water mark, as returns from

1 returns changed matters very
little as in that relatively large
precinct Fair received 75 votes
tp Haithcock's 74.
With only three precincts to
be heard from Fair's lead was
cut to less than sixty, and
watchers familiar with voting
trends over the county, began
to claim that Haithcock would
win the election. Returns
from two of these townships
put Haithcock in the lead by
15 votes. Still Roanoke remain

that enough votes would be
cast to overcome Haithcock's
lead, and it was likely that
Haithcock would be the winner
in that precinct. But one could
not be certain.
Fair in the office here with
Haithcock said, "I woUaed

Haithcock claimed that the
vote would be light and that
he would carry the precinct.
But still no returns from Roa

Finally around 9 o'clock
Fair conceded the nomination

Haithcock said, "I was scared;
