County and State Ticket, 4.2o5-|
Faison's Majority, By Democratic
count. Only s.as7-BatIer Ran
Ahead Of His Party Vote LBS,
and FaIson Ran That Much Behand
his Ticket.
The Democratic papers In the State
have given the vote In every Con-
gregsionai District In the State ex-
cent the Third District. They didn't
NE the looks of the figures from
the Third District and, therefore,
didn't give the Official vote. Faison
gave out in last weeks papers that
his majority was thirty-dve hundred,
but we have gotten the Official vote
by the Democratic count from each OF
the nine counties in the Third Dis
this week.
The Democratic majority on the
Congressional ticket in this District
two years ago was 3,648; the Demo-
cratic majority this year on the coun-
ty and State ticket is 4.205. But the
Democratic majority this year on the
Butler and Faison Congressional
ticket is only 2.947, showing that
Butler ran ahead and Faison ran be-
hind their party's vote 1858 votes.
With normal candidates and with
a normal fight, 1t is probable that
the Democratic majority in this Dis
trict, being an OF year, would have
been greater than it was two years
ago as was the case in the rest of the
State, but we did not have normal
candidates, nor was it a normal fight
made in this District. 1t is safe to
say that Maj. Butler waged the most
thorough and aggressive fight ever
waged in this District. He canvass
ed every county in the District thor
oughIy distributed an enormous
amount of literature. The result of
this fight is shown by the votes cast
for the respective candidates. 1t is
perhaps the only District in the State
that shows a reduced Democratic
majority. Much credit is also due
Chairman c. NJ. Faircloth, who man
aged the campaign in this district.
