' - HOOVER CARRIES THIS STATE FOR PRESIDENT I'raiiMiu County Climbs to Top in Maintaining Traditional Democratic Principle*; All Quiet and Sufe, In Pruuklln Tuesday's election passed off quiet, ly in Fraukllu county. No disorder was reported from 'Tiny section, but the strongest enthusiasm for the Demo cratic cause prevailed since 1900 and rolled up a majority of above 2.10Q for Smith and around 3,200 for Gardner. The largest vote was cast in Frank lin county Tuesday that has been ex. perienced here in a long while, pos sibly since .the campaign of 1900. As a result Franklins majorities will put i* at the top of the list of Democratic counties in the ^tate. The tolowing report of the Slate t lection was taken from yesterday's News and Observer. North Carolina was definitely in the National Republican column yester day as Hoover's lead climbed to 28,. 292 with 18 precincts of the 1,753 pre cincts still to be heard fronp but there was no hope that the Republican ma jority would be decreased, as later returns Increased rather than dlmish. td it. While, North Carolina was break ir? precedent nationally, it held firm ly to Democratic faith within the state as O. Max Gardner's majority over Herbert Seawell, his Republican -yonent for Governor climbed to ' "18, upon "returns from 857 of the ' precincts in th^r State heard The vote for th??e precincts . -liter Majority Climbs AYn. -1- Associated Press With its me...-dical ways plowed through sheets oi messages, State Democratic Chairman Odus M. Mull made a rapid csKwi^Uca Showing that Gardner had a icujort.y of 71,107 votes on the tace (?I returns from SO counties and esti mated returns In other. This was close to the 76,000 majority received two years ago by the Democrats. As Hoover's majority climbed, so old Gardner's so that it was not an ticipated that later returns would ma. tcrlally change the result. While it appeared that the Repub licans had captured two Congressmen ftom the ninth and tenth districts, they failed to make a dent in the Legislature, as they only got less than a third ot the members in each house. Even counties - like Ruther rordton that elected some Republican county officers, sent Democrats to the Legislature, but there were others like Rowan and Gaston that made a clean sweep. Only a few scattering returns had been received up to tonight on the Three Constitutional amendments vot. c! on at the election Tuesday. They were so few that no tabulation had been made tonight, only five counties havng been only partially reported. Mnth and Tenth In Denbt Two Democratic Congressmen ap parently had gone down In defeat in the Republican landslide ot Tues day. Congressman Zebulon Weaver, of the Tenth District, had not con. ceded defeat by George M. Pritchard, Republican, but with the loss ot his own county of Buncombe, It was dou?? ed if he could pull through. Weaver carried Haywood and Clay, by good margins, Rutherfordton by a small margin, but the balance looked Re publican. Charles A. Jones, Republican, had c slight lead of 300 in the Ninth over Congressman Bulwinkle with 30 pre cincts still to be heard from. Bulwin kle carried Mecklenburg by nearly 6,000, but lost his own county of Gas ton by 64 votes. While reports yesterday indicated that Major Charles M. Stedman was paving a close race In the Fifth with Junius M. Harden, the only Confed erate veteran in Congress had a lead of 3,000 votes last night. His own coun ty qf Guilford returned a majority of nearly 500 for hlB opponent.
