Moore's smashing triumph in the Democratic primary runoff for nomination as governor is a dramatic change of direction in North Carolina politics- - -in at least two ways. For the first time in many a year, a mcr from the Western Moun tain Region has earned a command ing endorsement across the state. Judge Moore ha Is from Canton, in the heretofore forgotten region west of Asheville, and Buncombe County. Perhaps this signals a lessen ing of the sectional division which hos given the political leaders from other areas nearly a monopoly in the governor's office. The Democratic voters in these two western counties of Cherokee and Clay showed their frim loyalty to Judge Moore's leadership with 94% and 86% respectively. The whole western region endorsed the 'mountain man' with a 66% vote. He and our counties are to be congratulated for such unity in his cau se. The other change very well could have significance outside of North Carolina. North Carolina has developed a reputation for electing liberal mind ed executives. Governor Terry San ford, for example, was the most liberal of the four Democrats who ran four years ago. Mr. Moore's opponent, L. Rich ardson Preyer, had a definite liberal image. He had the vigorous backing of Governor Sanford, who would be assumed to carry all the state's political power on that side. Dan K. Moore came out with nearly a two hundred thousand vote margin over Preyer. This is a tre mendous majority mandate. Moore had the backing of first primary op ponent, I Beverly Lake, in the runoff. The Judge has given credit to Lake, a segregationist and runoff opponent of Sanford's four years ago, for his help in Saturday's over vUielming victory. North Carolina seems to have taken a firm step toward the middle of the political road. Some will see this as a hint that mcry other Ameri can citizens are likely to move in this direction also. What this middle of the road endorsement by North Carolina vot ers in the cast, Piedrront, and West fortells for the November elect ion, state and national, will be studied anxiously and discussed widely during the next four months. Moore now faces Robert L. Gavin, the unsuccessful Republican opponent of Governor Sanford four years ago, in the November election. SEVEN LEFT HOMELESS - Mr. and Mrs. Julius Young and their five children were left homeless Tuesday, June 30, 12:30 p.m., when fire destroyed their two story frame house on the Harshaw Farm here in Murphy. The fire, of an undertermined origin, could not be brought under control by the Murphy Volunteer Fire Department due to the limitation of the 600 gallon water capacity carried on the truck, however most of the furniture was saved.
