machinery aa delegates to the
state Republican Convention
gave their support to
Holshouter's candidate for
party chairman, Thomas S.
Bennett.
Rouse, admitting his cbance
for re-election was slim, even
before a vote was taken,
halted the convention's roll
call of counties a half hour
after It started to concede the
race.
With Rouse out of office,
Hobhouser - through Bennett -gained
complete authority
over the party headquarters,
ending a year-long struggle
for control.
Bennett, who planned to
reside over Monday 's meeting
of the Carteret County Board
of Commissioners before
terminating his chairmanship
of that board, said he would
return to Raleigh Monday
night to begin his two-year
term at the head of the party
organization.
Presumably, Holshouser's
lot wthln the party will be
aaaed. There is no assurances
of that, however.
Although his strength
slackened in the final hours

Rouse had a strong following
that will not change sides
easily.

to divert all of his' political

resulting from the bitter 1972
Republican primaries. Rouse,

GOP chairman, gave up tfte
office briefly to w.ark for
Rocky Mount businessman
Jim Gardner in the second
primary, a campaign that put
him against Holshouser.
Holshouser won the
nomination but subsequently
was unable to block Rouse's
reinstatement to the chair
manship. According to Ponder, the
two b others were in a family
dispute when Mason King
pulled out his 22-caliber pistol
and shot Beacherd five times
in the chest and stomach.
Beacherd is now in the

Formal charges are
awaiting the outcome of
