Raleigh.?M max taka an offlclai
count, and most probably will, to da
tormina Just what the cltliens of the
Mate-of North Carolina did to the 10
proposed amendments of their Con
stitution. Amendment No..7, Ihat re
lating to taxation undoubtedly caught
the brunt of the attack of the oppon
eota of theee measures, but there
? were auctions which handled the sec
ond. third and tenth roughly. Not all
oared for six-months schools. Samp
son cared for nothing.
In complete returns are the best
Obtainable data, and there were few
counties which made any real effort
to report the votes accurately. -In
the Third and Sixth Districts fci of
ficial count will certainly be nedHW,
although for the moat pert the ex
treme eastern Democrats appear (to
have voted solidly tor the amend
ments and to have been helped In
soma instances by the Republicans.
Brunswick, for example, gave about
800 majority for the amendments, a
far greater? majority than that given
the Democratic candidates. However,
Sampson County, being given a
chance to vote against something,
rolled up a majority of about 2,000
votes against the amendments.
In the Ninth district end through
out Piedmont North Carolina gener
ally, the amendments met stern op
position, especially the seventh pro
posal. Anson and Richmond Coun
ties counted heavily against them, aa
did Mecklenburg. In the close coun
ties they seem to have broken about
even. In the western pert of the
state aywood county reports both
parties as voting In their favor. It
must be remembered that the eastern
counties voting for the amendments
do not as a rule poll large votes,
while some of the counties of the
piedmont gave heavy majorities
against all 10 of the proposed changes
In the state constitution.
However, the Isolated counties have
yet to make their reports and the
vote In the close counties has not
been determined. If the piedmont has
gone solidly against the measure,
there would be little doubt of their
being loet; but such may not have
been the ease. Reports from Dur
ham would indlvate that they have
carried In that county, and there may
be others.
Chairman J. W. Bailey of the
Amendments Campaign Committee
said at midnight that It will be Im
possible to determine the fate of the
amendments before Wednesday aft
ernoon, bat that he Is very hopeful
that they have carried, that while
they bad heavy adverse votes In
Wake, Guilford, Cumberland, Robe
eon, Mecklenburg and some other
counties, returns show New Han
over, Beaufort, Lenoir, Duplin and
other counties repotting with large
majorities for the amendments.

Monroe.?Union county Rave 1,000
Democratic votes and 250 Republican
votes. The Constitutional amend

Albemarle.?With two precincts not

safely Democratic by at least 100 ma

cast were against them.

Raleigh.?By staying at home In
?tsad of going to the polls, the Demo
cats of North Carolina permitted the
Republicans to reduce the usual me
Jorlty of the stata Democracy, while
in some Instances this Indifference of
harder flghfb than usual on the pert
of Republicans elected part or ail of
tickets In counties customarily class
ed as Democratic. Except In the
Tenth District, where the defeat of
Congressman James M. Oudger, Jr.,
seems almost certain, there were few
real inroads made by Republicans,
however, and in part payment there
for comes the newe that Mitchell end
Madison counties for the first time In
nearly two-ecore years have both
elected Democrats to the lower house
of the General Assembly.
The reduction in Democratic ma-,
-joritlea reported from all counties
over the state la for the moot part de
counted tor by the light vote cast, but
the . close counties had a tendency to
split their tickets or to elect Repub
licans. Cabarrus county elected the
entire Republican ticket by about IK
majority, the Mtepublican majority in
Catawba was about tba same, Lin
coln elected two Republican officials.
It was at first claimed by Republi

Congressman R. L. Houghton for re

Indicate an entirely different state of
affairs.
Gndger lost heavily In Buncombe
and Rutherford counties and did little
better than hold his own In the rest
of the district, which has about as
many Republicans as Democrats, any
way, and- so lost his seat in Con

Senator Overman and the state

Democratic State Chairman Warren
said at midnight that the vote In

CONGRESS BECAUSE OF ELEC
TION RESULTS.

