Raleigh, N.C., Nov. 4—The democratic state ticket apparently was elected by a majority as large as that of 1920 and all of the democrats for congress apparently were elected on the face of meager returns received at tabulation headquarters tonight.
The port terminal development issue still hung in the balance at midnight with the proponents of the measure having a majority of 3,833 in favor at midnight on the basis of returns from 330 out of the state’s 1,730 precincts.
The few returns received up to midnight on the veterans’ loan bond showed that measure running four to one ahead and all four of the constitutional amendments were showing heavy majorities in favor of their passage.
The returns on these measures, however, were very meager. John W. Davis, democratic candidate for President, was far ahead of Calvin Coolidge and Robert M. LaFollette, in the 260 precincts heard from.
These gave Davis 52,006; Coolidge 16,474; LaFollette 2,00. (obviously last number is incorrect in the paper). Virtually all of these precincts came from normally democratic counties and the majority shown were maintained throughout the democratic standard would have a majority of around 95,000. These figures however, probably will be cut down as returns come in from republican counties in the western sections of the state.
The 330 precincts reported for the port measure showed a vote of 43,146 for it and 39,313 against.
F.M. Simmons had a tree to one lead over A.A. Whitener for U.S. Senator on the basis of returns from 112 precincts. The vote was Simmons 24,611; Whitener, 8,240.
For governor returns from 247 precincts showed: McLean 45,370; Meekins, 13,847.
