POLLS . . . Scoff at public
opinion polls if you visit, but
major decisions which effect
top personalities and the fate
of the nation are made after
the poll results are in. No
doubt but it was the report
of a public opiooion poll or
polls which caused Governor
George Romney to withdraw
as a Republican candidate for
president, witbout waiting for
the New Hampshire people to
vote.
BRALNWASH. . . Romney
says that he is glad that he
used the word "brainwash"
We admire George Romney
as an honest man and an
honest politician but we just
can't believe him when he
says he is glad that he used
the word "brainwash" some
months ago. When he ad
mitted to having been "brain
washed" he was leading the
field of candidates for the GOP
presidential nomination. Then
his popularity started melting
away like a block of ice on a
hot summer day and despite
his campaigning- -giving it the
best he had, he was never able
to again establish limself as
a strong candidate with a
chance to win over LBJ.
NIXON . . .Rockefeller is
in the race for the GOP Pres
idental nomination but we
would put our two- bits on
Nixon to walk away with the
nomination when the Repub
licans meet in Miami. Nixon,
like Johnson, is a pro in pol
itics and it seems that the
GOP pros are pretty strong
for Nixon.
GEORGE WALLACE . . .
Former Governor George
Wallace could turn out to be
the "kingmaker" insofar as
the next President of the Un
ited States is concerned. Sho
uld Johnson receive 256 elect
oral votes in the November
election and Nixon as the Re
publican candidate 255 elect
oral votes, and George Wal
lace carry three states- -Al
abama, Mississippi and Loui
siana with a total of 27 el
ectoral votes neither Johnson
or Nixon would have a major
ity and according to the U.S.
Constitution the issue would be
decided by the House of Re
presentatives. But, bold your
horses a minute. There is but
very little chance that the
issue would go to the House of
Representatives. The ele
ctoral votes were not cast
on November 5, 1968. The
electors elected In the Gen
eral election ot November 5
*111 meet in their respective
state capitals at a later date
and cast the votes tor pre
sident and vice president. The
electors do not have to vote
tor the candidates being voted
on in the general election,
although it is a general rule
to do so. No doubt the el
ectors lor George Wallace
will be dedicated Wallace
supporters and George Wal
lace could well make a deal
with either Johnson or Nixon
to have his electors vote lor
the one he wished -- either
Johnson or Nixon without the
matter going to the House of
Representatives. And if nei
ther the Democrat or the Re
publican candidate gets a ma
jority of the electoral votes
on November 5 we expect both
to fall over themselves making
concessions to the former
Alabama governor for his el
ectoral votes.
GORDAN AND EDWARDS .
Two outstanding Tarheel cit
izens, long active in politics
and state government
answered the final call last
week-Henry W. Jordan and
Lon Edwards.
Both Edwards and Jor
dan devoted many years to the
upbuilding of North Carolina.
Both were lay leaders in the
Methodist church and both
were what you might call
"middle of the road" leaders
in the Democratic party. Jor
dan gave serious con
sideration to running for gov
ernor to 1952 and again*
1964 During Kerr Scott s
administration Jordan was one
of his right hand men-- ser
ving as State Highway Chair
man. Lon Edwards served
-tor many years in the State
House of Reprsentatives, was
a member of the Advisory
Budget Commission. Presi
dent of the N. C. Farm Bur
eau and many other boards and
commissions. Both Jordan and
Edwards served North Caro
lina well.
