In the twelfth district Monroe Redden's retirement sparks a crowded field led by Richard Queen Irvin Crawford and Frank Parker with George Shuford a likely entrant amid Buncombe Haywood factional shifts. The seventh district may see Ertel Carlyle challenged from both sides as Wilmington sentiment pushes Alton Lennon or Junius Powell into contention. The tenth district centers on Mecklenburg influence with Hamton Jones facing Ben Douglass while upstate candidates mull bids. In the second district Kerr may seek re election leaving a field including Fountain Allsbrook Weeks and others. the sixth district may test Cal Durham against Tom Sawyer if opposition coalesces. The ninth district could ignite if Bob Coughton sits out. otherwise he runs, and the first third fourth fifth eighth eleventh districts appear relatively safe.
