Boxes of addressed envelopes were on the floor near the door; about 20 women were working and chatting. Coffee, cold tea, candies and cookies were on a table on the left. A huge picture of Preyer covered the wall on the right. The candidate's father, sister and brother came in. Preyer Sr. shook hands with everyone and waited for his son. A small, elderly Negro man called "Snowball" entered. He wore a tin hat with "BOB SCOTT" scrawled across the back. "Can I persuade you to put this around the front?" a cheery " S ' i t- ":vx:.

The old man complied and left, sporting the new addition to his campaign hat. "I voted for Franklin Roose velt, Kerr Scott, Terry Sanford and now I'm voting for Richard son Preyer," an elderly man who claimed to be an ex-FBI agent said. The candidate entered, over an hour late. The headquarters im mediately came alive as he cir culated around the room shaking hands. He was tan and, despite his long ordeal, showed few signs of fatigue. A young man, his driver, whis pered in his ear, "We've got to go . . . we're late." The judge said goodbye and walked to a waiting car, shaking a few hands, while his aides dashed up the street to other (Continued on Page 5) ; i4 day's rainstorm, you live with it . . . wetly.

Moore was covered in the Bur lington Moose Lodge following his tour of Alamance and four other counties earlier in the day. He was meeting that night with local Lake supporters in an effort to woo their support. Preyer was covered in Greens boro and Winston-Salem as he met with supporters and shook hands during a shift change at the Western Electric Plant and in a nearby shopping center. Iw 1 vc-- May Get Only 9.000 Votes An estimated 9,000 Orange County voters will go to the polls Saturday to nominate Democratic candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the County's seat in the State House of Representatives.

UNC political science professor Gordon B. ' Cleveland faces dairy farmer Donald Stan- ford of Chapel Hill in a run-off for Orange's seat in the State House. Cleveland led a field of three candidates in the first pri mary, but failed to get a clear majority of the votes. Cleveland tallied 4,300 votes while Stanford polled 2,902 and in cumbent Ed Hamlin of Hillsboro 2,031. Hamlin, publisher of the weekly News of Orange County, is supporting Stanford in the run off. Cleveland has been a mem ber of the Board of County Com missioners since 1962, and pre viously served for four years on the County Board of Education. Stanford is a dairy farmer in Bingham Township and a gradu ate of UNC. He has been a mem ber of the Board of County Com missioners since 1956, chairman since 1962.

The lodge had been rented by the local Moore organization for the evening, since the members do not officially support any can didate. But a certain Mr. Capil lary, a proud life-time member of the Moose Lodge, was there any way. He is a Preyer supporter. Mr. Capillary, a jovial sort of fellow, made jokes about his name. "You know . . . Capillary . . . just like blood vessel. I keep telling the girls I'm getting un der their skin." With that he would break in to gales of laughter. He told more jokes and asked questions about the Carolina football team. Peace Corps To Recruit Here Today UNC is entering its third year as a major center of Peace Corps activity.

Moore - Everyone was standing outside the lodge, a beautiful structure with white pillars, surrounded by well-kept grass. There was a large swimming pool off to one slide.- Soon the sound of hill-billy sing ing came within earshot as the advance guard of Dan Moore's campaign caravan rolled into the parking lot. "Well, vote for Dan, 'cause he's our man . . . Dan K. Moore . . . Dan K. Moore," the loudspeakers blared. It kept playing over and over. People began to file into the lodge for dinner. The candidate was still not there. A half-hour later, Moore arriv ed with his wife and aides. He looked tired after a long day on the campaign trail.