CLARK WILL BE RE-ELECTED
But Underwood Hat Gone to Senate
~and dther Prominent Yrtembere
' Were Defeated.
Washington.?Many changes In tha
organization of the National House
of Representatives will be made when
Champ Clark and '"Uncle Joe" Cannon
once more face each other across the
center aisle at the beginning of the
next congress. The dwindling of the
Democratic majority, which will drop
after the close of the December ses
sion from 140 to 23. w'll necessitate
a general shifting of the working or
der (n the house.
With their slender majority the
Democrats, while able to re-elect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the commitees. will be forced to main
tain an almost perfect organisation.
Even with a full attendance In the
house a shift of 11 votes woultf throw
the control to the minority side. Prac
tically complete yeturna gave the Dem
ocrats 222, Republicans 19?, Progres
sives, 7; Socialists, 1; Independents
1; doubtful 1. This would give the
Democrats a plurality of 31 over the
Republicans aal a majority of 24 over
the combine! opposition. This narrow
margin probacy will result In a re
arrangement bf committee representa
tion, the -Democrats now holding over
whelming majorities in all of the
standing committees. The falling off
of the Progressives from 19 to 8 will
probably cut down tbelr committee
representation materially and even
may loee them the few Important
places they hold In the present bouee.
Democratic leadership in the house
will undergo great changes. Repre
sentative Underwood was elected to
the senate and will leave the house
at the close of the Democratic sesaion.
Representative Kitchln of North Car
olina, ranking Democrat on the ways
and means committee, will claim the
Democratic leadership by right of
sealorky and Is expected to have" the
support of southern democrats.
Representative Mann of Illinois un
doubtedly will retain the republican
leadership. The election will vacate
live of the fourteen democratic places
qn-?u>e ways and means committee.
Representative Underwood goes to
the senate. Representative Hammond
was elected Governor Of Minnesota,
Representative Mitchell of Massachu
setts was defeated at the polls. Rep
resentative Palmer of Pennsylvania
surrendered his seat to run for the
Senate and was defeated, and Repres
entative Stanley of Kentucky sought
the senatorial nomination In Ken
tucky and lost his place. Representa
tive Murdoch of Kansas, the Progres
sive leader and member of the com
mittee, lost his seat in au effort to go
to- the senate. All of the republican
members of the committee returned.
TRUST WOULD COMPROMISE.
Offer to Accept Decreet by the Courto
to Settle Anti-Truet Caee.
Washington.?The American Sugar
Refining Company ha* made another
proposal to the Department of Justicf
to end the Qovernment anti-trust eult
against It and to settle the question
of Its alleged monopoly of sugar pro
duoion by an agreed decrees such as
recently was made In the New Haven
Railroad civil case.
Although Department of Justice of
ficials declined to discuss the proposal.
It was understood here that James M.
Beck, counsel for the company, made
the proffer and that it was declined.
It was said that the fact that the case
la now In the courts and that a de
cision may be expected shortly figured
In the refusal. It is not known here
lust how tar the company was wilting
to go In meeting the department's de
mands, but it was understood that K
would not agree to an those set forth
in the Government's prayer for a dis
solution.
This is not the first time that nego
tiations have been sat afoot to bring
this case to an end without reeort to
the long way through the Federal
Courts. About a year ago there was
an ?B?rto bring about a compromise
but It proved unsuccessful Just as the
present proposal.
The case against the alleged trust
wss begun about four years ago when
suit was filed under the Sherman act
in the Federal Court In New York
City. It Wat directed against the
American and othpr companies, 30 In
all with an aggregate ctfpttal of $230,
000,000.
Withdrawing Certificate#.
Washington.?Clearing house certi
ficates issued Id large cities of the
country after the outbreak of the
European war have been greatly re
duced In amount, according to a state
ment by Comptroller of the Currency
Williams. "Reports from all portions
of the country," said the statement,
"indicate an emphatic relaxation of
financial tension an Increasing supply
of loanable funds, and steady and un
interrupted progress towards normal
conditions.
. - '
Not Officially Closed.
Washington.?Nary Department of
ficials said the Tuckerton, N. i., wire
less station bad not been closed and
there would be no interference with
official messages. They explained
that the reason for the Western
Union Telegraph Company's an
nouncement was that a congestion of
messages made necessary a temporary
suspension. The suspension of that
business would last-only throb or four
days, U was said, while messages on
hand were hgfrg. disposed of and
some repairs fnadb to the station.

New York and Illinois In t*ie house
membership, and the overwhelming
defeat of Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer by Senator Boles Penrose In
Pennsylvania were featuree of the
early returns.
Democratic leaders, however, were
pleased by a triumph In Masachusetta
where former Representative Samuel
W. McCall was defeated for the gov
ernshlp by Governor Walsh
Early returns Indicated that the
Democrats would retain control of
congress with approximately no
change'In th? senate majority but by
a decldely reduced majority In the
house. At a late hour results In nil

as to the senatorshlp were In doubt.
In Illinois, Roger C. Sullivan who

Bryan, excepted, was leading Is Chi

Senator Shlvley, Democrat, found

In Colorado, Senator Charles S.

The triumph ot Senator Penrose In

Dentocrat, who was ens of the origi
