Raleigh, Dec. 3.?Thanksgiving has
come and goue again. The slgniil
cauce of the day was duly recogulzed
lu a geueral way here and Raleign
churches entered into the spirit of
th eevent with appropriate services.
\n tile churches of all denominatloiy
represented here united in the effort
.o help gladden the lives of the hun
Ireds of fatherless and motherless
children now under the fosteriug care
ot the orphan homes of the State to
responding, to the call of the North
Carolina Orphan Association for lib
eral contribu ions at Thanksgiving
The children at all the homes were fa
\ored with ice cream for dinner des
sert through the generosity of the
North Carolina Ice Cream Manufac
turers' Association and a stream of .
gold followed the day after from
c.lurches, lodges and Individuals into
the coffers- of the orphanage treas
uries- Those who overlooked, this
f pportunity for service on or before
Thanksgiving Dfcy are still privilege
ed to show their love for the orphaned
children, of North Carolina and their
appreciation of vthe orphan homes
.which are nourishing and bringing
mem up under christian inuences. It
is never tbo late to do good, Christ
mas is the next stop.
Raleigh hears that Governor-elect
0 Max Gardner desires to be induct
ed into office with the usual forma
lities and ceremonies rather than de
part from the old -custom simply to
harmonize with the amendment to
the State Constitution adopted by the
l-eople two years ago making lawful
the inauguration of the Governor and
Mother State officers on the first day
of January. Hitherto the inaugural
ceremonies have not taken place for
a week or ten days after the assemb
ling of the General Assembly and un
til a canvass of the vote by Joint com
mittees of the two branches had been
made. The 1926 amendment makes
possible tbt elimination of this for
mality, but Mr. Gardner dissents. The
\tt?inby General's office holds the
new idea is not-a compulsory proce
dure and the former custom ot usher
ing in -a new administration is likely
to be observed this time. -The hope
of salary increases for the tonstita
Manal officers is advanced as another
leaser, for waiting several days after
The meeting of the Legislature to
inaugurate the ne^ administration.
Tlris would enable all State officials
to realize the benefit of any salary
'ncreases enacted prior to the assump
t'.on of duties assigned to them un
der tffefonstltutlonal requirement It |
is probable that the present Govern
or will, on request ot the.Governor
elect, hold over until January 11 and j
recommend the visual plans !V>r the |
inaugural ceremonies. Mr. Gardner!
is sitting informally with the Advis
ory Budget c6mmlssion in the prepa-.
? ation of the budget for the biennium j
beginning/July 1, 1929.
The official canvass Of the votes
cast the recent State election
show/ little change from the result
a ready announced.' HooVer for Pres
iihfnt carried sixty-one of of 100 coun
tits, receiving a total vote of 349,795
to 288.108 for Governor Smith and
his majority is 61.687. 0. Max Gard
ner led the State ticket with 362.000
votes and a majority -of 72.594. He
received 12.205 moye votes than Her
bert Hoover thus emerging from the
conflict as the most popular candi
date of any party In the State this
vtar. An error of 2,000 votes given
A. T. Allen for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction in the early
counting placed his name at the head
rt the ticket in the number of votes
received, btft a re-checking of returns
1 educed him in ranks, and placed th<?
head-of the ticket at the top. The of
ficial returns show that Stanly Wll
bcrne, elector from the First District
and high man on the Democratic Na
tional ticket, received 288,008 votas
as compared with 286,407 given Clyde
R. Hoey, elector at large whose nam-i
appeared first on the Smith ticket for
President. Stuart W. Cramer, elector
at laige, whose name headed the Re
pub.ican National ticket in the. State,
received 349,795 votes, a plurality of
63388 over Hoey and 61,787 over Win
borne indicating that dround 2,000
voters declined to cast their ballots
for Hoey as reprisal for his strong
and vigorous _ support of Governor
Smith. Scratching candidates for
elector was a common practice lu
many counties on election day, a
rori.iug to returns hied here with the
State Board of Elections and the Sev
reta.v of State.
Sworn statements filed with the
Secretary of State show an expend!
tare of $74,178 by the Reoiiblicnns
and $49,620 by the Democrats In the
recent campaign. The Republicans
received $25,000 from the National
Committee, while the Democrats were
unable to extract an amount in ex
cess of $10,000 from Chairman Ras
cot?. It is little wonder, therefore,
that the Republicans were successful
in their effort to carry the State for
Secretary Hoover, elect two congress
men, thirty-five representatives to the
General Assembly and thirteen State
Senators. Early in the year many De
mocrats made up their minds thai
they would not support Governor
Smith and remained adamant to the
end of the contest A divided Demo
cracy gave hope to the Republicans
and thousands of them swarmed to
the polls on November 6th who had
not voted for years and years. The
money they spent .went to special
workers. According to the report C.
Jamison, of Charlotte, headed their
list of contributors with a check for
$25,000 Former Governor Morrison,
also of Charlotte, was the leading
contributor to the Democratic fund,
giving $5,000.
Tabulations recently completed by
the State Department of Public In
struction show that there were 843.-'
778 children enrolled in the public
