However, contributing most significantly to the write-in campaign seems to be the no-win situation blacks see in an election between Valentine and Marin. Said one caucus member, "We're talking about two Republicans here. There isn't any difference between Valentine and Marin. So we have no other choice but to write in Michaux's name." Michanx said he woukL not?encourage a?write-in campaign, but added that _ <<if that?s the Win of the r>t the NecoivdDistrict, I certainly can't fight it." Shortly after the election, Michaux said his campaign ?debts would not allow him to financially support a tl/rt t O tW> niivv-itt campaign.

"If I decide to run for something in two years," Michaux said, "and even if Tdidn't get-any help from the Democratic Party, I would still be a Democrat." But if the caucus has its way, Michaux won't have to wait two years. It plans to get him elected this year. Caucus chairman Frank W. Ballance, a Warrenton lawyer, appointed a "write-in" and a fundraising committee to help the effort go smoothly. The write-in committee will conduct workshops designed to inform voters of the write-in procedures in their counties. The committee will also hold meetings fir~cfiurcfles and other places to drum up support for the write-in effort. Another goal of the write-in committee will be to contact national black political leaders, asking them to speak on Michaux's behalf throughout the Se I r-*-- vi? cunu L/isiriti. iNames mentioned included the NAACP's Benjamin Hooks and Operation PUSH's Jesse Jackson.

"I don't think this would be in the best interest of the people," Drummond says. Fred Hauser, a white candidate who placed first in the Democratic primary for the county commission, says that if the "cross-section" of candidates now running for positions as commissioners and school board members ? 11 .1 .-j ?? aicu i an ciccieu, mere win be a need for change. "I think we have the best cross-section of candidates that we've ever had," says Hauser, a board of county commissioners incumbent. "We've got a good selection of black candidates, male and female_and-'good white candidates, male and female." Hauser says local Democrats have the opportunity to "show people will nominate the best (qualified candidates, and we should not vote on the basis of age of sex." One disadvantage of a ward system would be that officials would only represent a small percentage of the county, Hauser says, but "if we don't elect our (the Democratic) candidates, then I would favor a ward system." gTiffmTCWW K UtM ^ Or; | ^jM m S**Am Ji am/ay*, "<[Bu?C *0 tOwSy? l 'V>?l >M?i 0/ > BP ? ^TlUtO '?OM IMt( ^1 **&! ^ .J - , ' . A MMMMMMMMMtMflltMttMMMftttMttlllltlHMtll Mazic Woodruff, the lone black candidate for county commissioner who placed second in the Democratic primary, says there is a need to broaden the nature of county representation. She calls for additional representation for blacks and women on the school board and additional representation as well from Winston-Salem on the board of county commissioners. "With Winston-Salem having the largest population (in Forsyth County), we should have more than one commissioner," Woodruff says. As far as a ward system is concerned, Woodruff says she would like to serve "the whole population of Forsyth County, and this could be be so, even if we had districts, because you would have to cooperate~witirypuf fellow commissioners, and we would have to have that cooperation in order to keep Forsyth County growing. " Woodruff says there is a need to be "realistic" and realize the county is-growing. "We have to have some mechanism for Tiit-sectionsof the population to be represented," she says. years from now, 1 think we need to be planning.
