People & Issues
, ALBERT COATES... Albert
Ciaates, another one of North"
Carolina's great contemporary
citizens has just written and
published a very interesting
202 page paper back book
"What The University of North
Carolina Meant to Me.".
Coates, founder and
longtime Director of the
Ii$itute of Government and
noa^Profes6or Emeritus, Law
School The University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
a native of Johnston County,
led off his book with a
down-to-earth chapter on
"What Smithfield and
Johnston County Meant to
Me."
What we want to say is that
in our opinion it is about time
for someone to write a book
on "What Albert Coates Has
Meant to the University of
North Carolina And The State
as a Whole.".
Albert Coates as Director of
the Institute of Government at
Chapel Hill has contributed
greatly , to law and order and
justice and good government in
North Carolina.
LEE COUNTY... We hear
rumors that Bob Gavin of
Sanfoid who ran twice for
governor on the Republican
ticket may be interested in
carrying the banner again in
1972. In 1960 when he ran
against Terry Sanford he polled
613,975 to Sanford's 735,248
votes, and in 1964 he polled
606,165 to Dan Moore's
790,343. In 1968 Gavin
supported Nixon for the GOP
presidential nomination while
Jim Gardner was trying to lead
the state's delegation into the
Reagan camp which gives
Gavin dose working ties with
the white house in Washington.
With C&D Director Roy
Sowers, also of Sanford being
mentioned as a possible
candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, it
would not be beyond the
stretch of imagination for Lee
County which is near the heart
of the state, to provide the two
major gubernatorial candidates
In 1972.
JIM GARDNER...Some
people are beginning to fed
that Jim Gardner will be trying
again in 1972 to win the GOP
gubernatorial nomination. If
so, chances are that he will not
win it as handily as he did in
1968 over Jack Stickley, who
in our opinion might well have
run a stronger race in the fall
than Gardner did.
GENE SIMMONS...Bob
Scott picked well when he
tapped Gene Simmons as the
man to ( succeed Jimmy
Johnson as Chairman of the
State Democratic Executive
Committee. He is able, steeped
in politics and comes from the
East which has been the pillar
of the Democratic Party since
the turn of the century but
which is recent years has
shown signs of discontent.
WILBUR D. MILLS...Rep.
Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas
who has frequently visited
North Carolina to speak in
behalf of Democratic
candidates for Congress in
being prominently memtioned
as a successor to House
Speaker John McCormick if
the 79-year old Massachusetts
Democratic should decide not
to seek another term as House
Speaker.
We think that Wilbur Mills
would not only make a good
House Speaker but that he
would make a good candidate
for president on the
Democratic ticket in 1972. He
is one man on capitol hill in
Washington who has his feet on
the ground and has a sense of
fiscal responsibility.
L.V. SUTTON...Louis V.
Sutton who died in Raleigh last
week at the age of 80 gave
progressive and powerful
leadership to the Carolina
Power & Light Company for
36 years, seeing the company
grow from 62,600 customers
to 530,000 customers and
from 321,000 to 3,000,000
kilowatts of generating
capacity. He has vision and
ability. Named Man of the
Year in 1966 by Dixie Business
Magazine, he was one of the
great business and utility
leaders of the nation.
