ROADS
Bob Scott's Daddy, the former Governor

SHAKE UP TOP ECHELON OF THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
This statement brought an immediate retaliation
from the Honorable Joe Hunt, Chairman of the N. C.
Highway commission. .Mr. Hunt has consistently in
sulted the East with phases like "you don't have the
people; you don't have the traffic, and you don't have
the industry for four -lane highways. This statement
was made to an area road delegation from Elizabeth
City, Hertford, and Edenton which went to Raleigh
asking for consideration of U.S. 17. (Reported by
Elizabeth City Daily Advance). .Ask Mr. Hunt who
he is supporting for governor! Further, ask Mr.
Bob Scott was not brought out by any individual
or group of people. It was his, and only his, decision
to run for Governor. Therefore, he will not be be
holden to any group such as the top echelon of the
Mr. Broughton says he stands on his record as a former Chairman of The N. C. Highway
Commission. In a 1 ! sincerity we ask "WHAT RECORD"-Mr. Broughton?

WHAT ARE THE REAL ISSUES?

rm CHOWAN HEMAtJt. PWBWTOW, WWIH CAROLINA, THUMP AT. MAY *, 1968.
Broughton isn't Mr. Hunt supporting him. Under Mr.
Broughton would it not be logical for Joe Hunt to con
tinue as Chairman of the N. C. Highway Cmmission?
And if that happened, wouldn't We be SET FOR AN
OTHER FOUR YEARS OF NOTHING IN ROAD PRO
GRESS IN OUR AREA?
Mr. Scott says "for several years the highway
department has been controlled and supervised in a
cloak of scholarly secrecy—open only to a chosen few.

THE SCOTTS OF HAW RIVER
Lt. Gov. Bob Scott, Democratic candidate for Governor, brings an
unusual blend of experience and training to North Carolinians. He com
bines the activities of a dairy farmer, businessman, and experienced State
leader with equal success.
As Lieutenant Governor, he presides over the Senate. He is respect
ed and recognized for his fair and impartial leadership.
. As a dairy farmer, he manages 300 head of dairy cattle on 2,000
seres of historic land in Alamance County. He is owner and manager of
Melville Farms near Haw River. As a businessman, he serves as an officer
of two corporations and is a member of the Board of Directors of North
State Bank in Burlington.
Bob Scott served on the Board of Conservation and Development and
has been a member of the Kerr Reservoir Development Commission and
the N. C. Seashore Commission. In 1959, he and his wife, Jessie Rae, were
chosen "Young Couple of the Year" by the National Grange.

to 12 years.
Recently, Bob said he wants to be Governor of North Carolina to
lead the State to new accomplishments. He doesn't want to be a Governor
in name only.
BROUGHTON'S ROAD RECORD
IN ENC NOT A GOOD ONE
"But here in Eastern North
Carolina his (Broughton's) rep
utation as a road builder is not
one that commends him too
highly.
Os course, Broughton had
very little to say about what
went on in the highway de
partment while he served as
its chairman,, since the shots
were being called by Luther
Hodges, just as Hodges now
has dragged Broughton back
into the spotlight of North Car
olina politics.
But it is too shortly ago to
forgive Broughton for his si
lence during those years when
he was a silent partner to the
rape of Eastern North Carolina
and during which the single
county of Forsythe got more
money for roadbuilding than
Columbus, New Hanover, Pen
der, Bladen, Sampson, Wayne,
Duplin, Jones, Onslow, Carta
ret, Craven, Pamlico, Lenoir,
Greene, Pitt, Beaufort, Martin,
Washington, Hyde, Tyrrell,
Dare Edgecombe, Bertie, Hert
ford, Gates, Chowan, Per
quimmans, Pasquotank, Cam
den, and Currituck counties
COMBINED."

LAW & ORDER
Bob Scott says "as your governor, I will
make it crystal clear that willful violations of
our laws will not be tolerated, whether it be by
individuals or groups, organized or unorganized,
bl*ek or white, rich or poor. I shall make every
effort to £ee that life and property, both public
and private, are protected, We don't issue lic
enses to steal. We either condone the act of
violence—the burning, lootings, sniping—or we
do not. Ido not now and I will not condone
them as your governor." (Wash, speech, April
10).
TAXES
Bob Scott is against tax increases of any
nature and believes that the State will have suf
ficient money under the present tax structure
to operate on. He says "when we bring our
teacher salaries up to national average, begin a
public kindergarten program, provide industrial
education and vocational programs in 7th and
Bth grades to combat our 45% school dropout
rate—that's progress." (Wash., N. C. speech,
April 10). paragraph VI.
counties and the highway districts. It has been re
moved further from the people and placed somewhere
behind the multitude of closed doors in the Highway
bdnding. The time has come for these doors to be
opened and let some fresh air into the carpeted, pan
eled offices in the ivory tower of the Highway build
ing. When we make our highway program a people's
program and when we bring once again some com
mon sense thinking into highway matters—that's pro
gress." . (Wash, speech, April 10)..
I'm running hard—Because I want to be governor of
N. C. I want to bring new life and fresh enthusiasm
to our state government." (Wash, speech, April 10)
