TWO A&T GRADS WIN OFFICE IN N. C. ELECTIONS
Two Negro candidates, both
graduates of A&T State Uni
versity, scored victories in hot
ly contested General Elections
in North Carolina last Tuesday.
Atty. Henry E. Frye, a former
assistant United States Attorney
and a former law professor at
North Carolina College, placed
third in a field of 12 candidates
for the six seats in the N. C.
House of Representatives. A
Democrat. Frye will be the first
black man to serve in the House
since Reconstruction.
Mrs. Elreta Melton Alexander, i
a practicing attorney in Greens
boro won a judgeship in one of ,
Guilford County's six new dis- 1
trict courts. A Republican, Judge >
Alexander placed third in an
11-wav contest.
Although both Negro win
ners were the beneficiaries of
the important Negro vote, both ,
also got impressive support from
.the white communities.
"I received a much broader
I support than I expected and for
this I am very grateful," said
Frye, when notified of his vic
tory. "This may be an indica
tion that eventually persons can
be elected to public office in
North Carolina without regard
to race."
In winning his seat, Frye poll
ed more than 33.880 votes, a
shade behind the top runner C.
W. Phillips. Atty. Alexander
drew 26.673 votes in gaining her
judgeship. Highest vote-getter
was Judge Byron Haworth with
29.046.
A native of Ellerbe, N. C.,
Atty. Frye earned an under
graduate degree at A&T in 1953,

tion was a mile-long Homecom
ing parade Saturday morning, i
