Jimmy Green watches returns ...defeated Republican Bill Cobey RALEIGH Jimmy Green, saying "a win for me is a win for North Carolina," was re-elected lieutenant governor of the state Tuesday, defeating former University of North Carolina athletic director and Republican challenger Bill Cobey. With about 63 percent of the precincts counted, Green led with 54 percent of the vote. Both, the Associated Press and United Press International projected that Green would win the race. Green said that he won the election because he "stood on the record he had established during four years in office. 'l talked to the people of the state about the experience I have," Green said. "I talked about Jimmy Green and positive issues." Cobey said he would not concede the race until more of the vote had been counted. "1 won't be totally satisfied unless I win," he said. "But I can hold up my head and know we ran a good race." John Ingram won a third term as Insurance Commissioner by defeating Republican Ed Tenney with 59 percent of the vote. Ingram's victory led a Democratic sweep of the Council of State offices. "We are pleased to be working with the people of North Carolina for four more years," Ingram said. "We have received a pledge from the governor that some of the laws limiting our powers will be changed. , "We hope to motivate the young people to take up the torch since we are dealing with pocket book issues," he added. "We already have the support of the parents and now we need to motivate the young people." Tenney and his campaign workers blamed a lack of funds and exposure for the defeat in the race. Tenney of Chapel Hill had said earlier in the night that he hoped he. would get some help from the .strong showing by Ronald Reagan in the state. 'In the other Council of State races, where no Republican has been elected since 1896, two incumbents and a Democratic newcomer were elected. Attorney General Rufus Edmisten won another term by defeating Asheviile attorney Keith Snyder with 63.5 percent of the vote. Secretary of State Thad Eure was also re-elected, defeating Republican challenger David Flaherty with 58.9 percent of the vote. Ed Renfrow was elected state auditor with 58.8 percent of the vote, defeating Republican James Mclntyre to replace retiring Democrat Henry Bridges. Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham, Labor Commissioner John Brooks, State Treasurer Harlan Boyles and Superintendent of Public Instruction Craig Phillips were re-elected without opposition. A referendum that will require North Carolina candidates for judgeships at the district court level and above to be lawyers was approved. JunL, Hackney take vote From staff reports The race in the 17th District for the N.C. House seemed to be the only one going as Democrats had hoped. . .: And the Republican challenger in it never showed up again after filing for the spot in May. Incumbent Patricia Hunt and newcomer Joe Hackney had an easy win over ghost candidate James S. Blair and spent most of the evening contemplating the defeat of President Jimmy Carter. "I think it is a tragedy that we allowed him (Reagan) to be nominated, much less elected," Hunt said. . "I'm very disappointed (about Carter's loss)," Hackney said. "I thought he was much superior. We'll do our best to support Reagan." Both Hunt and Hackney said the Reagan victory would not affect th'eir positions on the issues or what i a i o J 1 they would try to accomplish in the House. . In the 16th District Senate race, it looked like three time incumbent Russell Walker was a winner, but fellow Democratic incumbent Charles Vickery was having a harder time of it, fighting out the second seat with Republican challenger Charles Adams. Alice Ward, the other Republican in the race, appeared to be out of the picture at press time. Both Ward and Adams were running 2-to-I ahead of Walker and Vickery in their home cdunty, Randolph. Randolph, Orange, Moore and Chatham counties make up the 16th District. ' "They (the incumbents) are not voting the way most of the conservatives in Randolph County want them to vote," Adams said. Ward said she did not believe the incumbents adequately represented Randolph County because it is both rural and conservative. s - OIH WiH Uens Joe Hackney, winner in N.C. Houso race ...contemplates President Carter's loss County board incumbents win os'ta From page 1 From staff reports t Democratic incumbents Richard Vhitted and Don Wilihoit seemed sure to secure their Orange County Board of Commissioners seats Tuesday night at 12:30 a.m. with roughly two-thirds of the precincts counted. With roughly 97 of the precincts counted. Whitted and Wilihoit had received 15,956 and 15,944 votes respectively while Barbour had gotten 7,044 votes after 35 of the 36 precincts had been reported. Wilihoit; who spent most of the evening at county Democratic headquarters on Franklin Street, said the Democratic victory "demonstrated a vote of confidence for our board. We look forward to continuing our programs. No major policy changes will be made." Whitted and Wilihoit had the election weil in hand early in the evening, but despite her distant third-place showing Barbour still had hopes of winning at that time. "I'm going to win," Barbour said. "We've run a good campaign and. we've contacted a lot of people. I think the Republican turnout was good." ' Barbour, who campaigned against the increases in county taxes and spending that she said had taken place with Wilihoit and Whitted on the board, said she had raised important public concerns and that she had gotten positive response from voters. Whitted was unavailable for comment. The strong showing of the local Democrats was one of the bright spots at local Democratic headquarters. Those in attendance, who included Chapel Hill Mayor Joe Nassif and Carrboro Mayor Bob Drakeford, became quiet as President Jimmy Carter made his concession speech. But no one was particularly surprised by the strong showing of the Democratic candidates. Democratic " opponents of Whitted and Wilihoit ran campaigns similar to Barbour's last May in the primary and fared just as poorly. in the Plantation Acres precinct. North Carrboro also narrowly defeated the referendum, but a higher than expected yes vote was reported. . The referendum gives the Carrboror Board of r Aldermen the , -authority ; to - enact ' a property tax of not more than 10 cents per $100 valuation to pay for the bus routes that serve the town. The town's routes now are financed by federal revenue-sharing funds. Officials agree that the federal revenue-sharing program is too unstable for Carrboro to depend on for an ongoing program. Sharer said the referendum did not mean an automatic Jax increase. He said the town would continue to use the federal revenue sharing money as long' as Congress did not discontinue the program. Hilliard Caldwell of the Carrboro Association of Taxpayers, which opposed the referendum, said the group would continue to fight against higher taxes in Carrboro. J I jp-- (p- i u U . U i i i ! i Lu.

Veterans George McGovern in South Dakota, Warren Magnuson in all fclf victim "to Xlic- RcpulnaLa:ti.: &7 In all, Republicans won or were leading for 10 scats held by Democrats, including eight where incumbents were seeking new terms. A switch of nine scats would create a tie. In that case, according to Senate officials, Vice President-elect George Bush could vote, giving the GOP effective control. The Republicans last controlled the Senate when Dwight David Eisenhower sat in the White House. Democrats were in trouble all over the country as Reagan rode a surprising. conservative landslide to the White House. Magnuson, the 75-year-old chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, fell before Slade Gorton, the state's moderate attorney general. McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate, conceded defeat in his race with Rep. James Abdnor, ,.w hi" ?.

Steve Symms held a big, early lead over Sen. Frank Church, a four-term incumbent who heads the Foreign Relations Committee. . Other Democrats who were trailing in Senate races included John! Durkin in New Hampshire, Pat Leahy in Vermont, Gary Hart in Colorado, John Culver in Iowa and Jim Folsom in Alabama. 4i Preocntod by Inctituta fg Self-Study 8:CX) Novcn-ibcr 10, 1CC0 Carolina Inn Cub Room Re'Sstkwi &3.CQ For Further Information cell: Thomas T.
