BIG VOTE
;. " NORTH CAROLINA
Tn Heels Stand True to
IL g At Nebraskan.
DID THEIR BEST FOR HIM
The Vote Not as Large as in the
August Election.
SEVEN DEMOCRATIC CoNG8ESSMEN
It Looks Like Crawford is Defeated in the
Ninth. The Eighth is Close and Doubtful
With Charces Favorirg the
Republicans.

The State of North Carolina has re-
mained true to Bryan and Democracy.
1t is too early to predict the major
ity, but it will be very large. 1T will
not be short Of 10000.
The Democrats have carried every
Congressional district in the State eX-
cept the Eighth and Ninth. The re-
turns from these two districts are
very meague, but it looks like Craw-
ford has been defeated in the Ninth
district, and the news from the Eighth
shows that the vote is close.
The contest in the Eighth district is
close and the result is in doubt. The
Democrats have made some gains and
some losses. The result will not be
known until the news is received from
the mountain counties, but 1t seems
almost certain that Blackburn has been
elected. In CASTOR county the majority
is about $50, whereas Aycock had $50
majority in that county in August. In
Alexander, Adams had 1S5 majority in
August, and Blackburn has about the
same majority or a little more. Cieve-
land gives Buxton about 1,100 majority,
whereas 1t gave Aycock /, ,4S0 majority in
August. No news has been received from
Allegheny. 1t will be about the same as
in August. Ashe gave Adams $40 in
August and will give Blackburn about the
same. Caldwell gives Blackburn about
100, whereas it gave Adams only "a ma
iority. The Republicans claim Watauga
by 800 1t gave the Republicans $50
majority. Pennsylvania shows slight
Democratic gain.
The news from the Ninth district is
too meagre to give any figures, but the
earliest news indicates that Mr.. Craw-
ford has been defeated by Mr.. Moody
Asheville, which gave Aycock large
majority, has given Moody a majority of
80, which shows a heavy loss in Bun
combe The Rutherford majority Of $50
is gain of so over the August election.
There is no news from Cherokee, Clay,
Graham, Henderson, Jackson, Macon,
Swain or Yancey. II may be that these
will make slight gains for Crawford, but
the slump in Buncombe and in Mcdowell
seems to insure Moody's election. The
Democrats had 14O majority in August
majority Haywood makes some gains
but not what was expected. In Madison
the Republican stronghold, there is not
much change. In Polk there is a slight
gain for Moody. The Surry news indi-
Gates no Democratic gains. Nothing can
be hoped for in Mitchell Decided gains
are reported in several townships in
Wilkes. Burke shows slight falling off
from August vote This leaves Forsyth,
and no doenite news of the result there
had been received up to the hour Of go
ing to press.
The above is based upon unofficial re-
turns, and the official returns may make
a better showing for Mr.. Buxton.
