General Note*
Voters at the polls for the May 8
primary will see on the ballots only the
names of those candidates who face
opposition--and they are mostly Demo
crats.
There are many other offices up for
election. But wtien a candidate has no
opposition within his own party, he is
automatically considered the nominee
and his name is placed only on the
general election ballot in November.
Candidates who win Tuesday earn the
right to represent their party in the
November general election.
For instance, voters will have to wait
until November to see President Ronald
Reagan listed as the Republican party
standard bearer in his bid for another
term as President.
Here are sample ballots of the
state-wide candidates running, as well as
the ballot for the Democratic shoot out
for the Presidential nomination.
DIAL VS. ROSE
Incumbent Congressman Charlie Rose
is being challenged by Pembroke Indian
Tommie Dial for the Democratic no
mination in the 7th Congressional
District race.
Dial has chastised the press for not
presenting his issues in the campaign
and has called Congressman Rose a "one
topic candidate" who works primarily for
the preservation of the tobacco program,
according to a report in Wednesday's
Fayetteville Observer.
Bom responded. proud at what
I've been able to accomplish in Congress
...and 1 believe i have gained the
reputation of one who knows how to work
with his colleagues and knows how to get
.things done."
Rose. 44, is fifth in seniority on the
Important Agriculture Committee, and is
chairman of its subcommittee on Peanuts
and Tobacco.
Dial. noted as a creative force in
the Lumbee community, was the first
executive director of Lumbee Regional
Development Association, and was the
seeming originator of the concept of what
has developed as Lumbee Bank.
Although unsuccessful in a 1966 bid
tor (he s^te hpuag, Dial, ran a cnglitaMe
utmpMtgji juut .showed tnafa r.'inon?
candidate could be reputable in a
campaign beyond the boundaries of
Robeson County.
Governor's Race Crowded
Nearby Sampson County native Lauch
Faircloth is one of six in the Democratic
field considered "serious contenders,"
who have attracted endorsements, fi
nancial contributions and large percen
tages in statewide polls.
The others with a fighting chance At
the nomination are Attorney General
Rufus Edmisten, former state Rep. Tom
Gilmore. Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green, Insur
ance Commissioner John Ingram and ,
former Charlotte Mayor Eddie Knox.
Candidates who have not captured as
much attention but nevertheless claim
they will win the primary and then the
general election are Love Valley resident
Andy Barker, the Rev. Robert Hannon of
Greensboro, Dover resident J.D. Whaley
and Glenn Miller of Angier. leader of the
Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
The choices are far easier for
Republican voters. The GOP primary
Morganton dietician Ruby Hooper is
challenging Rep Jim Martin, R-NC, in
what is expected to be a landslide victory
for the six- term Congressman from
Iredell County.
A final candidate facing no primary
opposition is Libertarian Party Hopeful
Fritz Prochnow of Apex.
Local Indians attend Conference
The Sth National Indian and Native
American Employment and Training
Conference was held in Nashville,
Tennessee, April 23-27, at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel.

was "A New Beginning" which indicates

Employment and Training Act (CETA) to
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA).
The highlight of the conference was the

Oglala Sioux, born in Pine Ridge, South
Dakota. Billy Mills won 1964 Olympics'
10,000 meter run in Tokyo. Japan. He is
presently associated withthe Billy Mills
Leadership Institute (A division of
Institute for Career and Vocational
Training)
Wednesday night, prior to the Ban
quet Thursday night, the premier
showing of the movie "Running Brave"
starring Bobby Benson as Billy Mills was
presented. Prior to his presentation at
the banquet Thursday night the last five
minutes of the actual 1964 race was
shown on screen to the audience.
Billy Mills closed with the following
statement: "The greatest degree of
competition is not for me to compete
against you. or you against me. but for
each of us to reach within the depths of
our capabilities and perform to the
greatest of our potential."
