'?!<? primary, Joslah W. Bailey, who conceded his defeat. ? McLeans vote was 130,288 to t for Mr. Bailey. The total vote reproached the 200,000 mark and gave r- ''mise of reaching well toward 2*i>.Qn0 ' cfore all returns are In. J. Elinor Long, when 1.0&6 precincts had been tabulated was still leading in the cornered race for lieutenant governorship. R. R. Reynolds was sec ond while T. C. Bowie trailed third. The vote stood: Long, 52,810; Reyn olds. 46,732: and Bowie, 39,220. Frcm his home in Asheville, Mr. Reynolds yesterday afternoon put out a statement to the effect that accord ing to tabulations kept by him, he was leading Long by 5.000 votes and was strre of the nomination. An agree ment between Long and Reynolds would make unnecessary any second primary in the event either of the two led in the final returns. Shipman Ahead With 922 precincts reporting. M. L. Shipman. Commissioner of Labor and Printing was leading his nearest op ponent, Prank Grist by approximately 3.500 votes. In the four cornered race for Commissioner of Labor and Print ing in which a second primary appears inevitable, the vote with more than half the precincts In the Slate heard from, was: Shipman. 51,419; Grist, 47,715; Q. J. Peterson and .Luther M. Nash, who trailed the leaders had re spectively 17,438 and 10,881. A total cf 1.024 precincts strength ened the leBd of Dennis O. Brummitt over the field for the office of At torney General. Mr. Brummltt's vote was 51.985. Charles Ross, of Isling ton. had a total of 44,110; and Frank Nash, 33,694. W A. Graham. Commissioner ot Agrl culture has also Stretched out In ad vance of his opposition. On the basis of returns from 1,033 precincts, Mr. Graham had a lead of 16,000. The vote at the tabulation of virtually two thirds of the precincts of the State stood: Oraham. 65,593; Fred Latham, 47,072; and T. B. Parker. 22,214. Major Baxter Durham, on the hasls o f last report, was advancing his margin orer J. P. Cook, of Concord, for Slate Auditor, while Judge George Pell, for the Corporation commission had outdistanced his opponent, Oscar Carpenter. Stacey W. Wade, Insurance Commissioner, who had merely sem blance of a fight called it a day yester day and today, after smashing defeat to J. Prank Flowers who undertook to beat him, will go to his home coun ty of Carteret for a few days vacation. McLean Majority Increases The McLean majority, apparent in the first rush of scattered returns Saturday night has mounted slowly since that time. The expected reduc tion with later reports did not de velop as more complete counts were available. "That reductionmight have been looked for years ago when returns were brought to the county seat by ejection officials on horseback over muddy roads several days after elec tion," said one experienced politician yesterday. ?It is noticeable now that the rural vote from which Mr. Bailey expected his great strength was re ported along with city returns. When half of the counties in the State had been heard from, even though the re turns were incomplete, the figures showed a very clear cross section of the sentiment in N'orth Carolna.." In the face of his defeat, Mr. Bailey yesterday issued a formal statement In which he pledged his continued support of the party and expressed his wl3he8 for a successful administra tion of his opponent. He announced that, after a very short vacation, he will be again in the practice of law In Raleigh. Bailey Statement "Five months ago." said Mr. Bailey, "?I set out upon an undertaking ? be ing nothing less *han to Interpret the spirit of Progressive Democracy in our Commonwealth ? by means of the can didacy of myself for the nomination of the Democratic party for governor. I stated as the principle of this under taking that politics ought not to be regarded as the means of power or honors or office or privilege, but as the means of maintaining human rights and welfare and progress. I declared that in a democracy the moral power of the people must prevail over mere self-seeking, whether by individuals, groups or machines. I undertook to apply these principles throughout the campaign In terms of r. sound and just taxation system; Just frelyht rates; election and primary laws provldiny every facility for the expression of the will of the voters and preventing the power qf money in politics; and economic adminstratlon of public af fairs. I have done my best to advance these principles and causes. To what extent I have succeeded remains to be disclosed. "The primary has resulted In the nomlnaton of my opponent. I wish for him and all who may be associated with him In the campaign the coming Fall the utmost success, and there after an administration that will re HOW. ANGUS WILTOIf MeLEA5 OFFICIAL. VOTE!

