O’Neal on Both Tickets Received Over 2000 Votes. The Democrats of Clay county were swept into office Tuesday by one of the largest and most conclusive majorities recorded in local politices in several years, according to unof ficial returns from all precincts over the county. Only one race was anything like close, that of Register of Deeds, be tween B. A. McGlamery, Democrat, and Glover P. Ledford, Republican incumbent. Unofficial returns give McGlamery a majority of 1. Clay county is normally Republi can. This year witnessed one of the hottest election in the county in years with the Democrats carrying every office by majorities of 1 to 194. The citizens of Clay County awoke Tuesday morning, election day, to find the skies over cast with threat ening clouds and a high cold wind blowing. The mountain ranges in the distance were blanketed with mantels of snow. With some sections reporting heavy falls of snow. What is considered the heaviest vote ever cast in the county was in this election there being TWnr 2400 votes cast to a little over 2000 two years ago At the time of going to press on Thursday we had not received the of ficial vote for the county as the Can vassing Board was not through with its work. If there are any changes in the figures here given it will be published next week. The general State Ticket for Trees urer: Corporation Commissioners and Superior Court Judges had not ben completed for the county when we go to press, neither had the vote on Constitutional Amendments been completed.
