to run for the 1984 Republican gubernatorial nomination because of concern that mainstream Republican interests would be at odds with those of conservatives. Ellis, the political strategist for Sen. Jesse Helms, and the chairman of the National Congressional Club, said those interests might imperil Helms' re-election bid. Rep. James Martin, the only announced Republican candidate for governor, has the support of former Gov.

Jim Holshouser Jr. and several key figures from the GOP's more moderate leadership. "I hope he'll run," Ellis said of Cobey, who ran unsuccessful races for lieutenant governor in 1980 and Congress in 1982.

I won't vote for legislation when I know in my heart that we cannot afford it I think the people pay me to take stands."
