' Well, if we did - get left on the Na tional election we have the consola tion of knowing that it is over and cannot occur again for four years. What caused such diversity of opin ion as to the outcome of the election was that all the political leaders on both sides talked at the same time. A reading of the election returns makes one think that some of the campaign managers knew all the time that they were talking through their hats. ' It seems that North Carolina didn't want a "business ; man" of the Cox stripe for Governor.' A man is some times judged by the company j he keeps. ' ; -T-:r.

In no cam paign for many years have election re turns Wenty-f our hours after the polls closed been so meagre the State over as to the election, there having been thus far received a mere handful of actual county reports in Democratic headquarters here. S State Chairman' Eller last night claimed that the State ticket majori ty was 40,000 to 45,000. During to day he estimated it asjprobably 40,000 and tonight thinks it can't be less than 35,000. . ,.,v-.- .i'ii.,--::. rV-.V ' 1 Governor Glenn who came in from Winston-Salem and.;- Greensboro to night believes thte majority will not be over 30,000. - - - Reports from i newspaper sources here tonight indicate 30,000 t 35,000 majority. The loss of the Eighth Con gressional District by 1,500 is conced ed by Democrats. - The tenth is "claim ed by both parties. A telegram came from the chairman of . Haywood coum ty to tha , effect th5 Crawford, Dem ocrat, had carried the district by 240. Reports ,. from the Fifth district are conflicting. A press " special says Brooks, Democrat, is elected by 500 but otther advices Indicate that More head, Rfspublican, is elected v by a small majority. .. ! - Late tonight Chairman Eller said further returns showUhat the Demo crats gained . members ;ofr the Legisla ture in Graham, ; Clay, Pplk, Person, Pamlico, Darta '.and " Brunswick. The net loss of members of the House he estimates to be certainly not over ten with a safe and even large; Democratic maiorities in. both the House and Sent ate for the 1909 Legislature- r ijXne jjemocratic. iegisiaTive losses seem Jto be in. Rqckingham, Forsyth, Orange, Davidson, caDarrus ; ana . iun combe. . . ,. , Chairman Eller says . it is evident the-' Renublicans concentrated their effort in close counties, especially on the legislative ticket. Democrats lost no county where the. former majorities weia considered safe. He says 4his being" a presidential year and the year following the discus sion and settlement of gpat problems which divided out the people, it was expected that the dominant party would feel the effect of such adjust ment of these problems as all parties must do. - The further fact . that for twelve years . the Republican party has been persistently preaching the doctrine that prosperity follows their policies and disaster; follows Demo cratic policies, has of course had its effect, while the Democratic party ex posed' these fallacies, yet it wis im possible in the course of a. short cam- paign io reacn ail tut; people jiiiu rxs move the impressions which had, been instilled for years. So that, f udder such circumstances ,tha Democratic party should feel i proud i of ' the i vote polled. - And that ; the party stood N so firm, goes to show that the Democracy of North Carolina is determined - to take cars of her own State under any and ail circumstances. ? ftjl Democratic . headquarters telegrams showed counties Democratic: Ruth erford, 261; Bladen, 500; Rowan 600; Halifax, 2,000; Sampson, 1,500 Repub lican..
