VOTE FCDL STRENGTH.
DEMOCRATS. RETAIN SENATE;
THE HOUSE 18 IN DOUBT.
New York, Nov. 8.—With thirty
congressional districts to be heard
from at 10.45 P. M., 202 Republi-cans,
199 Democrats, two Progres-sives,
one Independent and one So-cialist
have been elected to the house
of representatives for the sixty-fifth
Congress. Of the thirty districts yet
to be heard from, 17 are represent-ed
in the present Congress by Demo-crats
and 13 by Republicans. Should
these districts be unchanged, Uie
next house would be composed of
216 Democrats, 215 Republicans and
four scattering who might elect to
affiliate with either side.
The senate will remain under Dem-ocratic
control by a reduced major-ity
of 10 or 12, dependent on the out-come,
in New Mexico, where A.-A.
Jones, Democrat, is maintaining a
slight lead over Frank A. Hubbell,
nominated by the Republicans to suc-ceed
Senator Catron.
At this hour the senate stands:
Democrats 53; Republicans 42; un-decided
1.
In the senate four present Demo-cratic
members, according to the lat-est
indications, have been defeated.
They are Senators Kern and Taggart,
of Indiana; Martine, of New Jersey,
and Chilton, ef Wast Virginia. Three
Republiean senators—Llppitt, of
Rhode Island; Clark, of Wyoming,
and Southerland, of Utah- ralso have
lost their seats on the basis of the re-turns.
-

NO WARNING TO ARABIA
IS ADMIRALTY REPORT.
London, Nov. 8.—The Peninsular
and Oriential liner Arabia received
no warning from the submarine
which sank her in the Mediterranean
on Monday, according to a statement
issued this morning by the admir-alty.
All the 437 passengers, in-f
eluding 169 women and children,
and all the crew with the. exception
of two engineers who were killed by
the explosion, were saved by vessels
which went to the rescue.
- "The homeward bound Peninsular
and Oriental mall steamer Arabia
was torpedoed without warning and
snnk in the Mediterranean at about
noon on November 6," says the ad-miralty
statement. "The vessel had
437 passengers, including 169 wo-men
and children.
"All the passengers were saved by
various vessels which were diverted
to the scene of the disaster. Two en-gineers
are missing and are believed
to have been Mlled by the explosion.
The remainder of the crew were
saved."
The heaviest vote in Tuesday's
election in Guilford county was cast
for president, approximately 8,235
votes being cast out of a total regis-tration
of 8,700. Wilson received
4,608 and Hughes 3,627, the Wilson
majority being 981. The vote for
state offices was slightly In excess of
8,000 and that for county offices a
little below 8,000.
The Republicans came nearer poll-ing
their full Strength than did the
Democrats. Practically the entire
registered vote of the Republican
party was polled.
At the hour this is written (11
q'clock Thursday morning) the offi-cial
returns from all the precincts
have not been received, and there-fore
it is impossible to give fn this
issue of The Patriot a detailed report
of the vote by precincts. While ap-proximately
correct, the figures- given
in this article are based on incom-plete
and unofficial reports and will
be slightly changed by the official
tabulation.

STATE lUSJiMOO MAJORITY
WEEPING GAINS ARE MADE BY
DEMOCRATS THROUGHOUT
NORTH CAROLINA.
The Democrats made sweeping
gains in North Carolina in the elec-tion
Tuesday..-carrying the state by
the record-breaking majority of 50,-
000. The majority is greater than
had been hoped for by any save the county, etc
The election interfered with the
November meeting of the board of
county commissioners, causing the
session^ usually held on Tuesday to
'be postponed until yesterday. A
good deal of business was transact-ed,
but practically all of it was of a
routine nature, such as receiving re-ports,
passing on bills against the
most optimistic party workers.

party goes In with Governor

Health Officer's Report.
Dr. W. M. Jones, the county health
officer, submitted his monthly report
as follows:
"County home: Everything has
been moving along nicely at the home
since last report. There has been
only one death at the home during
the month, that of an old negro wo-man.
Only four visits have been
made to the home. One drug habitue
has been admitted.
"Workhouse; Here there is noth-ing
new of which to make report.
There has been no sickness to
amount to anything at the institu-tion
during the month. Only three
visits have been made.
"Jail: Here there has been no
sickness and fewer visits have been
made during the month than at any
time within the last two years. Only
two calls have been made. One ne-gro
who had a sentence 00 the roads,
but was physically unfit to work, had
a minor operation and is now able to
make his time.
"Camps: Like the other institu-tions
there has been very little work
here. Farrlngton is yet at the hos-pital
and Jim George is sick and In

