Scotty Reston and Walter
Lippmdn, The News offers
Squire Wilson’s analysis of
last Saturday’s Democratic
primary balloting,) ^
By HUGH M. WILSON
Analysis of Saturday’s Demo
cratic Primary election brings
1
to light many factors, such as;
The strength of the Chapel
Hill Township vote and the queer
mathematical effects of voting
in a three-place race.
The results of the efforts of
the anti-rural zoning committee.
The re-emergence of the Lake
machine.
The newly-successftit entry of
a Chapel Hill business bloc as
a factor in County politics.
And the maintained strength
of the Sanford people within the
Democratic party organization.
The official vote was Smith
3,793, Cleveland 8,03*, MeDade
3,028, Walker 2.834, Kennedy 2,
748, and Jones 2,164. Since
Smith, Cleveland and MeDade
aU received more than the 2,935
votes necessary for a majority,
they were declared nominated.
The strength of the Chapel Hill
i township vote
is shown, by
the tact that
j Smith received
; 62-6 percent or
! his votes
j there, Cleve
land 85 per
i cent, and Mc
Dade 61.8 per
cent. Walker
got 48 percent Wilson
! in Chapel Hill while Kennedy,
; high in the rest of the county,
polled only 33.8 percent, and
Jones SI percent.
] The answer is clear — Chapel
| Hill has the voting muscle. It
' nominated Cleveland and con
tributed heavily to the nomina
tion of Smith and MeDade, as
well as to the vote of Walker,
the fourth place man, and of
Jones. ‘
