THE STATE
|SDEMOCRA7|C
By $4,000 Majority-All Ten
Congressman Elected and
Legislature Increased
AMENDMENTS CARRIED Nj

North Carolina S answer TO fTeSl
dent Wilson's appeal for pro-ad-
Congress was given at
the polls in hundred counties
Tuesday and by reason Of it, ten
Democratic members Of the House
and one Democratic Senator are as
sured of seats in the next Congress
The response of the people of the
State, in terms Of a majority of full
ly $1,000 votes, was a singing re
buke to the National and State lead
ers of the Republican party and no
less a tribute to the common sense
and patriotism Of the masses OF the
people.
BY virtue of the sweeping Demo
cratic victory, the entire State ticket
of two Corporation Commissioners,
a Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court and two Associate Justices OF
the Supreme Court, and ten judges
of the Superior Court were electec,
together with 16 Democratic Solic-
ltors out of 20 to be chosen, with
reresults in three districts uncertain
but tending toward the Democrat.
In addition, the party maintains II
it does not better its position in the
General Assembly of North Carolina.
In The view of incomplete returns,
the Democrats will ppossibly have
!101 members out of 120 in the
House and "a members out of SO in
the Senate.
Taking into consideration the alb
sent soldier vote, the recent migra-
ltion of man power to other States,
and the influenza situation still clit-
ical in many portions of North Car
olina, the Democratic majority was
ifar the handsomest since 1900. Full
- Ou,UUU NoLtl ~ ~
estimated, are in the military ser
vice. In spite of full notice Of the
privilege of absentee voting only a
small percentage of these avaLled
themselves of the opportunity OF
casting a vote. But while many OF
these were fighting, the people back
home were voting and both were
giving fullest support to the nation
commander in chief.
All Congrcssmcn Elected
Notwithstanding the bitlor tigAt
waged against Congressman ZebuIon
Weaver and the determination OF
partisan Republicans in the Tenth
Congressional district to elect form
er Congressman ]. j. Britt, Mr.
| Weaver was reelected, it is safely
estimated, by majority OF l.00C
|and the North Carolina delegation
,'of ten in Congress remains solidly
democratic.
The only change in the delegation
is the election of Mr. S. NJ. Brinson
in the Third District, who will sue
lceed Congressman George Hood
who was not candidate to succeed
himself.
The following are the estimated
! majorities the Democratic candi-
dates received:
John H. Small. First District,
5000.
Claude Kitchin, Second District,

 A consoling thing to our auto own CTS was what was published in last weeks Patriot in regard to Judge Geissler not being in sympathy with the rule. in regard to fines. We have heard complaints several times by some of our citizens, something like this: 'tW go to Putnam and spend our money. and through some trifine oversight or non conformity to the auto rules, no matter how slight oi excusable, it costs up ten dollars and costs" It is the general opinion among owners of vehicles in town that Judge Geissle is right as court and should be given more discretion ary power as regards to fines.
