The facts are that most of the more astute political observers here believe that McDonald and Lumpkin, running together on an independent, anti-sales tax, anti-corporation and "big business’’ platform might not on ly travel a long way towards winning the nominations for governor; and lieutenant governor next June, but might actually win it. “It i 3 true that to the average per son in North Carolina it would not seem very likely that McDonald and Lumpkin could defeat su«n outstand ing candidates as Clyde R.
