The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-11-06
The General Assembly of
1903.


worst defeated man who ever ran for any
office in North Carolina. 1T is even so,
as the big majority in the State and the
big Democratic majority for the Legis-
lature shows.
In the last State Senate there were
Republican members of the Senate; Pop
ulists; 80 Democrats. In the 1903 Senate
there will be no Populists. The Republicans
have elected S. E. Marshal, of Surry,
from the 18th district; A. O. Holton, of
Yadkin, from the 10Th district; one Re-
publican each from the S5th, seth and Goth
districts-a total of five.
Interest centered yesterday in the re-
suit in the Thirty-fourth Senatorial dis
trict The contest has been regarded as
very doubtful there, owing to a split in
the Democratic party in Mcdowell coun-
ty. All the afternoon it looked like the
Democrats were defeated. but better
news came later. The following telegram
was received from Hon. E. ]. Justice last
night:
Marion. N. c., Nov. 5.-My majority
in district will be about three hundred.
Judge Avery will be elected if Alexander
has gone Democratic. Avery and Jus
tice even in Mcdowell.
E. ]. JUSTICE.
A later telegram from Burke indicated
the election of Avery and Justice by
small majority.
There seems little doubt that Mr..
Cathey, Democrat, has been elected In
the district composed of Haywood,
Pennsylvania, Jackson and Swain, though
until the returns come in from Swain,
it cannot be certain. Cathey, it seems,
carried every county except Swain,
though by small maiorities
1t looks. like Mr.. Theo. Mundy, DEM
ocratic candidate, is defeated by Joel
Crisp, Republican, for the Senate, in the
district composed of Clay, Macon, Ora
ham and Cherokee, though this is not
certain. Mundy got 80 majority in Clay
and 65 in Macon. Graham is close and
Cherokee, Republican by about 100. 1t
is very close race.
In the House the Republicans have
elected the following members from the
following counties: Alexander, Ashe,
Cherokee, Clay, Davie, Graham, Hender-
son, Macon, Madison. Mitchell, Sampson
(2), Stokes, Surry, Swain, Tyrrell, Tran
sylvania, Watauga, Wilkes (2), Yadkin-
q members.
In PerQuimans an Independent Demo-
crat, who is opposed to Pritchard. was
elected Yancey is in doubt.
