THE election Tuesday was in

THE election Tuesday was in
every sense of the word a Demo
cratic landslide, In fact, it al
most seemed as though the Re-
pubIicans in North Carolina had
either quit voting, or seeing the
error of their ways had dropped
into the Democratic ranks. Even
the most enthusiastic Democrat
had not predicted such a sweep
ing victory.
Some idea of it is understood
better when il is realized that
such rock-rlDDcu Republican
counties as Catawba, Cabarrus
and Caldwell went Democratic
by majorities of from two to five
hundred, upsetting Republican
majorities of two years ago of
upwards of seven hundred.
Davidson and Randolph
counties even returned to the
fold, and elected full Democratic
tickets. And so the story goes.
County after county rolled up
handsome Democratic majorities,
despite the rain that fell almost
all day. Had the weather been
fair there is no predicting how
much larger our majority would
have been.
Nationally, the Democracy
swept New York State and New
Jersey and elected Congressman
in many other Republican strong.

In the State the Republican
representation in the Senate We
reduced from IL two years age
to only 4 Senators now; and ir
the House from 20 two years
ago to just IL now!
The Democratic majority ir
the State will be about $4,000
This would seem to indicate that
the people approve the State ad
ministration headed by Gov
Morrison, together with the roae
and internal Improvement pro
