Dellinger, attorney and veteran legislator and t). M. Vernon, prominent Mount UnUy bank official, were nominated to fill (iaston county’s two seats in the House of Representative of the North Carolina General Assem bly by Gaston county voters at the polls Saturday in the Democratic primary. The nomination is tanta mount to election. Dellinger led the ticket with a vote of 5,14U. Vernon ranked next j with 4,450. D. Reid Wallace ran ; third, with 3,281) and J. Caswell Taylor fourth with 2,808. ’I'lie vote obtained by Vernon and Dellinger makes them the un- ] disputed Democratic nominees for i Gaston’s two House seats, with I no necessity for a run-off primary. I l ruler election law governing such situations. Dellinger and Ver-| non are the nominees and neither of the other two candidates can I call for a run-off primary. County j Elections Chairman L. B. Hollowell! announced. i nis is governed, Chairman Hoi- ' lowed explained, by a State elec tions statute which provides that I when more than one office is at stake in a race “the majority with- ! in the meaning of this section shall I be ascertained by dividing the total vote cast for all of such candidates by the number of positions to be filled and then dividing the result by two." The law’ provides that “any excess of the same so ascer tained shall be the majority with in the meaning of this section,” and says further that “If, in ascer taining' the result in this way it appears that more candidates have obtained the majority than there are positions to be filled, then those having the highest vote, if beyond the majority just defined, shall be declared the nominees for the positions to be filled.” The total vote revived by the four candidates in the House race was 15,702. Thus, 3,875 votes— one-fourth the total vote — would have been sufficient to nominate have been sufficient to nominate. Both Dellinger, with 5,140. and Vernon, with 4,45(i, had in excess of this necessary number of votes. The third candidate, Reid Wallace, did not have this necessary num ber, polling only 3,289 votes. Rut even if he had gotten one-fourth of the total vote—3,875—he still could not call for a second pri mary under the statute since both Dellinger and Vernon had more votes than he did. Thus, County Elections Chair man Hollowed explained Dellinger and Vernon are the undisputed nominees for the House. There are 2,000 miles of un paved vehicular roads suitable for automobile travel in Alaska. Wins Nomination For Governor R. GREGG CHERRY CHERRY GIVEN BIG LEAD OVER McDonald here Saturday David P.
