SALEM
|0n election night — 1964, both the
lational and state elections showed
^ sweeping victory for the Demo-
■rats. Early in the evening it was
ipparent that people all over the
lation were shifting toward the
jemocrat party.
( Moderate Republicans swung to-
ird President Johnson, Negroes
j|cnt for Johnson 99%, and in one
if the first tallies Johnson led in
ifedominately Republican states.
Iv-erything heard on the radio or
seen on T. V. w^as for Johnson —
Te.xas is a landslide for Johnson,
Johnson is ahead in Vermont, in
Florida Johnson is the probable
winner, and Johnson is ahead in
Kansas, traditionally Republican.
The last reported percentage of
expected popular votes before the
election was Johnson-59%, Gold-
water-41%. With the unofficial
count of votes President Lyndon B.
Johnson can be assured of gaining
the title of President-Elect. The last
official vote we obtained w'as Pre
sident Johnson-31 million. Senator
Goldwater-20 million. President
Johnson may set a record majority
for the popular vote. Another legacy
of this election is the rebuilding of
a two-party system in the South.
Senator Goldwater’s strength was
in the South which shifted toward
the more conservative party, the
Republican party.
Elsewhere in the national election
21 Democrats captured Senate seats
before all tfie results were in. The
Senate majority is 54. With their
40 continuing seats, this gives the
Democrats a sizeable majority in
the house. The Republicans were
assured of 3 seats and and have 25
continuing chairs in the Senate.
On our state scene the Demo-
cratics again swept through North
Carolina for another triumph.
Dan K. Moore steadily gained over
Robert Gavin for a big victory
in the governor’s race. Late results
were: Mr. Moore —• 743,000, Mr.
Gavin — 572,000. Governor Terry
Sanford’s school bond issue also
won by an overwhelming margin.
Election night-1964 was relatively
calm and the outcome was like
many people expected. The unex
pected factor was the huge vote of
confidence showm for President
Lyndon B. Johnson and the Demo
crat party.

Sanford Speaks At Salem;
Supports Young Democrats
The Honorable Terry Sanford,
Governor of North Carolina, in
Winston-Salem for the Young
Democrats’ Rally at Philo Junior
High School, spoke to loyal Demo
crats and curious Salemites in the
Day Student Center last Thursday
night.
The visit by Sanford, who has
visited the campns in connection
with the Governor’s School many
times, was arranged by the Salem
Young Democrats, headed by Car-
son McKnight.
Carson introduced the governor as
the “champion of education, champ
ion of equal rights, champion of the
underpriviledged — in short, a true
champion.’’
Gov. Sanford, in a jovial mood,
began informally by saying how glad
he was to see students interested
in politics, particularly Young
Democrats. “It’s an important part
of your education,” he said.
The Governor called for any ques
tions from the audience. When ask
ed what he thought the long range
reaction of the white people in
North Carolina would be to the
Civil Rights Act, he said he thought
they would accept it as they had
always accepted the law of the land.
When asked whether he thought
the Civil Rights Act would hurt or
affect his effort to keep North
Carolina’s racial problems to a mini
mum and out of the news. Gov. San
ford quipped, ‘T’ve only got two
more months. I think I can get by
for two months, don’t you?” Pie
added that “historj^ shows that no
people can be suppressed for long.
It’s up to us to set the climate so
their aspirations will be achieved.
They are entitled to a break and to :
e.'iuality.” ....
.After his term of office is over,
Gov. Sanford plans to go back into
law practice. He remarked that he ■
wants to make more money with
out having to work so hard. At pre
sent he has no future plans of run
ning for major offices.
Gov. Sanford said that the Gov
ernor’s School which he set up
would be continued.
The Governor was asked whether
he thought the Gag Law would ever
be repealed ? He answered that he
had gone on record as being against
it and would have vetoed it had he
had the power. He thinks its repeal
would depend on vigorous leader
ship. “It’s easy for people to be
misled. It will be hard to do.”
Another student asked whether
his intership program would be
continued in the next administra
tion. Gov. Sanford said that it was
set up so that it would, but that
it might not get the full support it
needs. “It was proven worthwhile. I
hope it will get full support.”
