These figures tell the story of
two of the hardest sate-wide in
tra-party simultaneous fights in
the history ci North Carolina. They
show that Reynolds won over Cam
eron Morrison by the largest vote
ever cast in a Dmocratic primal y,
which vote surpsied even the most
hopeful Reynolds followers. Rey
nolds, himself, in his most san
guine moments, would not have
claimed half the 107,463 majority
he received. They also show that
Richard T. Fountain came up from
under a 47000 lead in the first pri
mary to within 13000 of Ehring
haus, also a surprise. A majority
for Major Fletcher over Clarence
E. Mitchell was expected, the ex
tent uncertain,

390,000 cast in the first primary,
but. held up ter than was ex
pected.

and the winners and losers have
established friendly relations. Sen
ator Cameron Morrison early saw
his defeat and wired congratula
tions to Reynolds, assuring nim c£
his support and worn this fail
Fountain delated because of the
closer vote, has congratulate!
Fhrighaus and given assurance of
hearty support of th centre t abet.
Mitchell extended congratulations
to Fletcher when he found the re
sults. All cf the three successful
candidates have replied in suitable
terms. With the party candidates
selected, all promise to unite,
against “the common enemy.”
