Eure Hits Termites In Party North Carolina Secretary of State Thad Eure lashed out at ao called "termites" from without the Democratic Party before a capacity crowd at the annual Franklin County Demo cratic Banquet here Saturday night'. Speaking to an estimated 250 persons In attendance at the $5 a plate affair, Eur* stated that "the Democratic party U suffering from termites from within and without," and urged the return of party loyalty. The "termites from without" are the Republicans, said Eure, once described by a GOP of ficial as "the meanest Demo crat In the state." He described the "termites from within" as person "who prefer to reap all the benefit* of the name 'Democrat' and yet lend aid and comfort and votes" to the Republlcan party. "What can you say about these people?" Eure asked. "They are nothing moreorlesa than termites- eating out our foundations." Eure recalled that In his last bid for re-election, "367,000 Republicans voted for a man who had been dead five months rather than vote for me." He added with a touch of sarcasm: " How 1 do love them." Eure continued: "But we have to contend with them, we have to fight them, we mSet them on every road we travel. We are traveling a tougher road, so we must wage a better battle." Public announcements of can didacy by Democrats planning to run for governor In 1964 are long overdue, Eure also stated. With the filing deadline only 12 months away, the absence of definite candidates Is unprec edented and a waste of valuable time, he said. * "There has been speculation, and sorrje names have been called, but the Individuals have" not spoken. We have not seen that before in North Carolina." Political talks has been "mainly a matter of saying. 'Jonas Is a good man/ " Eure said In reference to Republican Congressman Charles R. Jonas of Llncolnton. %. ? J "The best way to bulid up the opposition Is to Join In this kind of talk," Eure said. "I won't do It. I'm looking for a man for my candidate, for my party's candidate."
