--, *-:
weary campaigner lor cov
er nor Woos Lake Support
ers During Short Address
Here Friday
Dan Moore, speaking for a little
more than five minutes; during a
visit to Granville late Friday af
ternoon, made a firm appeal for
support in his campaign for gov
ernor, telling his audience, many
of them from the former Lake
camp, that their support of his
candidacy “would help to give the
pecple of North Carolina the kind
of government they deserve.”
Moore and his party arrived here
from Henderson and the candidate
and his wife, with the latter es
corted by Granville Co-Manager
Tom Allen and the former by Co
Manager Wills Hancock, were
greeted by a cheering, standing
ovation by the large crowd of men
and women who had waited for
mere than an hour.
Mrs. Moore, presented oy Han
cock as “the next first lady of
North Carolina,” spoke briefly fol
lowing a prayer by Allen. She said
the Moore party had experienced
“a warm, wonderful reception” in
the swing through Eastern North
Carolina, where 15-25 stops had
been made each day.
She said a “mountain delega
tion” of friends had been traveling
with the party and that they had
been inspired by what they had
seen in Eastern North Carolina.
“They are going home today to
work harder and with new inspira
tion for the nomination of Dan K.
Moore in the party primary on
May 27,” she said. Moore carried
the mountain counties almost , sol
Presented by Hancock as "a man
like you and me,” Moore appeared
confident, but weary from a stren
uous week of intensive campaign
ing in territory which voted strong,
ly May 33 for Dr. I. B. Lake.
Taking cognizance of the pres
ence of Lake’s Granville County
campaign force at the rally here,
Moore praised Dr. Lake’s stability
and integrity and told Lake's for
mer supporters “You can gain the
objectives you voted for in Dr.
Lake and gain good government
in North Carolina and be a part of
that administration” by supporting
Dan K. Moore in the June 27 pri
mary.
Moore said he had been accused
of attempting to destroy North
Carolina’s road program. His an
swer was that he wants to work
for and achieve a full measure of
worth for every dollar spent for
roads in North Carolina and he
said this can best be achieved by a
system of competitive bidding on
the large construction jobs.
He had no plan, he said, for
changing the utilization of road
maintenance forces of the state.
Moore pledged his best efforts in
keeping North Carolina advancing
in the realm of schools, highways,
job opportunities and farming. He
invited any who have question
about his program or policies to
visit him for a sit-down session and
discussion.
Brooks Harris of Henderson,
auctioneer, concluded the meeting
with a chanting song calling for a
total of 19 Granville County pre
cincts for Moore in the June 27
primary.
