Anyone interested in riding a chartered bus is a^ked to call Re publican Headquarters, 276-3993 by noon Friday. The round trip will be $1.85 per person. Know your Teachers THE POLLS Most of the polls would have you believe that Lyndon Johnson is going to be re-elected by a landslide, but the pollsters evi dently haven’t been in contact with some of the folks who really know how the “grassroots” feed about this presidential election— the small daily and non-daily news papers of the country. In the October issue of The American Press is published the result of a survey made by that magazine among all non-dailies and all daily newspapers under 50,90 circulation. “If America’s community newspaper publishers know their readers, Sen. Goldwater will carry the non-metropolitan areas on November 3” was the conclusion reached by the Press Grass Roots Opinion poll. The poll showed 59.7% of the publish ers responding predict a Goldwat- er win and 40.3% think Pres. Johnson wall carry in their areas. This is in direct conflict with “nationally-conducted” polls by various firms that have been pre dicating Pres. Johnson will carry up to 47 states with up to 70% of the vote. In addition to believing Gold- water will win, 60.6% of the edi- (Continued on page 5) For most folks, “parlez-vous Franc a is” is the extent of their French vocabulary, but not so for students of Mrs. Gallic May re Setzler at Newberry High school.

'BHofc A record turnout of voters is expected to go to the fifty polling precincts of Newberry County next Tuesday to take part in se lection of the next President of the United States. In addition, voters will be given three other ballots: congressional, county, and constitutional amend ments. A sample of the Presidential bal lot appears on this page. Voting this ballot is a simple matter. Those who wish to vote for Presi dent Lyndon B. Johnson make a cross mark (x) in the circle di rectly uncier the word “Demo crat”; those who wish to vote for Senator Barry Goldwater place a cross mark (x) in the circle di rectly under the word “Republi can”. It is not necessary to check the blocks by the names of Presi dential and Vice-Presidential Elec tors. The only name appearing on the congressional ballot is that of W. J. Bryan Dorn, Democrat nominee for the United States House of Representatives. Those who wish to vote for Mr. Dorn simply place a cross mark in the circle on the congressional ballot under the word “Democrat”. The blank space is left for those who may wish to write-in the name of another per- “Democrat” would not be marked. Two write-in candidates have been announced in the county race. Curtis Shealy and Carman Bouk- nigbt have been announced as wiite-in candidates for the office of Supervisor. Harold B. Hendrix is the Democratic nominee for this office. Those who wish to vote the straight Democratic ticket, includ ing Hendrix for supervisor, need only place a cross mark under the word “Democrat” on the county ticket. Those who wish to vote for a write-in candidate must vote for each candidate individually. If, for insLince, someone wished to cast a write-in vote for Solicitor, and vote for the remainder of the Democrat nominees, he would leave the circle at the top blank; he would leave the block by the office of Solicitor blank and would write in a name in the space pro vided, then he would check the re mainder of the blocks for the various offices. If the circle under the word “Democrat” is marked with a cross mark, the ballot auto matically is counted as a straight Democratic ticket, even though names may be written in below. There are 29 Constitutional amendments but only three are of statewide significance. The re- son, in which case the circle undermainder pertain to various coun- Mrs. Hugh Turner underwent emergency' appendectomy in New berry Memorial hospital Sunday ties, none of them having to do with Newberry County, although they are voted on statewide. The first two statewide amend ments, which are of concern to Newberry County and every coun ty in the state, pertain to the State Superintendent of Educa tion. The first amendment, if ap proved, would eliminate the office of State Superintendent from the list of Constitutional officers; meaning the superintendent would no longer be elected by popular vote of the people. The second amendment provides that the State Board of Education would appoint the State Superintendent of Edu- catic.i. Those who wish to re'ain the State Superintendent of E ucation as an elective office, to be chosen by the voters each four years, should vote “No” to each of these amendments. Those who favor taking this office from the list of elective offices, and having the superintendent appointed by the State Board of Education, shouM vote “Yes” to the first two amend ments. The third statewide amendment has to do with cases pertaining to minors and mentally incompetent people in Probate Court. Accord ing to a local attorney, this is a matter of providing uniform re gulations in Probate Courts thru- out the state. There is no registration by po litical party in South Carolina. Persons who meet the qualifica tions for voting are issued a Reg istration Certificate. This entitles them to vote in any general elec tion, and to vote for either party he wishes. No voter was required to take an oath at the Democratic pri mary which would in any way af fect his vote in the general elec tion. The so-called “loyalty oath” was not ’.equired of voters in the Democratic primary.
