shall be designated by this Act as an automatic
vote, expressing the will of the people of the
State of North Carolina, and
(4) after the vote on the first ballot by a political
party at its National Convention, as required by
this Article, all responsibility under this Act
shall terminate and further balloting shall be the
prerogative of the political parties as might be
prescribed by the rules of such political parties.

highest number of votes, or all candidates if there are fewer

Chairman of each political party, qualified under the laws of
this state, to notify his party's National Committee no Later

This letter along with the executed Notice of Candidacy
and a check for $1,000 must be filed with the State Board
of Elections in Raleigh on Monday, March 6. It is my
understanding that the original of the Notice of Candidacy
is being held by Noble Mellencamp. The check for $1,000
is with Harry Flemming.
Charles Jonas, the Nixon chairman in North Carolina, would
like to hand deliver these materials to the State Board
of Elections on Monday and make a news story with the deliver-
ance.
It is recommended, therefore, that after the President signs
the cover letter and executes the Notice of Candidacy that
they be returned to Harry Flemming. Harry will deliver the
letter, the notice, and the check to Mr. Jonas' representative
on Friday who will, in turn, fly it to Raleigh. Mr. Jonas
will then hand carry it to the Board of Elections on Monday
at 2:00 pm.

Section 163-260: Every candidate and treasurer of a campaign committee

Section 163-259: "Candidate" means an individual whose name is pre-

name and address of contributor, the sum of contributions, name and
addresses of persons to whom an expenditure has been made; the total
sum of expenditures.

It is unclear whether the above applies to Presidential candidates.
There is no specific exemption (in a very broad definition).
Section 163-209: In place of the names of electors, the names of the
candidates for President and Vice President shall be printed on the
ballot.
(Therefore, regarding the definition of "candidate", the Presidential
candidate himself is, by name, presented for an office).
