some of these precincts the majorities

returned Tuesday very flattering ma
jorities for the Democratic ticket.

Democrats Make
Gains In Nation
Coolidge Landslide of Two Years
Ago Is Overturned—Senator
Butler Defeated.
Incomplete returns from the elec
tion Tuesday indicate that the Demo
crats have captured seven of the nine
places constituting the Republican
majority in the senate, thereby leav
ing the balance of power in a little
group of insurgent Republicans who
usually vote with the Democrats.
By taking fourteen of the Republi
can seats ih the House the Democrats
have left the balance of power there
also in the hands of the insurgent
Republicans.
Thus the Democratic thrust in the
off-year election virtually overturned
the Coolidge landslide of two years
ago. Republicans elected in many con
gressional districts found the going
hard and the re-election of many is
still in doubt.
The Democrats on Tuesday elected
their first governor of South Dakota
in 25 years. They carried also the
strong Republican state of Colorado.
In Indiana, the Democrats re-elected
Vic Donahey to the governorship, but
Watson, Republican, defeated Pomer
ent, the Democratic candidate for
senator.
The Democrats defeated Republican
senators in Kentucky, Missouri, Ari
zona and Maryland. In Oklahoma
the Democrats unhoised another Re
publican senator. The tidal wave of
Democratic votes in New York State
re-elected A1 Smith governor for the
fourth time by the biggest majority
in history and also elected a United
States senator. In Massachusetts,
Senator Butler, close friend of Presi
dent Coolidge, was beaten badly by
the Democratic- nominee. Senator
Butler is chairman of the National
Republican Executive Committee and
the President’s confidential advisor.
Hard lick at Coolidge.
With returns from eight districts
throughout the country missing, the
Democrats have 193 members of the
House of Representatives, while the
Republicans have 232, included in
which are enough insurgent Republi
cans to take control away from the
standpat element.

Suggestions For
“Gean Up” Week
Guilford County Home Agent
Offers Some Valuable Sug
gestion For This Work.
Asheboro has had a custom for
many years of having a fall cleaning,
and it would be well for the entire
county to join in a general clean up.
Miss Houston, home demonstration
agent of Guilford county, has made
the following suggestions which could
be followed in Randolph county with
profit.
The November letter of sugges
tions sent by Miss Addie Houston,
home agent, to the Guilford county
entrants in the gardening contest,
reminds them that November is a
good time for a general clean-up.
A number of persons in the county
are enrolled in the contest. The
letter follows:
“November is a good time to have
a general garden dean-up. Burn all
diseased plants and make a compost
heap from manure and garden refuse
which is free from disease. Do not
bum fallep leaves. Add them to
the compost pile. Plow unoccupied
portions of the garden and leave ex
posed to the freezing and thawing
of winter weather.
“If the garden is minus an aspara
gus bed, or if the old'bed has run
out, now is the time to set crowns
for a new bed. Plant vigorous one
year-old crowns in furrows eight to
12 inches deep and cover to a depth
of three or four inches. In most sec
tions of the state cabbage plants
may be set now for the early spring
crop. Lettuce seed may be sown in
cold frames and the plants carried
through the winter months for early
spring heading. In some of the coast
al sections the plants may be grown

Eighty-Eight Out Of The lOi
Counties In North Carolina
Are Democratic .
JOHNSON AND SAMPSON
RETURNED TO DEMOCRATS
Every Congressman Re-Elected
By Safe Majority—Hayes
Badly Beaten.
On the basis of late returns from
the 100 counties in North Carolina,
the indications are that the Demo
crats held their own and probably will
roll up a majority of 100,000 votes.
The vote throughout the State waa
light. An even dozen counties went
Republican, while the other 88 are
safely in the Democratic fold. Tick
ets were split in several counties.
Over in Davidson the entire Demo
cratic ticket was elected with the ex
ception of Sheriff R. B. Talbert, who
was beaten by Fred C. Sink by a
small majority. Stanly went Demo
cratic by 200; Chatham by 1,500;
Montgomery by- nearly 1,000; Gpil
ford by more than 2,000. In the usual
Democratic counties throughout the
State the Democrats held their own,
increasing majorities in some. In the
regular Republican counties the Re
publican majorities showed a decided
slump. Wilkes, usually Republican
by 4,000 and over, went Republican
Tuesday by less than 1,500. Davie
and Yadkin showed decreased Repub
lican majorities.
Two of the big upsets for the Re
publicans were Johnson and Sampson,
both of which were carried by the
Democrats. In Johnson, the Demo
crats, beaten by more than 2,000 two
years ago, rolled up a majority of
more than 1,000. Sampson county,
home of Marion Butler, usually Re
publican by 2,600, went Democratic
by 260 majority, the first time in 32
years the Democrats have carried the
county. The Democrats have had one
continuous celebration in the county
since Tuesday.
Johnson J. Hayes, Republican can
didate for United States Senator, lost
by nearly 100,000 votes to Senator Lee
S. Overman. Only one Republican
candidate for solicitor seems to have
been elected and he is John R. Jones
over in the 17th district. Zeb Lons
in this the 15th district had no oppo
sition, All the StateJfcl
Except for mixed, tickets in
son, Randolph, Brunswick
rell, the Democrats carried every
county east of the Blue Ridge.
All ten of the Democratic nominees
for Congress in North Carolina were
elected by substantial majorities. Mr.
Hammer was re-elected in the 7th by
a majority approximating 6,500. Vot
ing in the lower counties was not as
heavy as two years ago when the
Port bill brought out the Democratic
strength in larger numbers, but the
vote was more than in any other off
year election on record. Steady rain
in some of the lower counties of the
seventh district during Tuesday was
responsible for a light vote also.
However, Republican majorities in
Wilkes, Yadkin and Davie are greatly
reduced. Moore and Montgomery
gave Mr. Hammer greatly increased
majorities, more than 1,000 each.
Lee and Richmond also gave him the
largest majority given any candidate.
