Tar Heel People & llwm.. >
What about Woodrow Jones for governor?
By Cliff Blue
VACUUM ... The death of
Cloyd Philpott has left a vac
cuum in the North Carolina
Democratic political life which
will be hard to fill.
Philpott was way out front
j&s a likely candidate for gover
nor in 1964—as far out as San
ford was this time four years
ago.
Philpott came as near being a
person which all groups could
rally around and support as any
man in Tar Heel political life
today. He was being supported
by both liberals and conserva
tives as all groups held him in
high regard and respect.
It is not likely than another
strong contender will emerge be
fore the 1964 primary who will
attract the support of both the
conservative and liberal ele
ments in the state.
POSSIBILITIES . . . There are
plenty of possibilities on the
horizon who would like to carry
the banner of the Democratic
party in North Carolina in 1964.
Woodrow Jones of Rutherford
County is one of the possibili
ties. Woodrow Jones is an able
man. He represented his county
in the North Carolina House be
fore being elected to Congress j
from the Eleventh District.
And then he served as State
Democratic Party Chairman, suc
ceeding John Larkins. How
ever, Jones is regarded as a
conservative and it is not likely
that the liberal Democrats would
let him get far without formid
able opposition.
And it would be the same way
with a liberal candidate. The
conservative group would not let
him get far without formiable
opposition.
GOP . . . With Philpott as the
leading candidate for governor
on the Democratic ticket, it
would not have been very en
couraging for Charlie Jonas to
have gotten into the race. Now,
it could be more encouraging for
the GOP congressman to set his
sails towards the governor’s man
sion in Raleigh.
AGRICULTURE . . . Speaking
at the first annual Chatham
County Farmers Day in Pittsboro
a few days ago. State Commis
sioner of Agriculture L. Y. Bal
lentine told the group that “the
golden age of agriculture is in
the future.” We feel that
'“Stage” is tight—that agricul
ture’s “golden age” is in the
future—but farming like other
things has made tremendous
progress in the past 20 years.
AUTO LIABILITY RATE . . .
We are very much concerned
about the increased automobile
liability rate.
We have great confidence in
Charlie Gold, State Insurance
Commissioner. He would not
grant a rate increase unless it
were necessary.
The trouble is this: We are
having too many automobile
wrecks, and the insurance
companies are having to pay
too much to get the cars re
paired. Insurance companies
are not too popular with the
public, and they are being
gouged, and the public, the
people with liability insurance
policies are having to pay for
the gouging.
CITE MRS. WHITEFIELD

tive Secretary of the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Merchants Association,

tals certificate from the Institute
