B.V J. C. BASKEKVILL
Raleigh, Nov. 2.—Declaring that!
Itemoerntic headquarters did not eon-j
••ede a single county to the Kepubli- j
eons in the election today, and that I
tile campaign bad been satisfactory, i
despite an apparent lack of interest!
at the beginning of the campaign.!
John (J. Dawson, chairman of the
Stale Democratic committee, today
predicted that the Democratic party
would he continued in power by ma
joirities greater than those in other
off year elections and that the Demo
crats would reclaim a number of for
incT Republican counties, in a finnl
statement to the Democratic voters of
the state today. He alsd made an
appeal to all Democratic voters to ex
ercise their constitutional rights and
vote,
“The campaign has been satisfac
tory to the Democratic party," Mr.
Dawson said. "True, the interest
has not been equal to that of a presi
dential and gubernatorial year, but it
lias been sufficient to assure the con
tinuation of Democratic government '
by majorities exceeding those of for
mer off year elections. Senator Lee !
(K. Overman, one corporation eommis- '
sinner, A. ,T. Maxwell: ten congress- '
men. four supreme court justices, elev
en superior court judges and practic
ally all the district candidates of the
Democratic fuith will be elected by
great majorities, while the Democrats
will reclaim several Republican conn- !
ties.
"The people are too well satisfied 1
with the splendid Democratic manage
ment and too many are yet alive
lived in the ignoble days preceding
11X10 wtietfHfce Republicans held con
trol to tWnk of rettirnhtg to Rentin'
, limn domination. If the past shall
' not direct us Into the future, what 1
shall be our guiding light?" Mr. Daw
son's statement concludes.
And Mr. Dawson was but reflect
ing the opinion of the Democratic
party leaders in all sections of the ;
state, who huve been keeping in close
touch with the situation. All are
agreed that the only close tights are
local in character, mainly between
county officers, and in a few cases be- |
tween candidates for the legislature,
and that the majority of the other
candidates are in little or no danger.
In fact, because of the large num- ,
ber of hot local fights, party leaders i
are confident that the total vote cast
will be larger than the vote cast in
the last off year election in 1922 and
that the Democratic majority will be
anywhere from 85,000 to 100,000 when
the votes are counted tonight. The
majority in 1022 was $4,800, with but
little more than 50 per cent, of the
registered Democratic votes cast.
Hence it is generally believed that the
vote today cannot possibly be less
than that enst in 1022, and that in
many cases it will greatly excedd
it.
It is generally known that Demo
crats nre freely predicting that Johns
ton county, site-of one of the hottest
fights of the campaign, will be brought
back into the Democratic fold and al
though Democratic headquarters will
not say definitely what the situation,
it is known that this belief is shared
there. Even in Wilkes county many
believe that Julius ltosseau has an ex
cellent chance to defeat Jones for so
lieitor, despite the fact that Jones
lias been the law partner of Johnson
J. Hayes for the past twelve years.
► Although Brunswick county went Re
st publican in 1922 by a very small mar
gin. and has been considered as doubt
ful territory ever since, hopes are high
for its return into the Democratic
fold.
Although at the beginning of the
campaign some misgivings were felt
as to Burke, Catawba and Davidson
counties, Democratic leaders have been
assured of a substantial majority in
each of these counties today. The
same is true of Randolph, Chatham
aud McDowell counties, which are now
believed to be safely in line, as a re
sult of the concentration of leading
party speakers there the pwt ten days.
Another thing that is greatly heart
ening the Democrats is the dismal, and
to the Republicans, heartrending flop
of Johnson J. Hayes and his campaign
for the United Btates Senate. They
feel that in his one-sided presentation
of half-hearted arguments, more Dem
ocratic votes have been made than Re
publican ones, and that these will fig
ure largely in today’s results.

Charlotte. Nov. 2.—Activity of the
Fundamentalist Committee of 100
organized here last May to fight the
teaching of modernistic theories of
religion in state supported schools,

the committee, planned to hold a
meeting here prior to the election
but no such meeting has been re

here that no such meeting has been
held. Such work as the committee
has done in the present campaign has
been very quiet, if the committee lias
taken any action at all. So far ns

MORE NEGRO COLLEGE
STUDENTS ON STRIKE j
Sophomore and Junior Students at !
Smith University, Charlotte, Walk j
Nov. 1 .—The revolt bv j
students against the action of the !
faculty of the Johnston C. *Smith j
university, a negro school for men |
located here, in suspending iiwub- J
ordinate freshmen was renewed to
day when the sophomore and junior
classes went on strike.
The strike followed a demand that
76 freshmen suspended last Friday
be reinstated. Dr. H. L. MeCrory.
president of the school, attempted
this afternoon to get in touch with
the widely scattered members of the
board of trustees of the school.
The trouble between the faculty
and the students started a week ago
when six freshmen were suspended
for participating in a hazing prank
following a football game.
The freshman and sophomore class
es went on strike and the junior
asked that the action be reconsidered.
The faculty declined to reconsider
and ordered the students back v.o
’•lasses Friday morning.
Only about 20 members of the
freshman class shqwcd up but all of
the sophomores nnp juniors attended
classes Friday and Saturday.
A committee of 10 students today
presented a demand for reinstate
ment of the 76 members of the fresh
man class who had been suspended
when they failed to attend classes
Friday. Dr. MeProry who stated last
week that the trouble was “an ef
fort by the students to run th**
school’’ said he was too busy to is
sue a statement at this time, but
probably .would have one later in
the day.

I>ames of Society Seeking Long lost
Complexion.
London, Nov. 2.—There is a subtle
change in the makeup of the more ex
treme of tlie society women. The ~
make-up is becoming less obvious and
also less "Yampish." The change is *
something of a revolution from the .Jl
piled-on rouge and crimson lipstick
and there is missing the exotic per- ■ j
fume so noticeable during the recent %
season.
In Rond street beauty parlors it is
eonfidentally whispered again to have .J
real complexions and thnt to be a i
really smart society dame, one must ||
cultivate tlie cream and white com
plexion of the average soap advertise- |
ment.
Penciled eyebrows and eyelashes are J
! expected by the experts soon to die- 3S|
' appear and with them it is asserted
\ will be a hastening of the end of the b|j
' Eton crop.
