until they closed at
7:30 p.m., the Jesse Jackson campaign headquarters on
Fourth Street was the hot spot afterwards.

Forsyth C
By ROBIN ADAMS
Chronicle Staff Writer
When Jesse Jackson asked a Benton
Convention Center audience April 18 not
to let him down,-they obviously listened,
handing him a win in Forsyth County's
Democratic primary two weeks later.
Or as Alderman Larry Little, Jackson's
Forsyth County campaign coordinator,
phrased it Tuesday night, "Forsyth County
is Jesse Jackson Country."
Still, Jackson could only muster a
third-place finish statewide, behind frontrunner
Walter Mondale, who won the
North Carolina primary, and Gary Hart,
the runnerup.
Elsewhere in the county primary, three
black candidates survived. Mose* Belton
Brown, a Democratic candidate for county
commissioner, placed third out of a field
of eight candidates and school board
candidates Evelyn Terry and William
Tatum placed second and fourth out of a
field of 12 candidates.
According to unofficial election
returns, Jackson gathered 13,033 votes in
Forsyth County, Walter Mondale 11,266
and Gary Hart 8,136.
Although the other Democratic candidates
dropped out of the race long
