Demos Go Down In Near Record Loss Watauga County Democrats went down to what is perhaps their most disastrous defeat in forty years Tuesday when the Republicans took over all coun ty offices by majorities ranging up to over a thousand votes. Torn by division and internal strife, Democrats were unable to set up an effective organiza tion. Troubles in last spring's primary and tax revaluation by outside appraisers sparked the Democratic deflection, while the Republicans found them selves in a satisfactory degree of accord. Every Republican candidate won handily, in some instances by what should be fairly called landslide proportions, reminis cent of the sweep the G. O. P. gained here in their good year of 1920, when majorities soared around a thousand votes. The Results J. Wilson Norris, R, won over Ira T. Johnston, D, for the State Senate 4016 to 3307. For the House is was James Holshouser, R, 4,2. i and Gor don H. Winkler, D, 3184. Clerk Superior Court: Foster, R, 3954, South, D, 3477. Sheriff: Cheek, R, 4265, Hod Mi) V. 3096.
