five-county race with slightly
under 21 per cent.
The totals: Gilmore 12,331;
King, 9,008; J. F. (Jeff) Allen
of Montgomery, 8,018; John W.
Covington, Jr., of Rishmond,
7,363; and incumbent Joe Sink
of Davidson, 6,695.
A clear majority would be
anything over the figure of
10,850, topped easily by Gil
more but undershot by King,
giving Allen the privilege of
calling for a runoff.
With each man leaning heav
ily in his own county, the
number of “second places”
proved decisive. With 3,167
votes in Moore, Gilmore came
in second in Richmond, Scot
land and Davidson Counties
and a close third in Montgom
ery.
While it was known that in
the reapportioned district, one
of the three incumbent sena
tors would have to bow. Sen
ator Joe Sink’s low standing
at the bottom of the list proved'
a shocker. His county of Da
vidson, with 44 of the total 102
precincts, is by far the most
populous in the district.
