during the Democratic Primary
election last Saturday, to discov
er just how cosmopolitan the
community is.
Eligible voters here include
persons born in each of the 100
counties of North Carolina ex

except Nevada and in 4? foreign

! 2nd Primary Seems
[Assured 'For Sheriff
Broad well Has
Not Declared
On Board Test
A second primary in the hotly
contested race for Sheriff of
Orange County seemed virtually
assured last night, but no indica
tion was yet available as to wheth,
or a second run-off would be called
in the race for the fifth seat of the
Board of County Commissioners.
(The official canvass of votes bv
the Board of Elections yesterday
brought little change in the tenta.
five results compiled on election
night from unofficial precinct rc
ports. The complete election:;
scoreboard may be found on this
page.
Ilcptrty Sheriff Frank Maddry
advised the News by telephone
that he would call for a second
primary when he was appraised of
the official vote following the Van
vass. Ife' has until Sunday to notify
the Board of Elections in writing
of his intentions.
H. Broadwell, sixth man in the
commissioners' contest, said Tues
day night he had not decided whe
ther he would seek a runoff or not
with ,Dwight Ray of Carrbord, who
polled 37 more votes in the Sat
urday election. ~
The victim of a heart attack j
on Way 10, the 50-year-old veteran
law' enforcement officer declared
that he was “still in the running”,
although he d have to stay quietly
in bed another week, and probably
wouldn’t be able to do any active
campaigning around the county
personally in the second election
he’s calling
| At his home in the nearby O*
1 ange f’htirch community last night
Mr Maddry expressed his appro
I elation to the 1,993 persons who
! voted for him lie trailed Mr. Clay
ton by 441 votes. His wile said she
expected him to tie "out and on
the go in a fc\y' weeks.”.
“Dr Manning, (his physician)
said that though his attack wasr^l
severe he was going to treat him
as though it had been, said Mrs.
Maddry. “So that's why he’s let
ting him build up his activities
gradually.”.
Neither of the two run-off can
didates got any public support last
right from Charles W. Johnston,
the Chapel-Hill service station op
ibex mu passed in the vot
jing Mr Johnston, who polled 1.330
votes, said he wouldn’t hack either
of the two remaining aspirants to
| the sheriff’s job—for the time be
i ing, at least.

Lanier, Walker,
Hobbs, Efland,
Hayes Elected
The predicted 8,000 voters went
to the polls last Saturday and cast
their votes about as expected in
the Democratic Primary.
Four nominees won clear-cut
majorities in the race for the flve
olace board of county commission
ers. A woman candidate for Regis
ter of Deeds piled up a heavy ma
jority over her. male opponent.
And, in the race for sheriff, the
hottest of them all in this elec
tion, the leading candidate wound
up with 40 percent of the votes but
considerably.short of a majority
over his three opponents.
In the tension - packed race for
the United States Senate, area
voters Rave the expected heavy
.majority to the Haw' River squire,
W Kerr Scott -over his major op
ponent, Senator Alton Lennon.
Scott vote in. the county’s 19 pre
cincts was 4.062 as compared to
Lennon’s 1,575. •
Congressman Carl T. Durham
encountered only token opposition
in piling up a 4,925 to 704 deci
sion over H. C. Sprinkle in the
same 16 precincts.
Greatest interest locally was In
(he races faf Sheriff and County
Commissioner. Frank C. Maddry,
victim of a scries of heart attacks
in (he closing weeks of his cam
paign, still managed to poll 1,993
votes from his Watts Hospital sick
bed to rob Odell H. Clayton of
Hillsboro of a majority. Clayton
received 2,434 vqtefin the 19 pre
cincts. with ITfHe Tnore than to
ken support in the Chapel Hill pre
cincts where Maddry and Charles
Johnston, local service station op
erator, were the favorites. Maddry
led in Chapel Hill *1, 2 and 4 and
Johnston and Chapel Hill 3 and 5.
t'arrboro almost doubled its vote
for Maddry over hisT three oppon
ents.
Second Commissioner Primary
The mathematical possibility of
a second primary in the five-man
race for county commissioner is
also present.
Mayor Kdwin S. Lanier polled
the highest vote in the field of 12
candidates to win an easy majori
\ ty- and the nomination.. Henry S.
Walker, of St. Mary’s, R. J. M.
| Hobbs of chapel Hill, and Sim L.
j Kfland of Kfland also won major
| ties in their contests for seats on
■the fivi'man board which is being
elected this year for the first
time Dwight M. Ray of Carr boro
nosed out H. Broadwell of Hills'
..boro, fur fifth place, but was just
short of a majority , giving the
latter the opportunity to call for
a second primary runoff with Ray
should he desire. ^
“The vote Tof the top .six in the
commissioner’s race was; Lanier
3132. Walker 2,978, Hobbs 2.670,
Kfland 2.497. Ray 2308. and Broad
well, 2.361. Donald M. Stanford
and Hugh M. Wilson, both natives
and residents of the southern part
>f the county ran seventh and
eighth respectively. A vote of 2,401
f constituted a majority in the com
| nissioners.’ race.
Close observers of the political
| cenc say there is little likelihood
; hat Broadwell would seek a sec
| md primary if there were no other,
aces. With virtually no likelihood
■ X i second primary on the State
tuest fur a second election, which ^
i would have to be held on June 26
s said to be mounting in many
".arts of the county. In any event
n view of his physical condition.
Sis chance of arousing enough in
terest in a single contest to over
come Clayton’s heavy lead is said
<• be slight, according to political
observers.
