Ward 4, preeinets 1 and 2, and .Maybinton ! h;ui long ago conceded to Johnson, but never in my most optimistic dreams wou'd ] have thought that our man would carry Newberry County by a ma jority of dads.. This shook a num ber of political observers, both Democrat and Republican; the former with dismay, the latter with elation. There is absolutely no doubt that the race question had a tre mendous impact on voters in sev eral of the city and some of the county precincts. But in other city precincts, where tremendous votes were recorded for Goldwater, 1 can assure you that it was by no means the race question alone which accounted for the vote I have talked to many of these peo ple over the past few years and more especially over the last few months and they are finally get ting concerned about the direction in which the Federal government is heading—toward all-out social ism. This, more than the race question, turned out the vote in some of the precincts. These peo ple knew they had a candidate of honesty and integrity. With all the lies, misrepresentations and distortions put out by the Demo crats, even they dared not assail Barry Goldwater’s character. They tried to make something of the nervous breakdown thing—but any sensible person would realize that a man who worked t've days and nights' without sleep would nat urally be at a state of exhaustion. W hen the politicians nationwide begin to look over this Johnson “landslide” as they call it, they are going to come to the realiza tion that about half of the white people in this country voted for Barry Goldwater. Every vote counts, of course, but I wonder if Lyndon Baines Johnson isn’t going to take a second look before he in sists on drastic enforcement of the civil rights bill? This thing does n’t touch merely the ordinary worker; it touches almost every facet of business and economic life. When he takes a look and sudden ly finds that the Deep South is no longer in the bag for the Demo crats and realizes that millions of other white Americans have pro tested his policies, he will be look ing to four years hence. Being the smooth politician that he is, he might try to go easy on this enforcement of federal pow r er but there’s one little hitch—Martin Luther King Jr. When this obnox ious bill goes into effect—I be lieve it is next July-—unless the President starts his enforcement immediately, there is little doubt that the Negroes will again take to the streets. The President might just find he has a bear by the tail and can’t let go. Am I disappointed? Of course I am; it would be foolish to say otherwise. But 1 am extremely proud of my city, county ami state and, as one who did what she could for Barry Goldwater, I want to thank each of you for all you did. At this point, regrets must be quickly forgotten and work must begin again for the election of men who will uphold the American ideals and principles. We have a very important race coming up two years from now when we again send Strom Thurmond to the United States Senate, voted to that office as a Republican. We must continue our support of a conservative Republican presiden tial possibility because I firmly believe that four years from now (if we are still allowed a free bal lot), the American people will have a bellyful of Lyndon Baines Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, and 1968 will be the year for true Americans to win the White House. i; Tt; wa ! •. m * « ■ ■ ken a hoi in , IV r ■ *. *; ■'; i L i v • Y» M‘ V ~ e a ' e I i 4 j * f j ,e year I h v r < ‘ a 1 r f »' t - ( x l 1 1 f i O \Y e !

Gay Suber, of Whitmire, chair-! man of the N berry County Gold- ! water for Pre.-ident committee, ex pressed his surprise and gratitude to the voters of this county. “While we were confident that the voters of Newberry would not fall for the vicious and untrue misrepresentations of Sen. Gold- water, we had not anticipated a win by such a large majority. It is to the credit of Newberry voters that, realizing the bloc vote which | would have to be overcome, they i went to the polls in unprecedented i numbers to carry Sen. Goldwater | to victory by a majority of over • 2300 votes.” i The final unofficial tally in the i county was 5563 for Goldwater, ! 3215 for Johnson. Local students selected for ‘Who’s Who’ Two Newberry youths are among 15 Newberry College stu dents in Who’s Who Among Stu dents In American Universities And Colleges this year. They are James Barton Park, son of Dr. and Mrs. Conrad B. Park, and Margaret Evelyn Kelly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Kelly Jr. Presidential vote tabulated by precinct Miss Newberrian hopefuls named Sixteen Newberry college girls are competing for the title of “Miss Newberrian.” The winner and four runners-up will be fea tured in the beauty section of the 1965 “Newberrian,” student year book. “Miss Newberrian” will be crowned by Dr. Frederick Cort- ner, dean of students on Friday night at the conclusion of a pro gram in the auditorium of New berry high school. The event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Contestants are to appear in street clothes and evening dress before four judges. They will meet the judges personally at a tea at six o’clock that evening at Smelt- zer hall. Newberry girls seeking the title are Eva Jane Price and Lisa Anne Lominaek. both members of the senior class. Mr. Suber also thanked the many volunteers who actively worked during the campaign. “We would not have been so successful had it not been for these dedicated workers, and v/e ish to thank them for a job well uone. We realize also that there were many, many people who worked for Barry Goldwater on their own, and to these people we also express our gratitude. Most of all, however, we thank the vot ers who proved their independence by voting Republican.” The Democratic ticket led in only sever' of the county’s pre cincts. In most of the seven there is heavy Negro registration. The heaviest Johnson majority was in Maybinton where there are less than 10 white registrants. The vote in this box was 42-3. Coming second in the Johnson column was Ward 4, No. 2 where thei'e is the largest city Negro r-egistration. The vote there was 258-119. In Ward 4, No. 1 and Helena, both with large numbers of Negro voters, Johnson led (59-48 and 67- 59 respectively. Other precincts carried by Johnson were Central, 22-18; Saluda No. 7, 25-16; and Ward 3, No. 2, 279-264. The biggest surprise to political observers was the vote which pil ed up for- Goldwater in Ward 5, which is the West End precinct, at Oakland, and Ward 3 No. 2, the Mollohon precinct, also the two M hitmire boxes. Goldwater carried Ward 5 by a vote of 230-151; Oak land by 250-188, and came within 16 votes of carrying the Mollohon box. The Repuhl'cans carried both Whitmire boxes, No. 1, 336-199; No. 2, 188-,56. Only one precinct, Dominick, was solid ior Goldwater, with a 25-0 vote, hut many other- pre cincts gave Goldwater a whopping majority.

Associate hos tesses will be Mrs. H. W. Swind ler, Mrs. Thompson Shealy, and Mrs. Fred Mitchell. All tend. members are urged to al ready to give up their jobs as box managers. The confusion as to how to vote, especially on amend ments; the problem of getting the ballots into the proper boxes, and the large crowds of voters kept managers on their toes throughout the day. In the Cngressional race, Bryan Dorn was elected without opposi tion with only a scattering of write-in votes. There were also a few write-in votes on the county ticket for all offices, but mostly in the Super visor’s race where Curtis Shealy had announced as a write-in can didate and Carman Bouknight’s friends had announced him as a writein candidate. Both received some votes throughout the county. With unofficial and incomplete returns in Wednesday morning, it appeared that the three statewide constitutional amendments would be defeated in Newberry County. Two of these would have provided for the appointment, rather than the election of the State Superin tendent of Education. The presidential vote by pre cinct may he seen on this page.
