Election Returns.

We give DclOW SUCH elcCllOu a
have come to hand since our last issue:
Lenoir Right with the Bright Side up
The vote for Governor at two precincts il
Lenoir, is as follows: Dockery 105, Worth
1913. The vote for Senator at all the pre-
cincts but one, is Coward 81, Speight co.
Commons, Bright 81, Sutton 2O3. A friend
writes us as follows:
I'VE have met the enemy, and they are
ours" So far as the Senate and Commons
are heard from John H. Coward, Unionist
leads James P. Speight, Destructive and r.
F. Bright, Unionist. leads Williams Sutton
! Destructive, by large ma orities. This is a
very unexpected and gratifying gain. Mr.
Bright is one of our best citizens, and will
make an excellent representative Of our
old friend John H. Coward, our late faith
full and efficient Senator, all l need say is
that he has received the endorsement OF
| "well done, good and faithful servant" His
reelection to the Senate is righteous jjudg-
ment by an intelligent, grateful, and right
| thinking people. If our whole State would
present as sound men for Congress and the
| Legislature, the doors would soon fly open,
and the State would take her place in the
councils of the Union.
As Gen. Dockery declined to be candi-
late, his vote was small. If he had been a
are that he would have been elected. The
old Destructives-with what are quite as
! bad, their new allIes the latter-day war men
voted for Worth-of course they did
with vim. 1t is probable Worth is elected,
as he had no opponent. Whether he will be
the Governor one year from today is another
question, and one which your correspondent
is not able to answer"
