his candidate and will do like anv other
Democrat in November.
"We are gonna do like the rest of the
citizens," said Johnson. "We are gonna wait
until Nov. 6 and go vote our own conscience.
"I don't know why neonle are so concerned
about the Knox supporters," Johnson said.
"We got out and worked for our man."
Because Johnson's father has been ill, he
has not had the time or interest to work actively
for the Democratic Party, he said.
"I also have not been asked to work for
anybody," Johnson said. "Nobody has asked
us to do anything, other than the (Gov. Jim)
Hunt (senatorial) campaign. You don't just
jump out of the clear sky and start doing
things. I haven't been approached by
anyone."

been the from
publicly endorsing and working for Edmisten.
"My thoughts haven't changed overnight,"
Wilson said. "I didn't like Rufus before he
ran for governor and I don't like him now. I
supported* the best man for the job and I
would support him again if he ran."
Regardless of her personal feelings, Wilson

But, during the three days I

"We saw some softness in sales

"I'm a Democrat and I support who 1 wani
to support," she said. "If 1 want to support
them publicly, 1 will. If 1 don't, 1 won't."
During the primary campaign some said the
differences between Edmisten and Knox on
the issues were so small that it made no difference
which one you chose to support.
"Thai's not true," Wilson said. "There is
no way you could say that. They were two different
individuals.''
Wilson said Edmisten's refusal to show
more support for the Wilmington 10 and Joan
nine dnu iu speax uui again si me Kian alter
the Nov. 3, 1979 shootout between Klansmen
and Communist Workers Party members in
Greensboro were reasons she decided to support
Knox. Wilson said she also supported
Knox because vhr felt he woui^a^ppomt more
bracks to frrs cabrnet;^
"That's not being racist," Wilson said. "If
1 was racist, I wouldn't vote for anybody. But
1 want to go with somebody who will give the
black race something."
Like Wilson, Newell said she also saw a
wide range of differences between Edmisten

and Knox.
"I'm a Utile cautious of a candidate that 1
makes a whole lot of promises," said Newell. C
"And I've got to talk with our representative J
about those promises." \
At best, the feelings black Knox supporters f
have for Edmisten seem to be lukewarm, but J
all agree that, while they arc not overly en- \
thusiastic about the Democratic Party's #
gubernatorial nominee, they will support him. 1
"I'm going with the party; now, there's no %
doubt about that," said Beaufort Bailey, vice /
chairman of the city-county school board. 1
Larry Womble, one of Edmisten's local I
organizers, said he has no problems believing J
the Knox people will work with Edmisten \
because many of them, including Richard Ar- f
chia, Evelyn Terry, James Reeves, Vic J
Johnson, Mazie Woodruff and Annie Brown \
Kennedy, have already pledged to support ?
.... him. ? -M
One reason, Womble said, that it may be \
perceived that the Knox people are quiet is /
because the Edmisten campaign is in the midst 1
of "housekeeping." C
"We're not doing anything right now," J
said Womble. "We are gonna wait until after \
Labor Day to go full force." f
