Robeson County supported the democratic ticket overwhelming ly in the Tuesday vote. Fair weather brought out almost as many voters as did the spring primaries and the great majority voted the straight democratic ticket. Progressives fared badly in the State of Robeson and Strom Thurmond accounted for very few of the votes. Democratic candidates were elected to all state offices. The democratic nominations stood up in the county slate.

Representatives from Lumberton, Red Springs, Fayetteville, St. Pauls and Evergreen were pres ent and all signified their intention of entering a team in the league President Truman upset the una nimous prediction of pollsters, com mentators, and politicians through out the country io his decisive de feat of Thomas E. Dewey, for the Presidency of the United -States. Up to the very last moment Dewey was slated to win by a small but comfortable majority. The early returns' indicated a nip-and-tuck race, but Truman showed a slight edge which Dewey was expected to overcome. The Truman majority in Illinois and Indiana became the deciding factor and Mr. Dewey’s concession of victory to the Presi dent came early Wednesday mourn ing when the Democratic advantage in those states rose too high ’ to be overcome. 1 ’ North Carolina went solidly for Truman as it did for all other democratic candidates.
