District Democrats Honor James
An enthusiastic crowd of near
ly 200 Democrats overflowed the
private dining-room of the Holi
day Inn Saturday night at a Vic
tory Dinner, which as also an
Appreciation Dinner for Dr. Bill
J ames.
The party leaders came from
nearly all parts of the Eighth
District to honor their only los
ing candidate, the Hamlet physi
cian who ran a tough uphill race
against GOP Rep. Charles R.
Jonas.
Speakers on the informal pro
gram expressed appreciation for
his valiant fight, declared he had
done the party ticket more good
than anybody else except Gold-
water, berated themselves for not
having worked harder in his be
half and sang, “For He’s a Jolly
Good Fellow.”
Dr. Bill, in fine spirits, would
say of the prospects two years
from now only that “I believe
we’ve laid a foundation for vic
tory,” while declining to commit
himself on whether he would run
again. But he vowed, “Whoever
the Democrats pick to run next
time, he can count on me to
help,” while shouts of “We want
Dr. Bill!” arose from the crowded
room.
Honored with “Dr. Bill” were
his wife and Prentice Taylor,
Hamlet furniture manufacturer
who served as his campaign man
ager.
Sponsoring Group
Sponsoring the dinner was a
Moore County group unofficially
dubbed the “Squirrel Stew
Boys,” since they gather about
