North Carolina Vote Running Ahead
OfForecasts; Amendments Approved

RALEIGH, Nov: 8-lR-President
Roosevelt and the entire state dem
ocratic ticket chung to their lop-
sided majorities over Governor
Thomas E. Dewey and his repub-
iean colleagues as late returns
were complied today from the gen
eral election in North Carolina yes
terday.
Reports from 1,434 of the states
1922 precincts gave 433, 681 votes
10 the Roosevelt Truman ticket, and
considerably less than half that
number, 1ss,6s7 to Dewey and
Bricker. .
The results of the voting were so
evident that election officials ap-
parently made little effort to make
a full count of the ballots cast, but
il appeared that the total vote was
well above prediction estimates of
around 100000.
Still another result Of the one
sided vote, which left nothing in
doubt, was a seeming lack of inter-
est in total vote cast for senator,
governor, congressman. and a long
list of state officials. Partial re-
turns indicated that all democratic
candidates we're elected by as
great, if not greater, margin than
Roosevelt ran up over Dewey.
In the senate race, former Gov
ernor Clyde R. Hoey polled 293, 933
votes against 111l466 for A. I. Fer
rec, republican, with only 1,008 pre-
cincts tabulated. For Governor,
Gregg Cherry, received 2O3,356
votes in 1902 precincts as compar-
Ell with 115, 3O8 for his COP op-
ponent, Frank C. Patton.
All democratic nominees for Con-
gress were reelected by normal or
larger majorities on the face of
the available returns. Also the
adoption of all five proposed con-
stitutional amendments was indi-

BY The Associated Press

Momentum of a massive
vote boosted the Democratic
strength in Congress today
(Thursday} and gave the
White House added power to
combat tricky problems of
war and peace.
And, as the popular vote
from Tuesdays election roll
ed toward the 100000
mark President Roosevelt de-
clared the balloting had
shown the world that "democ-
racy is a living, vital force
Thomas E. Dewey, obviously re-
lieved that the political scrap was
over for 1914, attributed his defeat
entirely to the war. But he had
held the president to the narrow
est margin of popular votes since
the Wilson-Hughes race of 1916
Late last night the 44,065, 730 bal.
lots tabulated were divided this
way.
Roosevelt, 23,437,275.
Dewey, 20,628, 720.
The difference, 2,3O8, 554, COM
pared with 591, 1885 in the 1916 cleo
ton.
And, if it was any solace to him,
Dewey amassed bigger vote in
the solid south than did Wendell
L. Willkie four years ago. The
southern states went democratic,
of course.
Republican leaders in Louisiana
were so set up about the showing
there that they even began discuss
ing the chances of establishing
two-party political system in the
state.
| The Republican presidential NOM
inee, heading back to Albany from
New York City, found one thing
to be happy about in defeat. He
told a news conference 1t was the
'high confidence the people ex-
pressed in the state government"
And he was pleased, too, about
the manner in which his foreign
policy views had obtained support
within his own party.
But the Roosevelt administra-
ton saw the democrats retain their
majority in a Senate which will

third straight game of the series
from the Douglas Huskies to clinch
the series, ending on the long end
of a 80 10 u score.
The Bears went into the lead
from the beginning and were never
threatened during the entire game,
although the visitors played hard
and the game was sometimes rough.
Mead came through again in the
center spot, scoring IA points for
his team, and Higgins looked good
in his position as guard, as usual
deliberate and accurate, chalking
up seven counts.
Bach. center for the Huskies, was
the mainstay of the Douglas team,
scoring eight points with three field
goals and two free throws.
The game stood at 20 to S at the
end OF the nall.
The Bears, by virtue Of their col

The preliminary game was a
struggle for supremacy between the
seventh grades of the Juneau and
Douglas elementary schools, and
elementary is the only word for the
skirmish that took place. However,
the Douglas boys appeared to have
more advanced conception of the
object OF the game, which took
place almost entirely at Juneau's
end Of the floor.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was eight to nothing in
favor Of Douglas; at the half it
stood at 20 to nothing; at the third
