Raleigh. -With the added vote of a
few counties, : the res ult in the : sena
torial primary is unchansed; Senator
Simmons having about 25,000 majority.
No table is printed because the
changes were too .inconsequential - to
tuLlie necessary j a . new ? one. - A few
counties have sent irL ; their majorities
but few of : their total vote. - It is
therefore impossible to say how. many
votes were cast in the senatorial pri
mary. -" - , ' " -
The sweeping character of the ..vic
tory makes the : difficulty ; of; detailed
statement -greater. The e Democratic
headquarters will "wire a local v lead
r in as county asking how s the county
went And that gentleman will tele
, graph - the senatorial vote, say . "the
. county is safe," and that's all that can
be secured.
The majority of the state ticfcetli
equally unknown. There are estimates
from 50,000 to 70,000. -fhese figures
indicate the htghest and 1 lowest
guesses. There is probably not a
state officer ."who has received less than
60.000. The electoral ticket has been
given substantially the same majority.
The general i assembly ' complexion
is unchanged. They are pretty nearly
all Democrats. Former Lieutenant
Governor R. A. Doughton brought .the
good news that E. S, Coffey, conced
ed the opposition, was chosen from
the Boone district. " -
