Kidd Brewer’s
"RALEIGH ROUNDUP”
OBMuORiATS . . . There is always
a revival at interest and activity
in the Democratic party following
a victory in the National elections.
Thefre ate more jobs to be had
and mote favors' to be gotten.]
This, combined with the fact that
Terry Sanford believes in operat
ing through and in cooperation
with the Party^ whereas hig pre
decessor for the most part ignor
ed the party officials, has brought
about the present high pitch of
of interest. \
The turnout for the Jackson Day
dinner in Raleigh the past week
end indicates that the “brethen
in the field’’ are glad to be in
again. They .went borne to tell their
neighbors that Terry Sanford’s leg
islative program -is rolling alone in
fine shape and that his wishes for
the most, part will be enacted be
fore this summer is over.
SPLIT , . . Much speculation has
been going on lately about the ap
parent parting of the ways of Gov
ernor Sanford and one of his as
sociates from way back in the
Ken: Scott admin stratum.
Henry Grady Shelton, who was
a highway commissioner under
Scott, and active in Sanford's
campaign for governor, has not
gone along with same of Sanford’s
program in the Legislature.
When this sort of thing happens
everyone immediately jumps to
the conclusion that the cause is
something personal. We must re
member that no two people can be
expected to have the same opin
ions on every subject every time.
Our opinion is that Henry Shel
ton is a man who operates oh prin
ciples rather than on personalities,
and will only support his friends
when he believes in the cause pur
sued.
It has been our observation that
most of the governors have ex
pected and demanded that their
friends support their programs re
gardless of the individuals opin
ion.
If Terry Sanford' is willing to
allow for differences of opinions
on the part of his friends he will
keep most of them and make more.
If, on the other hand, he de
mands "consistant agreement, then
he will leave the govemship, un
popular and disappointed. We be
lieve Governor Sanford will fol
low the former course, more so
than most of his predecessors.
THE OLD WELL ... It may sur
prise you, but most members of
(be legislature will tell you that
tbe most potent lobby is not op
erated by private business, but
rather by tbe University of North
Carolina. We will not go into de
tail at this time, but it's a fact.
In view of the above it is bard to
understand why the University has
not secured tbe necessary appro
priation to enable an old grad (and
other thirsty people) to get a drink
of water from The Old Well,' the
famous landmark on tbe Chapel
Hill campus.
One would not expect $o «<nd
the old familiar oak bucket still
operating, but is it too much to
expect to find at least a
spigot with running water? Our
guess is that the majority'of tbe
members of the legislature would
approve a request for funds for
this purpose.
ON AND ON .. “The State ought
either to. see to it that the work
on highway 70 between Durham

That is • (be way; one legislator
from the western part of the state
pot it last week.
“Hie other week-end, on my
way. home I stayed behind a line
of traffic for mile after mile
while to my left was a beautiful
paved road hot being used — and
hot being worked on”, he went
on. “ihe pavement is complete
for the most part on this road, and
it would appear that only a little
more work on the moulders and
landscaping would complete the
work. On my way back to Raleigh,
I got on this new lane and came
all the way to Durham, drove mile
after mile after mile without see
ing any work being done.”
By this time, our friend was re
ally warmed up. “Two years mould
be long enough to complete a
road' once it is started”, our fri
end went on. “It seems that this
stretch of road has been under

since in No. 1 there are 460 white
voters and in No. 2 there are 588
white voters.
On balance it would seem, fair to
theorize that Mrs. HannJjal got
nearly as many white votes as
negro votes. She most assuredly
did not get the 1200 negro votes
she got in 1050. If instead of the
roughly 900 negro votes she did
get this year she had gotten the
same percentage of the negro vote
this year that she did last elect
ion she would have been several
construction flow years. They
ought to complete it, use' it as it
is, or abandon it.”
Our friend was really boiling.
"May we quote you?”, we asked.
“Yes, you may quote me,” but
don’t use my name.”

What Airs. Hannfoal and the
other negro leaders have learned
the hitter way is that once blocs
of vote reach maturity they then
automatically tend to fragment.
