Rev. William R. Crawford
Wins In Primary Balloting
BY LUCIUS JONES
(Editor, The Winston-Salem CAROLINIAN)
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.—(SPEClAL)—Although a
comparatively light voting took place here Tuesday. May
22, the winning returns from the Democratic Primary elec
tion were dominated by the Negro candidate for the Board
>1 Alderman from the South Third Ward. So popular was
this aspirant, the Rev. William R. Crawford, that he polled
a five-to-one margin over his opponent, Jason Hawkins,
also, colored, 897 to 181, the highest majority which any
Democrat, white or colored, chalked up.
All winning candidates in the
May 22 primary will have to com

TO RUN JUNE S
In the May 22 election, the aim
was to decide five candidates of
eleven asprtants for the Board of
Aldermen, The men elected as can
didates were the Rev. William R.
Crawford. South Third Ward: L L.
Wall, West First Ward; Carl N.
Chitty of North Salem, H. F. Tuck
er of the North Third Ward, and
Art-hie Eldridge of South Salem
The other candidates ran unoppos
ed They wer t - Franis D. Pepper,
Wast Seond Ward; Charlie Church
of East First Ward and Guy Fulp
of East Second Ward.
MANY FAILED TO GO TO POLLS
Considering that Winston-Salem,
almost invariably, elects Democrat
ic Aldermen in it* general election,
the result- of Tuesday’s primary
appears to have weakened the City
Manager's standing with the Board
of Alderman. -
For the past two years, the back
ing of a majority of the Board
members had "gone to bat” for the
City Manager, C. E. Perkins, on
eontioversial issues. If the candi
dates elected Tuesday as candi
dates win in the June 5 voting.
City Manager Perkins will only
have two known backers--Pepper
and Fulp, j
CITY MANAGER OPPOSED
Charlie Church has been a stern
force against Perkins' views lor
two years, while H. F- Tucker used
the anti-Cit yManager issue as his
plaftorm.
Archie Elledge and L. L. Wall
have yet to make any commit
ments relative to their support or
non-support of City Manager Per
