in the Sandhills recently when he

REPUBLICANS
(Continued from page 1)
hurst. Mrs. Robert C. Heyl led
the singing of the National An
them as the rally began and Miss
Sylvia Thompson, daughter oI
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge Thompson
of Pinebluff, closed the program
with the singing of “America the
Beautiful’’ and a novelty song on
“Nixon the Man We Need,’’ to the
tune of “Oh, Susanna,” in which
the audience joined.
Deriding what he called the
Democrats’ claim to 60 years of
stable government, Mr. Harring
ton said it could more rightly be
called “a stable for plug mules.”
He said that despite the Dem
ocrats’ leadership, the state has
low ratings in average earnings,
per capita income, bank deposits,
education, public health and wel
fare services and the number of
hospital beds.
Yet, he pointed out. North Car
olina’s aggravated assault rate is
200 per cent of the national ave-
lage.
The candidate said that he did
not wish to run down the state,
citing its large population and
inany resources.
■‘We have the people and the
lesources to correct the state’s
low position in every phase of
government achievement,” he
said.
He said he was running on this
platform:
Revision of the 92-year-old
state Constitution which has been
amended 135 times.
Mandatory reapportionment of
legislative districts.
Veto power for the Governor.
Relieving the legislature of the
need to deal with “local bills.”
(“The people at home can take
care of this business and do it less
expensively,” he said.) ■
■Tax reform measures to provide
incentives for enterprise and in
cluding elimination of the intan
gibles tax.
An increase of teachers’ salaries
“within the limits of sound fiscal
management.”
More emphasis on basic sub
ject matter in the schools.
A continuation of the industrial
development program, designed
to raise the level of income.
This program, he said, can be
accomplished by a governor and
council of state and men in the
General Assembly “who have in
telligence, initiative and
strength.”
Mr. Pethick, county commis
sioner candidate, said he would be
glad to live in a state that had
“government of, by, and for the
people, not of by and for the
Democrats.” •
He said that North Carolina
needs a two-party system and
that every Southern state is “dis
contented with old and worn-out
one-party rule.”
He said that he stands for these
changes in county government:
Closer cooperation between the
commissioners and the board of
education, and between these
boards and other county agencies.
Better handling of welfare
cases sent to the hospitals of the
county. (“It seems to be done now
on a day by day, hand to mouth
basis,” he said.)
Long-range planning in county
government.
More publicity givdn to the
county’s business, including pub
lication of the county budget in
lull.
Encouraging public attendance
at commissioners’ meetings.
I
' Mr. Pethick said that if he is
elected he will attend the Insti
tute of Government at Chapel
Hill and make a study of county
government, to better qualify
himself for office.
“Socialists want the federal
government to take over the
schools,” charged Mr. Troutman,
board of education candidate, re
jecting federal aid to schools com
pletely.
Advocates of such aid, he said,
are “either not very honest or not
very bright.” Once such aid is al
lowed, he said, “control of the
schools will go to bureaucrats and
politicians.”
Control of the schools can be
retained, he said, by taking more
interest in the schools and the
way they are run.
“No state is too poor to provide
the schools that state needs,” he
asserted.
Federal aid of any sort encour
ages people ,to lean on it, he said,
and “destroys thrift, incentive,
private enterprise and indepen
dence.”
Mr. Troutman charged “lack of
interest in education on the part
of state officers,” noting that
North Carolina ranks 43rd among
the states in public education, that
a quarter of the state’s people
cant’ read or write and that
“thousands of high school gradu
ates haven’t mastered elementary
education.”
A two-party system, he said,
would provide the competition
that would help to correct this sit
uation in education.
MANY ENTER

be limited to 100 teams of two.
Play wjill be over the Pine
Needles and Southern Pines
Country Club courses and each
team entered will play each
course twice, including the qual
ifying round which serves to set
u-D the various flights. The Mid,
Pines Club withdrew its course
from the Carousel this year be
cause of a conflicting golf event.
‘‘This year we are getting our
contestants from ■ a wider area
than ever before,” Ruggles said.
“We already have approximately
83 teams entered and the mem
bers come from the East, the Mid-
West and South—from Canada to
Florida—an indication that the
Carousel is the greatest booster
for our area.’!
GOP RALLY
(Continued from page 1)
tion great.”
The Democratic platform he de
scribed as “a massive vote of no
confidence in the life of our fore
fathers, promising sugar-coated
and honey-dipped goodies to
every pressure group in the Unit
ed States.” He said the minimum
cost of the platform’s pledges
would be $13 billion per year. The
“cruelest hoax in the platform,”
I he said, “is that everywhere it ap-
I pears that the other fellow is go-
I ing to pay the bill—but it is the
average man who is going to have
to pay.”
I The speaker warned Southern
' Democrats against placing faith in
! Senator Johnson, the Democratic
ivice Presidential candidate, in
fluencing the Presidential candi
date, Senator.Kennedy. He point- j
ed out that they had voted “on!
opposite sides” 238 times in sev
en years.
“Those in the South who rely on
Johnson to keep their boy. Jack
Kennedy, straight may have a
rude awakening,” he said.
In contrast, he cited Nixon’s
plan to make Lodge, the Repub
lican Vice Presidential candidate
the coordinator of all activities in
the field of foreign policy, if the
Republicans ticket is elected.
Mr. Bennett denied the Demo
cratic charge that the nation is
losing prestige abroad, citing the
election of a pro-American presi
dent in Brazil, and said that the
Democrats’ advocacy of lower in
terest rates would create an infla
tion that would create loss of con
fidence in American money and
thus would do more than anything
that has been done to lower the
nation’s, prestige. He said that
Elhrushchev’s recent failure in the
U. N. in all he sought to do prov
ed United States prestige.
The speaker attacked Senator
Kennedy’s record as a legislator,
saying he has missed many com
mittee meetings, as Vill as 331
of 1,128 roll call votes since he has
been a Senator, “excluding the
days he was out while ill.”
Senator Kennedy, Adlai Stev
enson and other Democrats have
said that the nation is in dan
ger of losing its national purpose
and that more of the “national
product” should be poured into
government, Mr. Bennett assert
ed.
Answering this charge, he said
that the gross national product
under Republican government
had risen from $347 billion to $503
billion and that there is no great
er national purpose than that to
which the Republican party as
pires, as summed up in the pre
amble to the Constitution: “To
promote the general welfare and
to preserve the blessings of lib
erty to ourselves and our poster
ity.”
He concluded with an appeal
to his listeners to vote on Novem
ber 8.
“You can let the country slide
— — (-
into the swamp of socialism,” he
said, “but if you W2uit your chil
dren to live as free, individual cit
izens, you will haVe to vote and
bring as many as you can to the
polls with you.”
Mr. Bennett spent most of the
day prior to the rally being
shown around the county by Mr.
Harrington and meeting county
Republican leaders.
