Congress Fage and Webb Defeat Opponents by 4 to 1 Vote. Charlotte Observer, 17th, North Carolina's Democrats in yes terday's primaries showed a decided indisposition to changing their Repre sentatives in the National Congress, all of the Congressmen being return ed, with the probable - Exception of Dr. J. M. Faisontf the third dis trict and J. M. Gudger, Jr., of the tenth. Robert N. Page and Edwin Yates Webb of the seventh and ninth districts, the other Congressmen who had opposition overwhelmingly . de defeated their opponents. Webb show ing about four to one strength over E. R. Preston of Charlotte and Page about the same over Roland F. Beas ley of Monroe. It is doubtful if there has been a choice in the third or tenth, the indi cations being that the fight will be carried to the floor of the- district convention to decide who shall parti cipate in a second primary. Charles R. Thomas claims the victory in the third, and incomplete returns , show him leading in several several coun ties, but George E. Hood of Golds boro one of the six candidates carried Wayne county by 1,500 majority while the vote of Sampson is thought to have been split between Hood and Congressman Faison, with Faison run ning well up with the others in all the counties . Therefore a second primary seems rather likely in the third. In wim KODerr n neynoratr ani-3iT-r gressman James M. Gudger, Jr., well enough in the lead to be the only en trants for a second race.