BAILEY LEADS McLEAN IN COUNTY Holden, Strickland and Wilson Get By On First Ballot FINE SPIRIT MAINTAINED 1 AT POLLS Justice Leads With Lancaster, Second For Sheriff ? Massen j burg Leads With Whitfield Second For House ? Beam^ Leads with Newell Second! For Recorder ? Members! Board of Education Recom mended ? Constables Win The primary held in Franklin Coun ty on last Saturday passed off very smoothly, only in solated cases were i there reports of confusion and in no j case was there reported any distur bance. The most striking features i noticeable both from the crowds at I the polls and the tabulated results, I was the great work don<? for each candidate by their friends and sup porters. Interest centered in most all the offices and al contests. but was' strongest in the Gubernatorial and House of Representatives contest and the members of the Board cf County Commissioners and Education form District No. 5. The Recorders contest also came in for a share in the in terest of the day. The friends of Mr. Bail y who had made a strong speech to a court house full of people on Friday before, ral lied to his support all over the county With the result that he carried six out of the ten precincts with a vote in the county of 1,860 or a majority of 509. The friends of Mr. McLean made a strong fight, and althouo^h they did not carry the county for their favorite, those closest in touch with the politi cal situation concede the fact that they greatly reduced" what otherwise would have been a much bigger ma jority. McLean carried Dunns, Harris, and Louisburg townships. | There was no special interest in the remainder of the state ticket. However Long lead his two opponents for Lieu tenant Governor. Whilo Durham for Auditor, Brummitt for Attorney Gen eral, Graham for Commissioner of Agriculture, Shipman Commissioner of Labor and Printing, Wade for In surance Commmisoioner. and Pell for Corporative Commissioner lead their opponents for their respective offices In the Congressional contest Person received 2,317 and Pou 890, giving Person a ^rood majority over his op ponent. In the Sheriff contest Justice lead his three opponents, but not suffi-j cient to eliminate the second primary. Lancaster came in second best and is entitled to run it off with Justice if he so elects. Sidney C. Holden got a big majority ovor both of his opponents for Re gister of Deeds thereby receiving the nomination on the first ballot. The five cornered fight for the office of Judge of the Recorders Court was lead by Beam with Newell running second. The lead however was not sufficient to make a nomination. There were only two contests for County Commissioners. In District No. 3 Wilson defeated Speed, the present encumbent by 41 votes. In District No. 5 Arthur Strickland, the present Chair man of the Board defeated his two opponents. C. M. Vauglian and R. P Taylor, by a majority of 228. The three contests on the Board of Education were conducted with much ease and smoothness, but with much interest. In District Xo. 2 Greende feated Allen by a majority of 1.927. In District No. 3 Joyner defeated Med lin by a majority of 534, while in Dis trict No. 5 Johnson defeated Jones by a majority of 749. Mullen from Dis trict No. 1 and Dickens from District No. 4 had no opposition. The Constable contests in the three townships resulted in Ayscue defeat ing his two opponents. King and Young in Harris township, in a majority of 11. In Hayesville township, the only Republican contest in the county was decided in favor of J. S. Rowland by a majority of 3 'over his two oppon ents. F. M. Ayscue and B. S. Mitchell. I In Louisburg Township J. A. Bledsoe won over his opponent. J. E. Thomas, by a majority of 04. At present no positive request has , been filed for a second primary, bwt indications are that it will be hekt [the sceond highest in each contest failing to nominate, has the right to file a request for the second primary within five days after the votes of the primary has been canvassed and the result announced, and therefore will have till Saturday June 14th to make such request. We understand that several of the seconds have stated they would not cause the county to hold a second primary as an individual, but that, if there is to be a second primary any way they will enter. If the second primary Is called It will be held on Saturday. July 4th, 1924. or four weeks from the first pri mary. Every one speaks nicely of the fine order maintained throughout the coun ty at the polls and voting places on I last Saturday. | ? KE1TRNS TO LOIISBUBG AFTER 40 YEARS ARSESCE Mr. H.
