In Local House Contests
Democratic candidates
dominated local Carroll County
races in Tuesday’s election. The
only two locally contested races
were those for the seat in the
House of Representatives.
Ralph Parkman, managing
editor of the Carrollton
newspapers, easily defeated
Republican opponent, Mt. Zion
Mayor. Mary Ward in the battle
for House district 66, Post 1
seat.
In the Post 2 race, Tom
Glanton, also a Democrat had
little trouble with Republican
challenger Frank Carroll.
Parkman, who had first
unseated incumbent John
Patterson in the Sept. 3 run-off
election, was successful in his
second bid for the House seat.
He ran unsuccessfully two
years ago. He tallied a total of
6,482 votes in the district which
includes portions of Douglas
and Heard counties in addition

Democratic nominee, not John
Flynt,” he said.
Gingrich also said he ran
because he though the sixth
district needed a better man,
and that the Watergate issue
which has been termed by many
Republicans across the nation
as an albatross did not hurt him.
to all of Carroll County.
Glanton had even less trouble
with Carroll. Glanton had also
defeated an incumbent
legislator, Elmer Bohannon, in
order to qualify for the General
Election. Carroll, who had run
for the post as both a Democrat
and Republican in the primary,
was easily outdistanced by
Glanton, who had 7,461 votes.
Carroll could muster only 1,827
votes.
Both Glanton and Parkman
will serve two-year terms in the
House.

Area Students
Captain J. W. Fitzgerald and
Staff Sargent Ron Dover from
the Marine Corps Officer
Selection Team in Atlanta
visited the campus Monday
through Wednesday in an effort
to recruit students for the
Marine Corps platoon leaders
class.

undergraduates to earn a
commission in the Marine

There are three active
platoon leader class trainees
from West Georgia, Bill
Jackson, a senior who will be
commissioned in June, Art
Elliot, a junior, and Jack
Gilbert, a sophomore. The men
have their summer training in
Quantico, Virginia for six weeks

very many women.”

"I ran the race with anti
republican and anti-incumbent
sentiment among the voters.
Anti-republican won by one and
a half percent, ” said Gingrich.
The bespeckled man with
graying hair said he would run
again, because “this is what the
system is all about.”
“I am not inclined to run out
of ambition. It is not uncommon
for a young man to get beat and
run again,” said Gingrich.
He then cited examples of
Tom Glanton, a young
Carrolltonian who ran for the
State House of Representatives
in 1972 and lost, but had a vic
tory Tuesday, and Georgia
Governor, Jimmy Carter.
Gingrich said he is looking
forward to getting back into the
education process.

vironmental studies.
Gingrich said his eight and a
half month stint in politics was
‘‘the greatest experience of my
life.’’and although he “never

impact on the sixth district.

good Congressman. If so, by my
running, we served our pur
pose,” said Gingrich.

students, Gingrich said his
campaign “belonged to hun
dreds,” and “was financed by
thousands of people.”

American, and to have had a
chance to run and be a part of
the greatest political system in
the world, ” said Gingrich.
