While voters in record crowds
across America were establish
ing Republican leads in many
contests, the voters of Chapel
Hill and the North state in gen
eral kept the democratic party in
power. Election officials said yes
terday's vote was one of the
smallest in many years.
Carl Durham of Chapel Hill, dem
ocratic candidate for reelection to the
house of representatives from the
sixth district, won an easy majority
in Orange county and was confident
of a great lead throughout his dis
trict. Other democratic nominees to
Orange county offices were sure of
victory.
One Republican Wins
In fact, in Orange county only one
Republican was named to office, J.
Frank Weaver, who was not even a
candidate. A single write-in vote gave
him the post of county surveyor. Elec
ted to a position for which neither
; party had entered any nominations,
Weaver had two votes written in for
him, but the second . was voided by
election officials because of improper
marking on the ballot.
Representative Durham stood by
the Chapel Hill election officials in the
city hall as they tallied returns from
the town's two precincts.
