North Carolina's answer to
President Wilson's appeal for a
pro administration Congress was
given at the polls in a hundred
counties Tuesday and by reason
ol it, ten Democratic members
of the House and one Demo
cratic Senator are assured of
seats in (be next Congress.
The response of the people oT
the State, in terms of a maiority
of fuS^^Votes, was a Ring
ing rebuke to the National and
State ieaderrof thev Republican
Pprty and no less a tribute to the
common sense and. patriotism
of the masses of the people. '
By virtue of the sweeping
Democratic victory, the entire
State ticket of two Corporation
Commissioners, a- Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court and two
portions of North Carolina, the
Democratic majority was far the
handsomest since 1900. Fully
30,000 Democratic voters, it is
estimated, are in the military
service. In spite of full notice
of the privilege of absentee vot
ing only a small percentage of
those availed themselves of the
opportunity of casting a vote.
But while many of these were
fighting, the people back home
wera voting and both were giv
ing fullest support to the nation's
commander its chief.
