DEMOCRACY Early Friday Morning Edi tions of The Review Carri ed the Stdry-The Result Known Here Before Mid night Thursday The Af termath. . After 60 hours of tireless vigil around the newspaper office, tele graph key and telephone stations, the news was flashed to the world late Thursday night that' Woodrow Wilson had been re elected president of the United States for another four years. The announcement followed the statement of ' the Republican State chairman of California conced ing the state to Wilson, after it was seen that no possible report from the few precincts missing could change the big lead ef President Wilson of that state. Then the newspapers, big and lit tle, got busy with extras and regu lar editions that had been held up, waiting on the fateful news. The editor of The Review went to his office in the early hours of the morning, summoned help and by daylight had an extra over the city announcing the news- A rush was made for the mails and many of the rural routes were covered the same morning, reaching some of our subs- cribers on the routes by 8:30 o'clock, I m hers not later than 11:30. A few near by towns were also reached. It was an exciting time all along the line, and after it was all over body and foul felt a great relief, one being allowed to sleep peacefully Friday night for the first time since Monday. In fact out of three nights the writer got about that many hours sleep. It was a time which tried the endurance of the news paper fraternity especially The announcemet of the election was received with great joy by the democrats and they lediately gave vent to thur fceliLj which had most to the oreVking point "" At five o'clock Thursday after noon The Review received a mes sage from the New York-Herald say ing that with the carrying of Cali fornia Wilson would t).a elected and practically predicting his election The story was caried in ihe regular edition of The Review and gave the reader a pretty good idea that Wil son would be re-elected. The week before The Review had forecasted "Wilson's election, the closeness of the House and that High Point township would go republican" which proved to be correct in every particular. Vine result of tne ejection is a victory , for the people lrom a mocratic standpoint and the republi cans must admit that Wilson was eiected without conupt politics, the aid of Wall street, the invisible al liances, the hyphenate or any en tangling influences, that he got his vote in the main from the west and the south, leaving out all the great pivotal states except Ohio. In oth er words it seems that he got his strength from the common people. As the republican party has norm ally more than a million votes than the democratic party it is evident that many independents cast their lot with Wilson. Of course the vote of thewomen for the first time had something to do with it. Such rock-ribbed republican states as New Hampshire and California it was never t nought would go for Wilson but it was just such changes that made his re election possiole. The straw votes of the New Yorii Herald, the Rexall drug stotes and other agencies, showed a preponder ance in favor of the republicans in California but the result showed ditr . ferent. In this state the Democrats seem to have made a clean sweep of the Congressional ticket except, in, the Tenth where the rksult is An douht now. The legislature and -senate are overwhelmingly democratic. Bic kett for Governor received around 50.000 majority and the state-ticket ran close around these figures. The constitutional amendments were carried by a good - majority. In Guilford county the democrats made a clean sweep of every office. Randolph county, went republi-i can by majorities ranging irom oi j to 396 and the entire ticket in lee -; ed. J. D. Gregg js the uew senator and J. F. Pickett representative. Davidson county was placed in the republican column by 200 in round members. Jamtstown township went repul ican by 80 majority. j I1 7 3 AT in & appreciated by that - Forsyth county remained demo cratic. - This takes in all the four counties surrounding High Point. The full election returns from counties, states and nation will be found in another part of the paper.. The greatest vote ever polled in state and nation was recorded in the election and as a result of the tin usual activities of Bboth parties several changes in the political t itu- ation were made. It was the first time in the history of the country that a democrat president succeeded himself. About all the daily DaDers in the country announced Hughes tho wih ner Wednesday morning, even the staunch democratic organ, the News and Observer. In Greensboro and High Point the Public Service Co. flashed the lights about eleven o' clock that Hughes was elected. The signal was FIVil for Hughes and THREE for Wilson. Thursday night the same company had toper; form a similar service but this time THREE for Wilson. And they flashed the lights five times for Hughes, . But Democratic chairman McCormick said that wouldn't do; So the count of ballots in the west kept steadily on, And now Wilson and THREE and the battle is won.

The scene of action was at the South Main street. graded school building and the line of march was up Main to the vacant lot D Amed by the city where the festivities ended. Four hundred kerosene torches had been made, requiring a barrel of waste and 150 galions of oil and when they were lighted it looked ! like the night raiders were going to take the town sure enough. Up tpwa they came carrying these torches, and shouting a c every step. A large picture of Wilson adorned a banner and the people went wild. The coffin containing the remains of Hughes followed in the wake. Arriving at the North Main street lot there was a barrel of tar burn ing and this with the four hundred torches thrown in a heap caused the flames to leap nearly as high as the Washington monument. Then the Hughes caket was consigned to the flames. Everybody then got happy. Somencut the pigeon wing around the bon fire, others a ' war dance that would make the aborigine sit up and take notice. f The Wilson banner was carried round and round and the crowd cheered, the band played but the noise of the i;iUHU WU& KCIIC1 I crowd was greater than any band Carter Dalton locked arms with W P.
