Carolina Review: "Hornet’s Nest” v Tradition Bypass... A " stay in the Raleigh News and Observer that Gov. Hunt might appoint Sec. of Crime Control Phil Carlton to replace retiring State Supreme Court Chief Justice, Susie Sharp, stirred up a hornet’s nest in Raleigh last week. The ensuing debates and scenarios blessedly pushed discussion of John Ingram’s substantial loss to Jesse Helms to the back burner of most Democrat’s thoughts. Most of the debate cen tered around the possibility that Hunt might play politics and bypass senior Associate Justice, Joeseph Branch. Traditionally, the senior justice of the court has been appointed ostensibly to minimize politics and competition for the top job in the state courts system. No doubt Carlton’s ap i pointment would further strengthen Hunt’s hold on the political structure of North Carolina (theoretically, the fairly large patronage system in the courts would indirectly give Hunt more control and power through Carlton). But then, senority is no guarantee of performance. Nor is the Supreme Court '\J II PRICES FROM FROM THIS IS THE YEAR FOR DIAMONDS . . .

In fact, Joeseph Branch directed Dan .Moore’s successful gubernatorial campaign in 1966. And it was Dan Moore who appointed Branch to the Supreme Court Gubernatorial spokesman Gary Pearce said the governor would definitely like to appoint someone who would further his (Hunt’s) efforts at judicial reform when Chief Justice Sharp reaches mandatory retirement age next August. That person, according to Pearce, would have to be someone administratively capable and who was not locked into doing things “the old way.” Reports circulating in Raleigh suggested that Carlton would first be ap pointed to the appeals Court in January to replace Judge Walter Brick who was elected to the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Dan Moore. Carlton would then be named Chief Justice with Sharp’s retirement. Former Rep. Herbert Hyde of Asheville and presently treasurer of the N.C. Democratic Party, would be named the new Secretary of Crime Control. Carlton has no appellate court experience but served nine years as a chief District Court judge before his present appointment. As filings now stand, Hunt will almost assuredly ap point Carlton to the Ap peals Court and Hyde will move to Crime Control. But the hard realities of politics might prevent Hunt from naming Carlton (his long time political associate and friend) to replace Sharp. Still, the chances are good that Hunt will break tradition further and ap point someone other than Branch as Chief Justice. Either way, Hunt’s choice will have to stand for election before the voters after serving out the remainder of Sharp’s term (3Vfe yrs.) Senate Campaign Notes... One can only speculate what might have happened if the Democrats had been able to present a more formidable opponent to Jesse Helms than John Ingram. Helms was able to suc cessfully paint Ingram as too liberal for North Carolina as well as being a “one issue” candidate (insurance). Peanut Demand Moderate Southeastern Section Demand for Southeastern grown peanuts was fairly light during the week ending November 10. Trading of U.S. Grades continued to be slow while trading of segregation three stock was fairly active. Prices were mostly unchanged. Prices paid per pound for shelled Runner type peanuts sold on an FOB shipping point basis for November-April shipment were for medium 34Vfc cents, end for U.S. splits 34 cents. For January- March shipment, Jumbo 37 cents. Sales of other grades were too few to quote. Virginia-North Carolina Section Demand for Virginia and North Carolina grown peauts was moderate for the week ending November 10. Trading was moderate. Prices were about unchanged. Harvest was practically completed. Prices paid per pound for Virginia type peanuts sold on an FOB shipping point basis for November-April shipment were for Un shelled Fancy 34 Vi to 35 cents; Shelled Medium 38V4 to 38Vi cents; Number One 32 cents and Number Two with 70 per cent splits for Nor did Ingram help himself by practicing negative politics (tearing down Helms instead of building up Ingram) and only flirting with campaign organization and fund raising. The past several elections have proven that no one should even consider run ning for a statewide office if he can’t raise a quarter of a million dollars to begin with... a candidate for senator or governor must then be able to funnel an additional $750,000 or more into the kitty while soliciting votes. Furthermore, at the beginning, such candidates should be able too reveal names of supporters (wiling to work) in practically all 100 counties of the state. Os course, the numbers are not concrete. Council of State incumbents can often get by with less but not comfortably. At any rate, Ingram didn’t {day by the rules, possibly because of his fluke upset victory over Luther Hodges Jr. (who did play by the rules but could not identify with the rank and file). So Ingram got burned. But a Jim Hunt or Jimmy Green or Rufus Edmisten might not have. Ihcidentally, a candidate -is also wise not to choose an opponent who can raise $7- million. November shipment 29V4 cents. Southwestern Section Demand for Southwestern grown peanuts was moderate during the week ending November 10. Trading was moderate and prices were unchanged. Rains delayed harvest in Texas. In New Mexico, harvest progressed slowly due to frequent rains. Prices paid per pound for South western Grown peanuts sold on an FOB shipping point basis for prompt shipment were for Spanish Type Shelled Jumbo 40 cents; Number One 38Vi cents; U.S. Splits 33 to 33%, Valencia type handpicked 35.
