They intended to beat me in Gaston by adding 3,085 Democrat voters to 810 Republicans, a 3.8 to worked a lot over there and my theme was that I was going to be their neighborhood representative because I live so close to them. I think the people accepted that." Weatherly ran first in Gaston County with 2,302 votes to 2,100 for Hunt and 2,095 for Lutz. In Cleveland, Hunt led with 16,637, followed by Lutz with 16,168 and Weatherly 15,601. Weatherly won six precincts and also received the most transfer and absentee votes. He ran away with the Bethware precinct with 1,058 votes to 811 for Lutz, 736 for Hunt, 604 for Withrow and 808 for Allen. Weatherly also won in; Boiling Springs, Casar, Mulls, Shanghai, Shelby #2, Shelby #6 and Shelby #7. Weatherly said he looks forward’ to returning to Raleigh and making a difference in a Democrat-con- | | trolled General Assembly. ‘ "The first thing. we'll be con- cerned about will be the organiza- tion of the General Assembly,’ hey. enough’ said. "We'll have Republicans to be effective, I cer- tainly hope we have enough so the Democrats can't suspend the rules with a two-thirds majority. That's the tactic they use to pull their chi- canery. "My other hope,” he added, "would be to help bring about tax reform in the budget process so we won't have shortfalls; and general ly, to represent the district by re- sponding to the people and paying attention to the job, and certainly not being a 'good ole boy' in Raleigh." Weatherly and Harris won't be the only familiar faces in Raleigh. Former Governor Jim Hunt re- gained the Governor's mansion by soundly defeating Republican Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner. Hunt, who collected well over 50 percent of the vote statewide, survived a nasty advertising cam- paign with Gardner to regain the seat he held from 1976-84. Hunt was the first N.C. governor to suc- ceed himself. : Hunt ‘said he would work for a stronger economy and more jobs, quality education, a better criminal justice system which requires: pris- oners to work, and efficient state government. "North Carolina is on the move again,” Hunt told his excited sup- porters after Gardner conceded. Gardner, who ran unsuccessfully “for governor in 1968, hinted that this may be his last attempt at pub- lic office. Cleveland County voters fol- lowed the state pattern in awarding “Hunt 52.5 percent of the vote to 41.8 for Gardner. Hunt received 16,353 in the county to 12,824 for Gardner and 1,239 for Libertarian Scott McLaughlin. Gardner carried only two precincts in Cleveland, Bethware and Shelby #1. In the race for Lt. Gov., Democrat Dennis Wicker defeated Republican Art Pope and Libertarian Jeanette Small. le 1 Did You Know WILL PAY For These Drugs For Home Inhalation Therapy Usually At Little Or NO COST TO YOU??? { MEDI-FARE DRUG GENTER 300 W.
