WHO'S FOR WHOM? The
race for Speakership of the House
next year is so close that it could
go down to the wire in tie.
In a big Raleigh daily recently,
Carl Venters' disciples ran long
list of members allegedly in that
camp. Not so-or not quite So
say the followers of Addison Hew-
lett, Jr., the other contender.
A list of those supposed to be in
Hewlett's corner has reached our
desk. 1t is chased on commit
ments.' Look carefully and you
may find your legislators name
written there.
The listing is headed Commit
ted to Hewlett" and follows:
R. Austin Jones, Sidney D.
Britt, James C. Bowman, S. Eve
rett Burgess, Edward H. Wilson,
Tom ]. Herbert, Jack Palmer, Jr.,
r. Bruce Etheridge, Hugh S. john
son, Jr., Watts Hill, Jr., Edward
F. Marlborough, Max L. Childers,
Allen Askew, Leonard w. Lloyd,
Joe A. Watkins.
Ed Kemp, Thomas Turner, Car
son Gregory, Boyce A. Whitmire,
Charles A. Hostetler, Dick O'Neal,
Marcellus Buchanan, c. Blake
Thomas, John M. Hargett, Marvin
7. Leatherman, Guy L. Houk,
Fred Holcombe, l.. Penn Hunter,
j. Paul Wallace, H. Clifton Blue,
l. T. Valentine, Jr., j. Raynor
Woodland, Ned Delamar, Ashley
Murphy, B. 1. Satterfield, j.
Thurston Arledge, David M. Britt,
Radford 6. Powell, Clyde H. Har-
riss, Tom Newman.
Roger C. Kiser, Grace T. Roden-
bough, C. R. Crawford, James C..
Gather, w. Charles Cohoon, Glenn
Hawfield, A. A. Zollicoffer, Jr.,
John Kerr, Jr., Harlon Holcombe,
end, of course, Addison Hewlett,
Jr,
BOTH LOST In the runoff,
both Venters and Hewlett lost
commitments.
Gene Bost of Carbarrus, sup
posed to be for Venters, went
down to defeat in the recount with
Bedford Black. Now Black is sup
posed to be for Hewlett. Venters
also lost Bascom Sawyer, who
lost in the runoff in Pasquotank.
In the Mecklenburg second Pri-
mary, Hewlett lost Frank Snepp,
Jr., and in ditto in Halifax he lost
Frank Pittman. In Currituck, Wal
ton Griggs who lost to Norwood
Ausell.
Hewlett people claim that R.
Frank Everett of Martin County
and DIR. J. M. Phelps of neighbor-
ing Washington County "were at
one time committed, but may not
now be committed"
So out of the 120 men in the
House-and usually goodly num-
Der of Republicans are there
you have about SO leaning to Addi-
son Hewlett-or so they say. II
that enough?
