PAGE TWO WHO ARE THEY? . . . Within 18 months from now, we will have underway in North Carolina vigor ous and ferocious campaigns for Governor, for the U. S. Senate, and for various State offices. It isn’t even likely all our State officials up for election will have opposition, but odds are most of them will. And, as for Governor, we should have a lot of fun • . . and there may be some excitement for the U. S. Senate seat now held by B. Everett Jordan of Saxapahaw. Nevertheless, as of today, no body knows who has the inside track for that big rambling resi dence occupying one full block on North Blount Street. Four years ago right along now when the Pearsall Plan was on everybody’s lips, folks were say ing Tom Pearsall of Rocky Mount might be a shoo-in for Governor. We heard on good authority a few days ago that he is not the slight est bit interested in the position and would not make the race un der any circumstances. Terry Sanford of Fayetteville, who served a term in the State Senate and managed the late Kerr Scott’s successful campaign for the U. S. Senate in 1954, is get-, ting ai-ound a lot, talking, visit ing, shaking hands—and even do ing a little preaching. Sanford looks—and certainly acts—defi nitely Gubernatorial. He must be reckoned with in any discussion of the Governor’s race in 1960. Sanford, originally from Laurin burg, has another Scotlander on his hands: Edwin Gill, State Treasurer. He knows the State, knows people, has connections, and is the last real simon-pure holdover from the fine old Gardner Regime which pretty well ran poli tics in this State from about 1925 until 1945. Good friend of the Gov ernor, too. Will he run? Nobody seems to know late in ’SB what is cooking for 1960. Odd! LENNON . . . Then there is Alton Lennon of Wilmington, now in Congress. He has had experi ence in the State Senate, in the U. S. Senate, and beat out Lum berton’s Ertel Carlyle for the Seventh District seat in the House of Representatives two years ago. He was 52 last Supday, August 17. He is energetic, well dressed, meets people easily, and has a good head of hair. Women say he is handsome—not a bad asset. Our firm opinion is that Alton H He’s the picture of keokk •'W because he romps on WARM FLO^! = ■ 11 piiio s : ■L-I I MM I H MM ** ' I MH M I IlQr_>-V ■ I ilffi Im ®Ww ■ I B§s KIR f Hj* a 'I » BiF ■r MtoL I 1 : v II M aEak -' Ha IBp HKL..... i ITfciiF • - fIU V &-- yift 'tiliriß.

OPPOSITE POST OFFICE PHONE 51J MANTEO. N. C. Asa Lennon, Baptist, Wake Forest alumnus, attorney, will not run for the House in 1960. He will cither run for the U. S. Senate or for Governor. Since the same people supporting Jordan so vigorously now, plumped hard for Lennon when Kerr Scott took his measure four years ago, we would say that the Wilmington stem winder will not oppose Senator Jordan. That means he will run for Governor, with Scott forces rallying to San ford and against Lennon—one more time. THE GROUP ... So, 18 months hence, we could have quite a race ■ for Governor with the following, all being mentioned prominently for the post, fighting it out: Mal colm Seawell of Lumberton, new ■ Attorney General, former solici tor, former judge, good friend of Edwin Gill and the Governor, young and ambitious; Luther Earnhardt of Concord, Lieutenant Governor and experienced legisla tor; Terry Sanford of Fayette ville; State Treasurer Edwin Gill; j and Alton Lennon of Wilmington. ■ If the voting were held tomor row, whom of the above would you favor? Not an easy question. CAN HE WIN? ... We are almost of the opinion that the average person does not know, or care much, about politics—that is, Government. A newspaper reporter in De troit, says the current issue of Newsweek Magazine, a few days ago conducted a little survey. This Detroit Free Press newspaperman ■ strolled about in Cadillac Square | discussing campaign issues with good American citizens. Although the primary election was to be the followng day throughout Michigan, the first 14 people he met did not know it Os these first 14, he also asked: “What do you think of the chances of this guy Bryan—William Jen nings—will he win the nomina , tion?” , A housewife said: “Yes, I think : his chances are pretty fair.” A well-dressed man thought a • moment and replied: “I’ve heard a i lot about him. He’s got a good chance.” To make a long story short, ; seven thought William Jennings Bryan would win—but admitted they weren’t sure what he was i running for. ' Well, if the seven—that Seven ■ —thought Bryan would win, > it was obvious they expected more • from him dead than alive. The • Democratic Party nominated him > I for President three times and .! three times he lost—in 1896 to ; i McKinley; in 1900 again to Mc ,' Kinley; and in 1908, to William t i Howard Taft. He died 33 years j ago this past July. i' NOTES . . . The current issue ■ of The State Magazine hag 136 • pages—36 more pages than the ■ latest issue of Saturday Evening ' Post.
