Figures secured by The Star from over the district at noon today assure that Mr. Bul winkle’s majority over Oh as A. Jonas, his Republican rival, will be around 20,00. Cleveland, Mecklenburg and Oas ton counties gave the Democratic candidate a big majority, enough to offset by far any Republican lead Jonas may secure In mountain counties unreported. The Bulwinkle lead in Cleveland was better than 5,600. In Gaston it was over 5,000.

(By UNITED PRESS) Raleigh, Not. 9.—North Carolina, which went Into the Republican column four yean ago for the first time, skyrocketed back into the Democratic fold of the Solid Sonth Tuesday with an overwhelming vote. With far more than 500,000 Tar Heels flocking to the ballot box to participate in the Democratic land slide, the Democratic majority roll ed up to an unexpected magnitude. Whatta Vote! Here's an idea of what a major ity it was. With 1,337 of the state’s 1.830 precincts heard from today the vote for president was: Roosevelt...... 392,490 Hoover.. 127,931 Thomas .3,276 Roosevelt majority .... 261483 “Our Bob" All Over With 1,186 of the 1,830 precincts reported the vote for senator was: Reynolds.... 338492 Newell . . 124,774 Reynolds majority_213418 Governor Ehringhaus With 1,226 of the 1,830 precincts reported the vote for governor was: Ehringhaus . 353,157 Frazier . 120,629 From Cherokee to Currituck, North Carolina voters cast such a tremendous vote that all past ma jority records were eclipsed. Nor mally strong Republican sections saw several Democratic candidates polling enough votes to win. By midnight last night Governor Gard ner, hearing the returns in Raleigh, said “the majority will go over 200,000 for the record of all time.” As North Carolina rolled back into 'the Democratic column the state was accompanied by Virginia, Texas and Florida which broke <he ranks with Tarheelia back in 1928. Canvass Returns On Election Thursday County election returns will be canvassed here at the court house on Thursday by John P.

Election officials will bring their returns here to morrow and the official count will be determined thereafter. Loses Only 6 States In Total Of 48 Hoover Gets Just 59 Electoral Votes To Roosevelt’s 472. (By UNITED PRESS) Riding high on top of one of the greatest ballot land slides in American history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, governor of New York, was yesterday elected to the pres idency of the United States by a record-shattering major ity of both popular and elec toral votes. In winning the election by an un precedented majority Franklin Roosevelt becomes the first Demo cratic president since Woodrow Wilson, who left office shattered and broken 12 years ago by the strain of leading his nation through the World war. Almost Everythin* Roosevelt, as is said along the street, almost carried the whole works. He defeated Herbert Hoover, present Republican president, even worse than Mr. Hoover defeated A1 Smith four years ago. A final unofficial tabulation to day shows that Roosevelt carried 42 of the 48 states and Hoover re ceived the vote of only six. In 1928 only eight states went Democratic. That year Hoover polled 444 elec toral votes to Smith’s 87, but yes terday Roosevelt rolled up the rec ord total of 472 to Hoover’s 59. The six states that Hoover car ried were Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Geenrsl Sweep Over the entire nation the Dem ocratic ticket swept in the major ity of Its candidates. Members of the Republican old guard, senators and congressmen, went down with their leader, President Hoover. The next congress and senate will be under the complete control of Dem ocrats. A majority of the new sen ators and congressmen elected over Republicans advocated a change in prohibition, early diagnosis of the election being that one phase of yesterday s monster vote was to ex press disapproval of the present prohibition law. ( J Among the old guard Republican leaders going down in defeat before , Democrats were Senator Moses of New Hampshire, Senator Jim Wat son of Indiana, and Senator Reed Smooth of Utah. Others less prom inent were also defeated in the crushing Democratic triumph, one of the most one-sided and complete election upheavals of all time Tammany Won New York, Roosevelt’s home state, always a problem for a Democratic presidential candidate to carry, gave Roosevelt a great majority of more than 700,000. In New ’York city Tammany Democrats scored their usual triumph, but 57,000 vot ers expressed their approval of the Roosevelt move in the Jimmy Wal ker case by writing in on the tick et the name of Acting Mayor Mc Kee who took that office when Jimmy Walker resigned under fire while being Investigated by Roose velt as governor. Nevertheless Sur rogate Judge John OBrien, Dem ocrat, was elected. Wet Louisiana The first real wet move came is Louisiana. There the voters abol ished the state prohibition law and wrote their favor for repeal of the eighteenth amendment Mrs. D. A. Moore Buried Tuesday Mrs. Bonnie Mae Moore, age 25 years .died Monday night at 8:30 o’clock at her home on S. DeKalb street following an illness extending over a period of 18 months.
