V Page Al2-The Chronicle, T Knox cam iWUmWHIMlllllllllHlimillUllllllHMIimMII Too Close To Call? Since Gilmore has not only personally endorsed Knox, but aired that endorsement on a television commercial, his support may make the EdmistenKnox race too close to call. In fact, that's precisely what the local Knox campaign coordinators are hoping for. "We are confident, but not overly so," says Blunk. "We hope that it will be real close, but with Knox on top." Gilmore's support for Knox has been noticeahlv enthusiastic. "1 ? wN<>4^Tff?HTar~OilTrr0i'e ""endorsed Knox but he is working actively with the campaign, has appeared on TV supporting Knox and has an active campaign schedule himself in support of Knox," Blunk says. "Gilmore voters are ... committed to their candidate and will follow him.". A black Knox supporter who has maintained a high profile during the campaign agrees and says that's the way it ought to be; "Once an endorsement is made for a candidate, a person should follow through NMMMNMMMMMMIItlllMHIMMIMIMIIIIIIIIMIII Profile f uiUMiNHiiitiiiaiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii seem to understand is that W it.

"Anytime you endorse someone, you should go all the way with him." adds Johnson, who speculates that most of Gilmore's supporters will follow his lead and support Knox. Other factors that may figure prominently in the race, especially in WinstonSalem, is whether organiza^ tions that endorsed Gilmore in the May 8 primary will endorse Knox in the runoff. Gilmore received endorsements locally from the Black Leadership Roundtable Coalition, the Chroni< /?? EusprLai Caesar and the North Carolina Association of Educators. The NCAE already has decided not to make an endorsement in the runoff, electing instead to leave the decision to individual members. Meanwhile, both the Roundtable and the Chronicle will make their endorsements next week and Caesar has not announced if she, like Gilmore, will support Knox.

As for Edmisten, Alderman Larry Womble, the attorney general's Forsyth County coordinator, feels the same assets that brought his candidate this far will see him through the runoff. "We feel very confident and hope the people (the voters) will come back out again," says Womble. "Edmisten has a broad base of support in the city, county aid * iimWfti in tin whites. He has transended ?u i? i ? an - uuunuaries, geographical and racial. "We are hoping that the people who supported the former candidates ... will join the Edmisten team. We are asking them, and showing them, that we really need them. We are welcoming them with open arms." Womble says endorsements without manpower and work mean nothing. "During the primary, lid I SPECIAL D I ?SAP ^ *%Akl\/f\ $ m hh I Mil 1 f re From Pag Gilmore received a lot of endorsements, but they were not translated into actual workers," he says. If Edmisten's showing in the primary continues in the runoff, Womble says, people can begin calling him the next governor. "Of the 100 counties in North Carolina, he led in 70 and in the other 29 he was second, and third in one other," Womble says. That's hard to do with a field of 10 candidates. It's hard for anybody to pull off the victory he pulled off." Edmisten's win was the result of organization and ib-rnA WfihroMft MYiiw. both of which will continue. "Since 1 joined the campaign, Edmisten came to Forsyth County 12 times," he says. "No other candidate has been to the black community like he has. He wants the black vote and he needs the black vote." No Jackson One problem both camps EE 5 WEEKLY rno /o run AILY RATE&^A J $Q99 > 9 w Per Week ir Week immnette \r VEK j le A1 will have to contend with is how to lure voters to the polls. That may especially be a problem in the black community, since presidential candidate Jesse Jackson will not be on the ballot. Without Jackson, both camps fear, the black voter turnout may decrease substantially in the runoff. ''We're expecting the percentages to drop to-40 percent across the board," Blunk says. "It's hard to get anybody out, not only black people. But, if you see a greater drop in the because the percentage was so high on May 8." Still, Womble says voters are more politically aware than they have been in the past and will not have to be persuaded to vote. "This is the first time in eight years they (North Carolina voters) have had an opportunity to vote for a new governor," Womble says. "This alone should be enough to bring them to the polls.
