Page 2 The Carolina Journal, Wednesday, May 1. 1968 ir McCarthy Wins Mock Election Held By Young Republicans By WALT SHERRILL The Young Republicans Club on campus sponsored UNC-C’s an swer to the Gallup Poll last Wed nesday; perhaps the results will be enlightening. The polling place was well attended by YRC members and curious onlookers. Bystanders in the Union iobby could’ve overheard the sounds of a political non machine in action; “Have you voted yet?” “for president, governor, and liquor by the drink, and all that.” “No—you don’t have to show your ID.” “Write-in what ever name you like.” “Please circle the party of your choice.” “1 hear they’re doing this on the Queens campus too.” “Yes sir, non-students can vote too.” Republican (138) Kennedy 17 McCarthy 68 Humplirey 9 Wallace 14 Broughton 39 Hawkins 10 Scott 42 Nixon 91 Rockefellow25 Reagan 12 Wallace (R) 6 Lindsay Gardmer 60 Stickley 52 Write in cad Write in candidates Dr. John Robbins Pat Paulsen Democrat (152) 64 86 23 8 44 38 77 51 47 12 9 55 43 Independent (182) 42 52 15 16 35 26 55 50 22 9 11 1 45 34 total (472) 123 206 47 38 118 77 174 192 104 33 26 1 160 129 1 Jam Up!

The ballots also gave voters an opportunity to show their approval or disapproval of liquor by the drink and a tobacco tax. Participation by the student body and all interested onlookers was heavy, with nearly 500 votes being cast in little less than four hours. There were a few instances of students voting more than once, but such irregularities were held to a minimum; we might therefore suppose that the results are in dicative of something. Perhaps the most interesting results of the mock-election were the surprising strengths of Sena tor McCarthy and Richard Nixon. Closer examination of the ballots revealed certain inconsistencies which would seem to indicate that some took the mock-election with mock-seriousness; Republicans voting tor Wallace and Hawkins, Democrats voting for Stickley and against Tobacco taxes, etc. 378 votes were cast in support of liquor by the drink, with 88 op posed, while 344 advocated a tobac co tax and 113 voted against the same.
