Attack Is Fatal Elder William Harrison Anderson, BO-yeai'-old well-known minister and retired missionary for the Seventh Day Adventists, died this morning at 4:30 a.m.

at Ills ELECTION The Record's political analyst picked a good time to go on his vacation. He's not here today to explain what happened to his prediction of a Graham victory in Saturday's primary, nor can we tell you "how come," either. Frankly, we wouldn't have bet a dime on Willis Smith's chances. We were among those folks who thought Frank Graham would have been unbeatable, but once again events have shown how futile it is to try to count they ha ten. Smith forces did a magnificent job in overcoming the lead which the little senator had piled up in the first primary.

They had plenty of ammunition, but the most telling blow was their ability to get their message across, not once but many times. It took plenty of money to do that and tney did not lack for iunds. Graham's biggest drawback in the race was in the fact that he is not a politician. In a campaign which grew more and more intense, he refused to get down on the level which so many voters seem to understand and to react and back-biting. The folks who were counted on to support Frank Graham did not come through the ones who stood to benefit most by his election evidently had been won over to the other side by the very telling Smith campaign.

To loyal Graham supporters, the result was a bitter pill. To Smithte equally-loyal workers, it was a great triumph. They deserve a bow for their hard- won victory. up!

Iredell rode to victory on the Willis Smith bandwajon in the U. S.

Senate race, and nominated Charles Rumple sheriff over the incumbent Walter Morrison. In Stalesvule township, Austin Crouch, who trailed Fred Coley in the first primary by two votes, won in the second by 28 in the race for township constable. Statesville policeman Charles Rumple, campaigning on a platform of refjvm and science in the sheriff's department, easily defeated Morrison, who had held the job for eight years. His majority was 1,359, and the size of thte lead surprised most political observers. While newspaper readers may not pay any attention to editorials, they certainly read the ads.

This was indicated as Willis Smith ran up a 1,870 vote majority in this county over Senator Frank P. Graham. Graham received strong newspaper support here, but Smith's ads, in which Graham was attacked by 'nuendo as a Communist sympathiser and "race-mixer" paid off for -'the Raleigh lawyer. In "the dp the' constable's post, Crouch received a 283-vote majority. Well-wishers were congratulating Rumple this morning and asking him what, his plans are for the sheriff's Department.

"I haven't been ejected- yet," he said, and he's right, for he faces a strong Republican candidate for the job in Paul Current. However, if predominantly Democratic Iredell would elect a Republican sheriff it would be the first time that has happened in about 20 years. The vote by precincts in the two big races is given in a table on this page.

Smith Victory Poses Question In State Politics Leaders Expected To Turn On Scott RALEIGH, June Heel Democrats today pondered the question: what effect will Mr. Smith's going to Washington have on politics in North Carolina? Latest United Press returns showed that Raleigh Attorney Willis Smith captured 279,085 votes to overcome fair deal Sen. Frank Porter Graham's 260,496, as a surprising total of 540,000 electors cast ballots in the runoff Democratic primory Saturday.

The attrong runoff swing to Smith wa.s considtred a slap in the face nol only lo the Truman administration but also to Gov. Kerr Scott, who had vigorously supported Graham, whom he appointed lo the Senate when the late J. M. Broughton died. Political observers predicted lhat Ihe Smith upset would boost the efforts of legislators determined to buck the Scott regime in Ihe 1951 General Assembly.

Scott returned to Raleigh last nighl after spending Sunday in Weslern North Carlina. The governor refused to make any com ment on the outcome of the election which had seen racial issues come to the fore for the first time in decades of state history. Democratic National Commit- leeman Jo.ulnan Danies, who untiringly plugged for Graham in his Raleigh and. Observer, commented editorially today thai he accepted "the decision of the Democrats of North Carolina to make Willis Smith their nominee for the United Stales Senate is more fundamental to politics in a free democracy," Daniels wrole, "than that men who fight for the candidates of their choice and the JHKIIVS Iheir fuilh be prepared to accept the decision of (lie majority That is democracy il is more important than any candidate or any other issue. Smith carried 61 counties out of the state's 100 in the runoff, as most eastern counties shifted to the "defender of southern traditions" and many in the Piedmont gave him victory margins increased over the first ballot.
