Page 6-B Letter To The Editor TtSi it is a terrible shame that the people did not get out and vote like they should have in the resent election. Hiat is the one right we still have, but who knows how long we will have this right. When people say they are too busy or they forgot to go vote that shows their lack of interest in what is going on around them. When people don’t vote for the person of their choice they are silently voting for the person that wins whether they want that person in office or not. People say, well my one vote doesn’t matter. Every vote matters. It looks like more than 50 per cent of the registered voters in the county didn’t care enough to exercize their right to vote. When only 46.6 per cent took time to go to the polls, 53.4 per cent of the registered voters did not vote. I don’t know when the people in this county will wake up and be concerned enough to care what is happening around them. Then when things go wrong they are ready to criticise. If people don’t express their views when they have a chance and things don’t go the way they think they should they should keep quiet. The coalition kept slipping into the town government little by little until they finally got control. They have been working on the county government for sometime now. So it looks like they have a pretty good hold on it. When the opponents already had 600 to 700 votes guaranteed before they even filed for office. The ones already in had to have that many just to be even. Then the unconcerned people didn’t care enough to go vote. It is too late now, but please get involved and concerned the next time an election comes up. If the unconcerned doesn’t get concerned they are going to wake up one day and it is going to be too late, and they can’t do a thing about it. Because we will be over powered. I can’t understand how one person in the county can dominate most of the elected people and others. But it is happening right here in our county and town. When other people don’t go along with what this person says then they are pressured out of office. Be election board or whatever board they might be on.

He picked the right issue to do it with...l mean, really, who’s gonna speak out against keeping the two-year term?” That conversation took place in a Raleigh eatery last week concerning two potential candidates for governor of North Carolina in 1984, Tom Gilmore of Guilford County and Eddie Knox of Charlotte. Those at the table never considered for a moment that Gilmore would not run-as Knox is already naming. One of the conversants at the table, a member of the Hunt administration, probdbly has mixed emotions about a race pitting Knox and Gilmore against one another. Both of the ipen (Knox and Gilmore) go back a long way with Governor Hunt. As friehds and classmates at N.C. State, the trio main tained an iron grasp on campus politics-Hunt and Knox alternated years as the student body president. Later, they moved gracefully into the hardball of North Carolina’s Young Democrats.
