Little expressed concern that the infectious enthusiasm that marked the final weeks of registration had died out, ^rarsaid the 'Mast four of five hours of voting" reassured / him thafc blacks were going to the polls. Little, Jackson's Forsyth County campaign coordinator, also predicted that Jackson would win Forsyth County and watched the computer screens intensely at the Board of Elections office as the returns trickled in. With 72 of 80 precincts reporting, Jackson, who had trailed Walter Mondale until then, moved ahead by a few hundred votes, and the Jackson supporters applauded. After the last eight precincts had reported, Jackson had indeed carried the county. "I wanted to win Forsyth County in the worst way," Little said. Jackson's candidacy had awakened "the sleeping giant," said Jackson supporter Velma Flopkins. " ? Now let's get him on his feet. And, for God's sake, don't let him go back to sleep." But Jackson wasn't the only reason blacks visited the polls Tuesday. Arthur Westmoreland, 28, as did several others, said he votes because he chooses not to waste his right to do so. And then there was 58-year-old Nan Little, who has partial brain damage which resulted from a diabetic coma. Though she had to be supported on both sides into the Kennedy precinct and to the voting booth, she said Rep. Steve Neal and his help in obtaining her Social Security benefits was the reason she voted. But she was also glad to cast her ballot for Jackson. "We feel we should support our people," said Alander Little, 33, who accompanied Mrs. Little. Once the votes had been tallied, and it was official that Jackson had carried Forsyth County, the Board of Elections office became a cheering ground for the Baptist minister. "I'm really excited about the Jesse Jackson win," said Myron Chenault, vice chancellor for development at Winston-Salem State University. "I'm glad to see the strong showing in Forsyth County. 1 think it says something about the people here." Nmpnlv did Jackson take Forsyth County by almost 2,000votes; he apparently pulled his "red wagon" behind him and assisted the efforts of local black candidates in their quest for public office, said white Jackson supporter Larry Conlin-Long. "The key was Jesse Jackson's tactic of bringing along his red wagon said Conlin-Long. Jackson supporters say the proof is in the pudding. Locally, Evelyn A. Terry and Bill Tatum, both black, became two of four Democratic nominees for the school board in November. Terry's win ? she came in second with more than 13,000 votes behind incumbent John Wood - seemed to surprise few people, but Tatum's fourth-place finish surprised even him. "I was worried," he admitted after all the precincts had been counted. "I think the people had the confidence in me. With the grace of God and the black precincts, I made it." He also said the Black Leadership Roundtable's endorsement did much to enhance his candidacy. Tatum is a member and former chairperson of the Roundtable. A fin, * fluy, Tprry hairi.

Mose' Belton Brown, who hopes to join lone black _ % a _ ?? T * r> / , - - commissioner iviazie wooaruiT ai tne Hall ot Justice, says her third-place finish behind Democratic incumbents Neal Bedinger and James N. Ziglar shows her where she needs to drum up support. With most of her support coming from the inner-city black precincts, Brown intends to target county voters, less than 3,000 of which are registered black voters. "This summer, I will work on building support from around the county," she said. "I will also reorganize and try to pull in people from other campaigns who didn't win tonight." Black candidates in the loser's box included Patrick Hairston and Willie Smith for county commissioner, Gordon Slade for school board, the Rev. C.E. Greene for register of deeds and Robert Hannon for governor. In addition to the presidential and local contests, the hotly-contested Democratic battle for governor saw Rufus Edmisten beat out Eddie Knox by a slim margin. Both candidates have strong black followings in the city. (At press time, whether a runoff would be required for the governor's race had not been determined.) Alderman Larry Womble, co-campaign coordinator for Edmisten, pointed out that none of the endorsement lists being passed out at the polls carried Edmisten's name, which made the victory all the sweeter. Referring to his campaigning in the rain on primary day, Womble said: "I'm going to have a cold tomorrow, but it's worth it."
