Role In Politics The embers of an alleged smoldering fire that has been gaining since the ap pointment of Dr. Larnie Horton, former Kittrell College president, as as sistant to Republican Gov. James E. Holshouser, Jr., seems to have spread to a devastating stage, accord ing to a letter sent him by a group of black Wake Coun ty Republicans recently, when contacted by The CAROLINIAN at his office for comment Tuesday af ternoon, Dr. Horton said he would not "degrade myself by responding to action of this kind." The letter set out the fact that he. as an aide to the governor, was more a buffer to keep blacks from presenting their case directly to the governor, than aiding the black cause. This has been voiced by many black Republicans since Governor Holshouser took office. The most damaging part of the letter related to the fact that not onlv has Horton, reportedly, bowed to the whims of superior whites, including Gene Anderson, controversial Holshouser aide, but it points out that Horton has now been accused of trying to determine who the black candidates should be in the several counties.
