DEMOCRACY SWEEPS THE DECK.
Majority in Sta:? Estimated r.t 35,000
General As-cnbly Overwhelmingly
Democrat:;: Overman and Travis
Receive Bl:r Majorities All Demo
cratic Judges Elected and 19 Out
of 20 Solicitors Democrats.
Lc.leigh News and Observer, 4th.
I Yesterday's election in North Caro
: Una was rnarLd by general apathy
I on the part of Democrats resulting in
reduced majorities and in some in
stances in the loss of Legislative and
county officers to the opposition.
Senator Overman, Corporation Com
r.iLjicr.er TravL and the ten Demo
cratic judges are all sr.fely re-elected
by majorities which at this time can.
not be anything less than 35,000.
The Republicans have captured a
number of seats in the House and the
Democrats will still have around one
hundred members in the lower House
and between forty and forty-five mem
bers in the State Senate.
The Democrats were successful in
nine of the congressional districts of
th State, the 1 jnth Is in toubt, both,
siils claiming that, district. The
Democrats have not yet conceded the
loss of the tenth. Congressman
oughton of the eighth district upon
whom a stiff ght was made seem3 to
have been returned by a handsome
vote.
Nothing de.ir.lte is obtainable as to
the fate of the ten amendments at
this hour. Some counties voted heav
ily against them while others voted
just as much in favor and for this rea
son the result cannot be given. The
issue is close, with chances favoring
the defeat of the seventh amendment
especially.
The next General Assembly will ':?
overwhelmingly Democratic. With
incomplete returns it appears that in
the House there will be 100 Demo
crats out of 10, and in the Senate at
least 45 Democrats out of the 50. Tht;
r;cord shows that the people right
fully have confidence in the Demo
cratic party, that it is the party which
best serves the people.

victory of Charles S. Whitman for

States Senate, were indicated to
night in early returns of the elec

G. Cannon, decisive Republican gains
in New York and Illinois in the House
membership, and the overwhelming
defeat of Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer by Senator Boies Penrose 'r,

early returns.
Democratic leaden, however, were
pleased by a triumph in Massachu

Samuel W. MeCall wa3 defeated for
the Governorship by Governor Walsh.
Early returns indicated that the
Democrats would retain control of
Congress with approximately ; no
change in the Senate majority but by
a decidedly reduced majority in the
