Boyette May Contest Constitution ali ty Of 44Anti-Single Shot "Voting Law The "ami-single-shot" vot ing law provides that a voter must cast his vote for as many candidates as there are offices to be filled. In Saturday's primary, there were three candidates running to fill two vacancies on the Board of Education. In some precincts of the county, nearly naif of the ballots cast had to be disqualified because the voter had voted for only one candidate instead of two as in structed on the ballot, "Vote for Two." The law provides that if a voter votes for any number fewer than the number of offices to be filled, his ballot can not be counted for any of the group candidates for party nom ination. This law applies to Duplin and 21 other counties in the State but is not a Statewide law. Dr. Edward L. Boyette of Chinquapin, one of the candid ates for the Democratic nomin ation for member of the Board of Education, while finding no fault with the Board of Elections in the administration of the Law, points out in a letter to the board that this law possibly for ces a voter to vote for a can didate not of his choice in order to be able to vote for a candid ate of his choice. He disagrees with the wisdom of the law and in the fact that it includes only 22 counties in the state, permit ting people in the other 78 coun ties to vote their choice without stich restrictions. Dr. Boyette concludes his let ter td the Board of Elections. "The Duplin County Board or Elections has carried out its duties according to the law men tioned above. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to in form the board that action through the courts if necessary will be taken to determine if the "ami-single-shot" law is con stitutional In the Board of Education contest Saturday, D.D. Blanch ard of Wallace received 3386 votes, James J. Albertson of Beulaville had 2433 and Dr. Edward L. Boyette of Chinqua pin received 2422 votes.

All of you will always be re membered by Grove Church and the people of Kenansvllle. I will say, that if anyone went away hungry, it was his own fault, because there was so much wonderful food. I heard of three Presbyterian stoves that broke down during the week and ?mine was one of them.

The race issue became a part of the campaign for the second Democratic guber natorial primary, just as it did in 1960.

Moore told the Duplin Times Progress Sentinel that "My opponent in the second pri mary owes his lead and owes a major part of his entire vote to the bloc Negro vote in North Carolina. That is his 'go for ward;' that is his 'mainstream' vote, and it hangs like a mill stone around his neck today." The bis question is hwere will the 206 thousand supporters of Dr. Lake turn.
