for governor since 1944, gave this
bit of advice lo the other candi
dates last week: "Don't take the
campaign so damned serious; only
one of you is going to be governor
anyhow."
Mayne Albright is receiving a
great deal of support throughout
the state from Carolina alumni . .
and virtually every college in
North Carolina has, or is forming,
an Albright for governor organiza
tion . . . these clubs are being led
by veterans . . . Time was, when
college students had little voting
strength because of their youth
but now most of the men are vet
erans and they are turning to Al
bright. Although Charlie Johnson claims
he is not a machine man, every
speaker of the house for the past
12 years, is supporting him, and
two of them are managing his
campaign.
A .year ago when Kerr Scott
brought the dairy products boys in
line so as to provide the state with
high standard milk, they threat
ened to "beat that man if he runs
for commissioner of agriculture
again'' . . . but Scott moved
straight ahead with his program
. . . Now virtually all of them, in
cluding George Coble of Lexing
ton, are supporting him for gov
ernor . . . not because they like
him, but iK'cause he renewed the
public's confidence in the dairy industry.
