things and then forget it, for

“If you want a president who

“He has asked for a mandate.
He wants 'total trust, total love,

Helms Credits Sanford With
Republican Rise In State
RALEIGH — Raleigh TV com
mentator Jesse Helms of WRAL,
Channel 5, last night named Gov.
Terry Sanfmd as the man who has
done most to promote the rise ot
the Republicans and the ‘two -
party system in North Carolina.
On nis extremely popular tele
cast. “Viewpoint,” Mr. Helms said
that although Gov. Sanford would
no doubt wish to disavow the fact,
he and his organization are “due
the recognition for having led tne
way In churning this State’s po
litical eomplacency into a froth of
uncertainty and confusion, as the
Nov. 3 election nears.
He said Republican gubernator
ial nominee Bob Gavin didn’t have
the problem of dividing the Demo
crats Decause Sanford, his cam
paign manager, Bert Bennett, and
other members of the ultra, left
wing segment of the party did it
lor him.
Mr. Helms blamed it on bitter
ness still brewing in the Sanford
Bennett faction because of the
smashing defeat handed their can
didate, Richardson Preyer, in the
primary.
“Gavin has observed the process
with the amusement and satisfac
tion of the sole beneficiary of a
bountiful inheritance,” said Mr.
Helme, '‘and he has made haste
to move aoout, swiftly and sure
ly, to pica up the marbles scat

Helms, longtime observer of the
N. c. political scene, had high
praise for Democratic gubernator
ial nominee Dan Moore for stick
ing by his guns in remaining “cool
toward the national ticket »f Jo
hnson and Humphrey."
He said Bennett la distressed
aboirt this and also over the fact
that Moore and his aides have
made It e'ear that a visit to N.
C. by Sen. Humphrey is not des
