The Carolina Indian Voice believes it is
our responsiblity as citizens to vote for
the candidates of our choice. In other
words, in spite of what this newspaper
says, or anyone else, vote for whomever
you want to-but vote! To vote is, as we
see it, the one freedom that sets this
country apart from any other. And the
vote guarantees our freedom.
In that vein, we have some editorial
choices, some suggestions, to make.
Whether you agree with our editorial
choices or not is relatively unimportant.

out tt niiput ijuii Uib{ yon vow tot we
imMrlnt ih?i j mi think will best serve
you.
Tbe Sheriff's race is an easy one for us
to editorially comment upon. An Indian.
McDuffie Cummings, is running against
four white candidates. He's competent,
well trained. We believe he would make
a good sheriff. He's our choice, and we
hope he will be yours when you go to the
polls on June 29.
Others in the race are Hubert Stone,
the incumbent; C.A. Brown, Jr.; Jesse
Britt and Luther Sanderson.
There is one District Court Judge race
up for grabs this year. The incumbent,
John S. Gardner, the chief district court
judge, is being challenged by Gary Lynn
Locklear, a private attorney and, for
merly, a member of the district attor
ney's staff.
There has been little rancor in this .
race; Locklear freely admits that he *
thinks highly of Gardner but, as he notes,
there is only one seat. Locklear is
articulate and fair.
We editorially support Locklear for this
important seat; all races need to bey
represented on the district court bcncit. y

bea welcome addition to this position.
We also support Edward Maultsby, a
Black, over incumbent Chalmers Biggs, a
white, in the Conner's race.
The Hoose of Representatives is also
relatively unclouded, editorially speaking
for us too. Two Blacks, Sidney Locks and
Frank "Bishop" McDuffie Jr. are
running for the three seats as well as
Bernard Lowry, a retired Indian educa
tor. Those are our top choices.
But we also like Danny Devane, a
canddiate from Hoke County. He's a
minority, in part too, even though he is
white, because Hoke County cannot elect
a candidate unless Robeson County
elects him. The same goes for Scotland
County wher^ McDuffie is from. But
then we were impressed by Tommy
Wellington's campaign too; and we like
Tracy Britt also.
But there are only three seats up for
grabs. Any of the above would suit us
just fine.
In the Senate race we are supporting
the incumbent. Sam R. Noble, over his
challenger. David R. Parnell. Noble's
record hi working with Indians and
"ks, *s we .see it is Hotter then
Parnetl's record. It's that simple for us.
Some races of special interest to us are
the county commissioner's race in the
Pembroke-Maxton-SmHha District and
the county board of education races.
We are not taking a stand editorially in
any of these races. It would be counter
productive. In most instances Indians are
running against Indians. We try out best
not to make Indians mad. unless we can'
not get out of it. We can get out of it in all
of these contests.
In the County Commissioner's race.
