For associate Supreme Court
justice, Henry Frye.
Unbeknownst to some of us, the
1 state's first black Supreme Court
justice, who earned his stripes as
a well-regarded state representative,
has competition and needs
and deserves your vote to remain
on the bench.
For state Senate, 20th District,
Lafayette Jones. What Jones, a
black Republican candidate (the
two can go together), lacks in experience
he makes up in mettle,

wing son-of-a-gun, at least we
always know where he's coming
from. Hunt is wishy-washy, but
Helms scares me. And he will
scare every black, Indian and
right-thinking white if he's reelected
and that Percy fellow in
Illinois loses. 'Cause if that happens,
Jesse becomes chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
If y'all think the CIA is running
crazy now, look out
Nicaragua and the Third World!
Me: So, it seems that you are
more anti-Reagan and Helms
than you are pro-Mondale and
Hunt?
Willie: Yeah, but what else is
? new? The lesser of two evils is
almost always the choice for
/ . . - - -
black and poor folk.
Me: Folk tell me that the governor's
race is a hot one.
Willie: Well, you know, that
Democratic primary just about
tore up the black community. So
now, you got black folk who supported
Eddie Knox rallying
behind Republican Jim Martin
and turning their backs on Rufus
(Edmisten).
Me: So, what's gonna happen on
election day?
Willie: The hell if I know, but
I'm * goittia vbte * for Edrrtisten
'cause I always follow the advice
of that Black Leadership Round^piHwmmwmmmwmmmmmm

forthrightness and common

For state House, 67th District,
C.B. Hauser. Dr. Hauser, a
tireless worker who surprised
many, apparently including
himself, with a victory two years
ago, faces competition in his
newly created single-member
district and could lose if black
voters show poorly at the polls.
For state House, 66th District,
Annie Brown Kennedy. Mrs.
Kennedy, a local attorney, runs
no's Wisdom
table group. But I will say this:
Jim Martin is a sincere dude who
put some distance between his
politics and those of Jesse Helms.
I'll give him credit for that.
Rufus better watch out.
Me: Do you have a choice for 5th
District Congressman?
Willie You bet your Boone's
Farm I do. Steve Neal has done
all right and deserves anothei
term. But I'll tell you, progressive
folk need to stay on Steve about
his support for all that money foi
defense and military spending,
That's crazy.
Me: Brother Willie, I've got to gc
soon, but I would appreciat<
your insight on the local elec

Mrs. Holton, a longtime and
loyal Democrat, is somewhat of
an unknown quantity in this race
to fill the seat left empty by the
death of Fred Hauser. Former
Democrat David Drummond is,
however, a known quantity
whom we would prefer to remain
unelected.
