BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Born in Mississippi in 1927, Dunn at age seventeen volunteered for service in World War II. Later he earned degrees in finance and in dental surgery from the University of Mississippi and from the University of Tennessee at Memphis. Over the years he was active in many local, state and national campaigns. A practicing dentist, he was the first Republican governor in fifty years, and served at a time of increased urbanization, industrial growth, and strides in civil rights. Dunn instituted a kindergarten program for Tennessee children, further reorganized state government, initiated the establishment of the Department of Economic and Community Development, and developed highway construction plans and health programs.

State Party The state party has new leadership with state chairman, Herb Cheever. Herb is the most neutral of everyone in South Dakota and will be traveling the state in the next few weeks, talking to people and learning. The state party is in debt and now it is uncertain how much service the state party will be able to give the Democratic candidate. 7/11/77 TENNESSEE I. Governor Ray Blanton (D) - He cannot succeed himself. He is unpopular due to scandals surrounding his administration. Likely candidates are: Jake Butcher, who placed 2nd in the Democratic primary last time; Richard Fulton, mayor of Nashville; and State Representative R6ger Murray. Others;.mentioned are: James Larner, Bobby Clement, Ned McWhorter and Marilyn Lloyd. Butcher because of his money and name recognition could edge out Fulton in a two way race but with the addition of McWhorter the situation would alter radically. McWhorter is probably more pop­ ular than is Butcher and could probably win out, although slimly. But the effect ' of such a tight primary fight will make the general a more tenuous affair.
