Charlotte bus inessman, resigned as North Caro lina Republican chairman Monday. This places Mrs. A. E. Verbyla of Lenoir acting Chairman of the party. Saxon, 57, said at a news con ference he resigned “due to the insistence of my doctor.” A former state representative, he held the state GOP chairmanship for two years. He stated he’d like to see “new blood” on the executive committee and charged lack of cooperation by fund raisers. Mrs. Verbyla, who was state vice chairman, said the N.C. Re publican Executive Committee will meet soon to name Saxon’s re placement. In the last election the N.C. party pulled 624.844 popular votes for Barry Goldwater, compared to 800,139 votes for President John son. Predicting a bright future for Republicans in what he called conservative North Carolina, Sax on said “great numbers” of Tar Heel Democrats will turn Repub lican in 1968 if Lt. Gov. Robert Scott runs for governor. “The real conservatives cannot stay in the Democratic Party.” Saxon said. He pointed to Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and Rep. Albert Watson, R-S.C,. as exam ples of party switchers. Saxon said his chief disappoint ment during the two years as GOP leader was the laxity of Re publicans in the money-raising de partment. He said there was a “lack of cooperation by people who were to raise money.” On other subjects, Saxon said it appeared Sherwood Rock of More head City is being groomed as a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democrat Everett Jordan, whose term expires next year. Rock is chairman of the North Carolina Alliance of Conservative Republicans, which has named Jordan’s job as its prime target. Concerning the conservative al liance, Saxon chided the group, saying Republicans seem to be “emulating the Democrats right down the line, with factions.’ He added, “Now of all times the Re publican party needs unity.” Saxon said, in answer to another question, the election of Gov. Moore showed a trend against President Johnson’s liberalism. He said Moore’s administration “is pleasing more people than has been the case in a long time.” Mrs. Verbyla said she was sorry Saxon had to resign and called him “one of the best chairmen we’ve had.” She would not speculate on who might be chosen to replace him. She added, “I think we have quite a few capable people who might consider the job.” State Teen-Dem Organizer, Lon nie I.
