Former North Carolina Gov. Terry
Sanford announced his candidacy for the
1976 Democratic presidential nomination
last week and wasted no time in establishing
himself as the chief opposition in the South
for undeclared Democratic presidential
candidate. Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
Sanford told the National Press Club in
Washington. I do not trade on fears or
hatreds or scare tactics. In that respect I
stand in stark contrast to one candidate. My
mission in life is not to eliminate the George
Wallaces from the political spectrum.
"However. 1 came up at the same time in
similar climate, region and crucial times, and
it is my responsibility to challenge him. he
said.
Wallace and Sanford were both
candidates for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1972.
They join former Georgia Gov. Jimmy
Carter, Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentscn and
Washington Sen. Henry "Scoop Jackson as
candidates for the 1976 nomination.
Sanford said he will probably enter an
estimated 17 of the 30 state presidential
primaries next spring, but the one held in
N.C. will undoubtedly be the most crucial
state's for the former governor.
If Sanford fails to defeat Wallace in the

N.C. primary next March, he said he will
withdraw from the presidential race. In the
1972 N.C. primary Wallace defeated
Sanford. but Sanford blames his late start in
the campaign for the loss. .
Even though more candidates could split
the votes in the primary. Sanford said he will
not persuade other Democrats to refrain
from entering the N.C. contest.
There currently are fund-raising
organizations for Sanford's campaign in 45
states, and it is estimated that $100,000 has
already been raised. Sanford hopes to raise
$1 million in N.C. alone before the end of the
year. He has already started a direct mail
solicitation in North Carolina.
Sanford said he believes his organization
can raise $5,000 in each of the 20 states in the
next six or eight weeks to receive a matching
amount of money from the federal
government under the campaign reform act.
Skeptics of the Sanford campaign have
said one of his biggest problems is that the
average citizen outside of North Carolina is
not familiar with him.
However, a nationwide Gallop Poll
showed that 14 of the voters knew
Sanford's name. Sanford said it was "rather
remarkable" that his name was even

included in the poll and that 14 was a
"dadblamed good" starting place for his
campaign.
In 1960, before John Kennedy received the
Democratic presidential nomination, he was
known by approximately only 5 of the
populace while 90 knew Richard Nixon,
Sanford said.
The 57-year-old Sanford was considered a
political and racial moderate during his
1961-65 term as governor. A Laurinburg
native, he practiced law before entering
politics.
Sanford served as the head of Citizens for
Hubert Humphrey in 1968 and chaired the
Democratic Charter Commission last year.
He has served as president of Duke
U niversity since 1970 and will take a one year
leave of absence from that position at the end
of this year to conduct his campaign.
In a letter to the Duke faculty and student
body before he announced his candidacy last
week, Sanford said he would not accept the
vice-presidential nomination. If he should
receive the Democratic presidential
nomination and win the general election,
Sanford said he would ask for a 4-year
extension on his leave of absence from Duke.
