SCOTT-FOR-GOVERNOR CAMPAIGN OPENS IN COUNTY — Gubernatorial Candidate Robert W.
(Bob) Scott (right above) brought his campaign for N. C. governor to Cleveland County Saturday
as he officially snipped the ribbon to open his county campaign headquarters in Shelby, assisted
by Cleveland Campaign Manager Pat Spangler, left. Close to 1,000 Democrats stood in line Saturday
morning to greet the lieutenant governor from Haw River. There was no formal political speech
but Scott predicted a victory in the May primary os he shook hands with those who braved cold,
windy weather and crowded into the old Union Trust building at the corner of N. Lafayette and
Marion stteets. “The response we have hod to the compaign here gives emphasis to the fact we are
going to win in the primary,” he told the gathering. “This is a great way to wind up a week of
very active and aggressive campaigning. We're delighted with the way the campaign's going. ' he
said. The unspectacled man beside Spangler is Jack Mabry. Others are unidentified. (Photo by