"Scarlet fever and diphtheria show
a marked increase. Both are un-evenly
distributed over the county.
The bulk of the scarlet fever cases
may be attributed to missed oases,
thus producing a slight epidemic in
one locality. This, however. Is now
apparently under control as there
have been no new cases in a couple
of weeks.
"Scarlet fever Is now and has been
during the fall epidemic over the
state, and, being in a mild form, it
■is impossible to control it, for so
many cases occur that have no phy-elerated

of other bodies was delayed, as. it
was believed, they were pinned In the
car which rested on the bottom of
the 86-foot channel.
Gerald Walsh, motorman, who
jumped before It went over the edge

was due to the fact that there
was no light on the bridge gates. He

tuberculosis convicts.
"During the latter part of the
'month I had for a couple of days

that we may get these men here next

WILL SEND CHRISTMAS SHIP
AMERICAN RELIEF COMMITTEE
AIDS ARMENIAN , AND
SYRIAN SUFFERERS.
New York, Nov. 8.—America's
"Christmas ship" to foreign lands,
which this year will be the navy col-lier
Caesar or a collier of the same
type, is being relined by the govern-ment
for carrying food supplies to
destitute Syrians and Armenians. It
will leave New York December 1,
carrying a capacity cargo of food-stuffs
and new clothing for Beriut,
Syria, from which port relief will be
distributed by American Red Cross
and Red Crescent agents, aided by
United States consuls and mission-aries.
The'American committee for
Armenians and Syrian relief has just
sent $208,000 through the state de-partment
to various distribution cen-ters
to be distributed Immediately
by the committee's agents direct to
the most needy survivors of the Ar-menian
deportations and the Syrian
famine months. This money will
purchase grain, blankets and cloth-ing,
giving the sufferers within the
Turkish empire a foretaste of the
Christmas cheer which the United
States navy boats will bring.
As a necessary precaution to the
sending of the Christmas ship ar-rangements
are being made for col-lections
In the churches of the entire
country Thanksgiving day, the re-ceipts
of which will be used in com-pleting
the cargo. The ship will car-ry
•S/00.000 pounds of rice, 200,000
pounds of lima beans, 400,000
pounds of crushed wheat, 2,100.000
pounds of whole wheat, 600,000
pounds of sugar, 1,000 cases of con-densed
milk for children, 10,000 bar-rels
of flour, 60.000 gallons of petro-leum
and 25,000 gallons of cotton
seed oil. Military regulations forbid
the carrying of any except new cloth-ing.
Hundreds of cases of warm un-derwsar
and sweaters and light shoes
for men. women and children, stock-ings
for women snd children, cotton
and woolen socks tor men. blankets
*nd blankst shawls, gray cotton and
.fWfea^aaJfclfc^jnlpsi jublaach-ed
mnsrhtamTlo^tefrtlrread, needles
and pins will form a" part" of the car-go.
Contributors to the cargo and
churches which are raising money
are sending their gifts to W. A.
StauD, the Red Cross representative
in charge of the Christmas ship at
the Bush terminal, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Navy officials and prominent church-men
of all denominations will Join
the ceremonies to be held .at the
Christmas ship's departure, adding to
its cargo the holiday good wishes of
one country to the stricken races of
another.
Money collected on the two days
recently^ proclaimed by President
Wilson aa Armenian and Syrian re-lief
days having been cabled already
for immediate relief, more than
$250,000 additional must be gather-ed
to freight the Christmas ship.
The funds already collected in which
the proclamation days were used
merely as the beginning of local cam-paigns
which Will last until Thanks-giving.
There is little doubt, how-ever,
that even after the response of
the country to the president and the
committee has been registered fully,
many of the most elemental needs
of the deportation victims, to relieve
which in Armenia alone former Am-bassador
to Turkey Henry Morgen-thau
estimates $6,000,000 is neces-sary,
will still be uncared for per-manently,
and that America's assis-tance
to the sufferers of the Orient
must continue.
