In view of the fact that there is
little public expression OF opinion in
the Governors race and even less in
the other races, no more than meagre
Importance should perhaps be atA
tached To what has been heard. As
usual there isn't any ISSUE involved
in the secretary Of state race; its
just 4 question Of whether the voters
will prefer aging Walter to still
youthful Thad: together with such
political horse trading us the two can
do with candidates for other offices.
The case Of Scott is somewhat diff
ferent. In the agriculture race there
is involved something more than per-
Sonalities; with the perennial State
College-Dcpartmcnt of Agriculture
row as the backlog Of disscnsion and
controversy.
In addition, former Commissioner
VIII A. Graham of LincOlnton, whom
Scott beat four years ago by APP
proXimately 10000 votes, has this
week issued 4 Scjthing indictment OF
SCOTS administration. Senator Gra-
ham Che won the seat from Lincoln
two years ago. called Scott just
about everything except 4 gentle
man and cedar tree and showed
