Raleigh, June 9.-What with unre-
ported races, :lon-primary rounties
run-off races to be decided July 2 and
other complications it is still !mpos-
sible to give full, complete md un-
aeridged list CT nominees for the 1S3:
North Carolina House of Represents
ives; but one thing can be predicted
With certainty-a majority Of the 12C
House members in 1899 will not be
legislators who sat in the 1887 Gen
erai Assembly.
Esing the phraseology of the indie
terminate sentence it can be said that
there will be not less than 40 nor
more than so repeaters on the rolls
when they are definitely made up
after the November general elections.
In other words, there is a strong pos
s.bility that the newcomers will out
number the 1887 boys two to one.
A study of the situation as of to-
day, made after comforting with Henry
M. London, veteran legislative refer
ence librarian, who without doubt has
the most up-tO-the-minute list of
House nominees indicates that forty
incumbents were renominated and are
now ready for their names to go on
the November hallots.
In addition, five 1887 members have
qualified for run-off races; four were
candidates in counties from which Mr..
London has not heard; and four 9TH
ers may come back from the eight
"no-primary" counties alexander,
AShe, Avery, Burke, Caldwell, Clay,
Surry and Watauga.) a.

Martin, Mitchell, Orange, Stanly,
Stokes, Union and Yadkin.
