Why Neath Carolina May Vote Republican in 1964 There is growing basis for the logical conclusion that North Caro lina may get its first Republican governor in the 20th century in 1964. Apparently none of the smart boys who hold down Democratic jobs in Raleigh is able to interpret the handwriting on the wall. Salt continues to be rubbed al most daily into the festering sores of Eastern North Carolina politics—• the specific area that has kept North Carolina in the Democratic column during the last two gubernatorial elections, and the last three presi dential elections. But that vast “Lost Province" lying roughly east of US' Highway 301 continues to be ignored—brassily ignored by the sfide-rule and law school dudes who call the tune in Raleigh today. Tuesday of this week a classic, instance of this salt-rubbing came when the powerful State Highway Commission took bids on 23 pro jects in 18 counties. The bids to ready about 40 per cent covered with cement and overpasses, bids were approved Tuesday for FENC ING 13.62 miles of super-highway and the price tag was $96,512.35, There is NOT one department head in Raleigh who would have his job today except for the Demo cratic Party vote in Eastern North Carolina in 1960. Robert Gavin would be governor instead of Ter ry Sanford if the Democratic plu rality east of Highway 301 were removed .from the 1960 tabulation. All of this the wise boys in Ral eigh know, since it has been told to them repeatedly. But their attitude is: “Oh well, those fanners down in East Carolina are not going to vote Republican, no matter what we do to them!”. highway Commission Chairman Merrill Evans.spoke last week and told bluntly .what was going to hap pen to the tourist traffic of Coast al North Carolina because of the road building policies• of the past eight years. ( ' - j Yet Evans goes straight back to Raleigh and presides over the spending of more millions of dol lars to compound the felonious as ! upon the isiness inter Carolina. Ten new industries locate in the Piedmont and Western Carolina for every one that comes to East ern North Carolina. This is not all accident. Industries want to lo cate where roads are excellent and no where in Eastern North Caro lina can they find this situation. The DuPont..' Company was promised in 1950 that major im provements would be made to the Kinston-Greenville highway. Now, 12 years latter the road has been resurfaced, but no engineering im provements have been made and none is likely to be made during the present Democratic adminis ministration in Raleigh. Why? Because Lenoir County didn’t vote for Governor Sanford in the Democratic primaries. Sanford ig nores the fact that 4,517 of his 120,136 plurality in the general election came from the Lenoir County faithful in the ■ general election. Sanford and his rubber-stamp 1961 general assembly were solidly slapped down with their bond issue effort in every part of the state, but most strongly in Eastern North Carolina. That was an indicator of restlesnpss among the natives. ■■I ' ,:,-V.r. -'T-vur: ' • -. .. -■ . .... • Eastern North Carolina is the area where racial integration pre ents the most tedious, and poten tially dangerous problem since it is the area where the bulk of the state’s negroes live. Yet Governor Sanford and his ambition to na tional office project his integration ist views from every platform and from every national news media that will give him a page to talk from (most recently, Look, where he bragged about the election of a negro to edit the law review at his alma mater, Carolina). There is also growing proof that a deliberate pay policy discrimin ation against Eastern North Caro lina employees of the state. This reported commercial raping of Eastern North Carolina is based upon the premise that living costs are lower, hence, a state employee doesn’t need as much money as one in the Piedmont or Western Caro lina. The single factor of politics that is apparently completedly lost on the Raleigh boys who feed at the Democratic Party trough is . that even if Eastern Carolinians cannot stomach voting for the Republican Party, their failure to vote is equal ly decisive. ■ seJMs? $'r'~ '"•A V • ’•'-'•vC-', «v - v , _ .. St&Avsi* si None but the bravest Republican heart expects to convert Eastern Carolinians to voting the GOP tic ket, but the disgusted voter who stays at home on election day, when his vote is needed for his party’s plurality is just as important as the voter who marks the ticket. Of course, a percentage of dis gruntled Democratics will change their party affiliation, and this is a growing percentage. For generations the Republican Party was the “nig ger party”, but the racial pander ings of the Democratic Party, na tionally and at the state level has lifted this stigma completely from the Republican Party. True, the Republicans at both the state and national levels are just as servile before the negro blocs of votes as the Democrats—if not so successful, but today it is impossible for either of them to use the “nig ger party” label in an effort to win white votes. Every reasonable indicator of practical politics points to the strong chance that the next governor of North Carolina will be a member of the Republican Party, and no group is doing so much to accele rate this as the Democratic office holders in Raleigh.
