There are also materials from the 1950 North Carolina United States Senate election campaign that pitted Democrat Willis Smith, for whom Helms worked, against Frank Porter Graham, and from Helms's own Senate races as a Republican beginning in 1972. Furgurson also collected articles about Helms, transcripts of Helms's WRAL editorials, articles and speeches written by Helms, and other material.
