The main differ ence in this county was the fact that several times as many people exercised . their right to vote as did in the last off-year election four years ago. 'Returns on only nine of the 10 precincts had been reported to Chairman W. L. Poole of the county board of elections late yesterday. In these C. B. Deane, the Democratic candidate for Congress led his Republican op ponent by 719 votes, unofficial ly, the count being 747 for Deane to 28 for Whicker. The count was approximately the same for the other offices for which there were Republi can nominees. On the two pro posed amendments to the state constitution the county voted a gainst the first one for equal rights for women, service on juries, etc., by a slight margin. By an even slighter margin the nine precincts reported favored the amendment to allow state legislators $10 a day for expen ses. The margin was seven votes. The Democratic party did not hold its own in other counties of the district as it did here, how ever. In Davidson county the Re publicans took over several of the major county offices which had been filled by Democrats for many years. The district was apparently favoring Deane for Congress ac cording to latest available unof ficial returns yesterday. The count from 179 of the district's 246 precincts was about 21,000 for Deane as compared to a- bout 15,000 for Whicker.
