$50 and the Figures Show Some

With their work of tabulation en-
tirely completed it will yet be late in
the day Monday before the State
Board of Elections completes the ad-
ditions and issue certificates of cleo
ton to the successful candidates
The Democratic majority for the
State ticket, calculated on the basis
of the vote for Governor is 49,256.
The State ticket is led by Hon. S. l..
Patterson, the Democratic nominee
for Commissioner of Agriculture,
vote being 129,O40. Treasurer B. r.
Lacy's is 129,024, majority 1859.
Very little scratching was done on
the State ticket.
The State will have nine Demo-
cratic Congressman and one Republic
can. E. Spencer Blackburn (Repub-
lican) wins in the Eighth District
over w. G. Newland (Democrat) by a
majority of 245. He received 1855
votes to Newlands 1921. Gudger's
majority in the Tenth District is 8SS.
The majority for Judge Rarker is
41,679, his vote being 124.121, to
Roosevelt's 82,442.
Some Nuts to Crack.
In the State Glenn's majority is
49,250, while Parker's majority is
only 41.679.
Why is Glenn's majority so much
larger than Parker's? Glenn received
12S,761 while Parker's vote only
124,121, Cherokee estimated,
this being 1862 more than Glenn's
vote. Harris, Republican candidate
for Governor, received 1886, while
Roosevelt received S2,442 this being
2,937 more than Harris vote.
1t is evident from these figures that
2.937 men who voted for Glenn also
voted for Roosevelt, and that 1916
men who voted for Glenn voted either
for Watson for President or did not
vote for any candidate for that Office
at all.
In the eighth district Roosevelt re-
ceived 1857 votes and Parker 14,SO7
votes. Glenn received 1925 votes
and Harris 1851 votes. Newland
received 1921 votes and Blackburn
received 1856 votes. This shows
that Newland received 514 more votes
than Parker and 35 more votes than
Glenn.
1t is said to be fact also that
as a rule Newland ran better than
the local tickets in the counties of
the district. His friends say that the
fact that Roosevelt had a majority
Blackburns majority was only 245,
shows that Newland was strong
candidate.
A careful study of the vote will re-
veal some interesting matter as to the
increase or fall off in the vote OF
various counties. AS result OF the
large Democratic vote cast in Wake,
which leads all the rest, the county
will have "a votes in the next Demo-
cratic State convention.
