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.
