Stickley Campaigns
In Fayetteville
By Floyd Woodard, Jr.

Jack Stickley, Republi
can gubernatorial hope
ful, told a group of Re
publican leaders at a
breakfast held at the
Downtowner Motor Inn,
Tuesday morning, that
he was confident of a Re
publican victory.
He indicated that
through independent polls
taken, that he has gained
56% of the registered vot
ers in the state, and also
he mentioned that he was
still running scared.
Stickley attacked Jim
Gardner, in saying that
Gardner was the only gu-
did not fill out a ques-
tionaire — sent out to
all the candidates by the
Associated Press. He al
so stated that he was the
only one of the candidates
who was not running for
a higher office through
the governership, “I am
the only real candidate for
governor.”
“What I want out of this
campaign is and are a
sound, efficient, and, in
telligent business admin
istration in Raleigh, under
a Republican Governor.”
Mrs. Nathalene Smith, Librarian, Miss Sarah Chest
nut, sister of Charles W. Chestnut, for whom the
new library is named; Van Jackson, principal speaker.
Dr. Rudolph Jones, F.S.C. president, and John K.
Cook, chairman of the Board of Trustees were the

have brought about the
greatest social revolution
of modern times,” the
educator said, but he add
ed, “Too many black col
leges and “the black
middle class” fail to be
come involved in current
events.”
He emphasized that not
only the white middle
class, but the black mid
dle class as well, needs
to be awakened.
Dr. Cheek said that last
summer and immediately
after Dr. Martin Luther
King’s death will repre
sent the moments when the
nation realizes its destiny
or when the final curtain
began to be lowered on
our history.
Resistance to tyranny
he said, “is no less no
ble for the black man
than it is for the white
man. If the forces that
seek to keep us enslaved
prevail, then the pro
spects for this nationa are
foreboding.”
He concluded that life
for the black masses is
getting worse and steps
to redress the balance are
long over due.
