Re publicans claimed that a mistake had been made and the matter will be further investigated.

Shortly after the election board mot at eleven o’clock and the canvass had begun, Chairman J. Milton Cooper announced that at the request, through an affidavit, by W. A. .McNiei, Democratic candidate for representative, bal- Tbt boxes in Rock Creek, Jobs Cabin No. 1 and Somers precincts be impounded and recounted.

The outcome of the request for ■* recounts, protests, etc., was not settled in the meeting today and the session of th© board tomor row may bring further develop ments. The majorities given Mr. Doughton for sheriff and Mr. Pin- ley for commissioner were con sidered the biggest upsets in " Tuesday’s election In this part of the country, Wilkes being consid ered a “rock-ribbed” Republican stronghold.

Tues- With a more attractive list of valuable awards than has ever been offered In this vicinity in a similar undertaking, Th© Journ al - Patriot makes formal an nouncement of a big ca.sh offer campaign in which hundreds of dollars in big awards and cash commissions will be given away. A two-page announcement in this issue glve.s the details of this big enterprise. The list consists of some of the most alluring and at tractive awards imaginable. The object of this cash offer campaign is to increase the al ready wide and highly creditable circulation of this newspaper to even greater proportions. This paper is going to pay lU friends handsomely for helping to Intro duce tb© publication to other friends, and neighbors. The award list la beaded with valuable cash awards, and the plan adopted by The Journal-Pa triot is a novel one. This paper could reach thousands of new readers by employing scores of solicitors to cover this section, but it would take quite a long time to do the work thoroughly. |s. Inaugurating the cash tmrday .— Pl&ns for Roll Call COOPERATION ASKED Schools Heads, Ministers And Everybody Asked To Help Central committee of the Wilkes county chapter of the American Red Cross met yester day afternoon at Hotel Wilkes to lay plans for the annual roll call membership drive which 'will actively begin in the county on .Armistic Day, November 11. The chapter now is well or ganized for the drive and Rev. Eugene Olive is roll call chair man with C. B. Eller, county superintendent of schools, chair man for the rural areas in the county.

Scattered congressional elec tion returns indicated the worst the Roosevelt administration fac ed was a possible loss of only ten to 20 Democratic seats. There was a possibility even of a gain. In 1934 the voters returned 322 Democrats and 103 Republicans to the House. Incomplete returns indicated Republicans had picked up two Democratic House seats in Kan sas. Democrats won two Republi can seats in Connecticut, one each in Rhode Island and California. In Pennsylvania Republicans took a Democratic seat but lost five of their own as that state went into the Roosevelt column.

VOTE ON COUNTY TICKET IN WILKES IS SWEEPING VICTORY Tremendous Vote Cast In Endorsement New Deal; New Record Set President Roosevelt was lead ing Governor Alf M. Landon or had won In 46 of the 48 states in * an overwhelming electoral en dorsement of new deal anti-de pression policies. Governor Lan don conceded Mr. Roosevelt’s re- election shortly after midnight Tuesday. Only Maine and Vermont re mained true to the Republican tradition, according to Incomplete United Press tabulations. New Hampshire, listed through the night as one of the little group of three probable Landon states shifted at 8:30 a. m. (e.s.t.) to tire Roosevelt column. The mar gin was slightly more than 2,000 votes with two precincts still to report. The nation voted, according to incomplete United Press returns, to continue In power the admin istration which Mr. Roosevelt promised “has only just begun to fight.’’ The President coupled (Continued on page ten) Going Forward On City Streets Memorial Avenue, Eighth Street and East End B Street Surfaced If weather conditions are fav orable work of resurfacing the asphalt streets in North Wllkes- boro will be completed in »-.bout ten days, G.

The caiui orier, campaign will make a lot more noise and create Interest and fun and there i^ nothing like having some fun/rtong with business. 'Rig Pay For AU An especially attractive feature of the “Cash Offer Campaign” la that all will be paid well for the results they obtain. A cash eom- mlssion of 20 per cent will be paid to all who remain active and do not win one*of the regu lar aw’ards. Thus the cash offer campaign is a sure thing from the beginning. Their reward de pends entirely on the effort put forth and th© results obtained. Spare Time ^ All one is expected to do in or der to earn one of the splendid awards is to devote his or her spare moments to obtain sub scriptions to the Journal-Patriot. In fact, sufficient time is allotted to the campaign to allow on© to see every friend and acquaintance during spare time. The campaign will last six weeks, beginning with the first published list of candidates’ names. BusiueL-^ Proposition In offering such valuable a- wards to those who tak© an ac tive Interest The Journal-Patriot is not playing the part of the philanthropist—neither is it a something-for-nothing scheme. It is a business proposition pure and simple. The hundreds of dol lars worth of awards and cash commi^ions will be given in ex change for well directed effort on the part of the contestants. The awards themselves assure each and every one that their ef forts will bear fruit to the fullest extent. Eariy Start Is Best In every man's life there is one big moment when he makes decision that robs him Of suc- cem—or leads him to fortune.
