Not Under ZIG, 900 for State
Continued from Page One.)

ty chairlicn IN the 100 counties, are
confident that the Democratic vote
will amount to approximately 523,8O1
and that the Pepublicn vote will not
exceed 247,232, while a good many
oou2t if it will be that large. But.
conceding that the Republicans may
cast rs many as 247,232 votes, Chair
man Winhorne is still confident of a
Democratic majority of more than
276,OOO. In the 1892 general election,
Roosevelt received 497,566 votes and
Hoover 208,344 while Governor En-
ringhaus received 497,657, as compar-
ed with 212,561 votes cast for Cliff
ford G. Frazier, the Republican can
dioate
As 3 result of the heavy increase
in registrations this year, the intense
interest in the campaign, both State
and national, and the more intensive
organization work done by the Dem
ocratic campaign managers this year,
Chairman Winborne is confident that
both President Roosevelt and Mr..
Hoey will poll not less than $4,000
votes.
1T is not a question of whether the
Democratic tickets will win, but only
of how large the majority will be-"
Chairman Winborne said. IF the
Democrats will go to the polls and
vote, as we are confident they will
even in the solidity Democratic coun-
ties in the east where the general
election vote is usually smaller than
the primary vote. there is no doubt
but that our majority will go beyond
276,oO0, possibly as high as 100000
Some Democrats are inclined to
think that since there will re a large
|. majority anyway, it does not matter
whether they vote or not. But it does
| matter, since the size of the vote has
very definite effect upon the hopes
and the morale of the Republicans,
both within the State and nationally
For if the Democratic majority
should slump, even little, the Re
publican leaders would at once find
encouragement in this fact and re-
! double their efforts to break down
the Democratic vote still more in the
next election. We know, for instance,
| that ever since 1928, when Herbert
| Hoover carried the State, the national
Republican leaders have redoubled
| their efforts and increased their con-
tributions in an effort to carry North
Carolina again.
$50 there Is plenty of reason for our
wanting to make the Democratic ma
| jority larger in this election than ever
before, in order to prove to the Re
publican leaders both here in the
State and to the Republican National
| Committee that it Is waste of their
time and money to try to carry North
Carolina. We want to swat the Repub-
! licans so hard in this election that
they will stay swatted. We also want
to show the entire nation that North
Carolina has implicit confidence il
President Roosevelt, that it approves
of the New Deal and wants to see il
continued for four more years"
The women of North Carolina are
going to contribute materially to the
size of the Democratic majority to
morrow, according to Mrs. J. B. Spill
man, vice chairman of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, who has
organized the women of the State in
this campaign. Four years ago, 4;
per cent Of the vote cast for Roose
welt and Governor Ehrihghaus were
cast by Democratic women. In the
election tomorrow, from SO to So pei
cent of the Democratic votes are go
ing to be cast by women, Mrs. Spill
man predicts. The women of the State
realize even better than the men what
Roosevelt and the New Deal have
meant to North Carolina and they are
going to vote to prolong it for an
other four years, Mrs. Spilman is con.
