Democratic Candidates Defeated In Presidential Race
' '
.
Carson county with 1,471 votes
vast for Gen. D. D. Eisenhower
for president and 1,071 for Gov.
Adlai E, Stevenson, his opponent,1
. oted along with the state of
Texas and the nation in electing
ihe Republican nominee for presi-
dent.
The county cast its heaviest
vote in history, 2,622, but only
2,552 were counted. Thus, 70 per-
sons did not vote for president
or mutilated ballots so they were
not counted.
Gov. Allan Shivers received
1,709 Democratic and 599 Repub-
lican votes, indicating his name
was scratched more1 than 300
times.
Sen. Price Daniel received 1,767
Democratic and 59 5 Republican
votes, indicating also his name
was marked off about 25 0 times.
Workman’s compensation car-
ried 875 to 631 and medical edu-
cation fund lost 7 87 to 726 in the
county.
The county cast 142 absentee
ballots with exactly one-half or
7\1 from the Panhandle box. With
74 6 votes personally cast, total
voters from the Panhandle box
was 817. Eisa(nhower carried
7 of 9 boxes and the absentee
ballots.
Thursday reports showed that
Eisenhower carried Texas 1,014,-
814 to 878,706 for Stevenson. This
was a lead of 146,108 with returns
incomplete.
Gov. Allan Shivers received
850,888 Democratic votes and'
280,532 Republican for a total of
1,131,420. Atty. Gen. Price Daniel,
candidate for U. S. senator, re-
ceived 848,893 Democratic votes
and 276,431 Republican.
Total vote for Eisenhower and
Shivers in Texas' was 1,893,520
with predictions the total may go
past 2,000,000.
These figures indicate that sev-
eral hundred thousand Texans
scratched both Shivers and Daniel.
General returns Thursday show-
ed Eisenhower with 31,875,451
votes and Stevenson 25.668,925,
a lead of 6,206,526. Indications
were that Eisenhower carried 38
out of 4 8 states with 430 electoral
votes to 101 for Stevenson.
States carried by Stevenson or
those in which he was leading
are: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and West Virginia.
The commissioners court will
meet Monday to canvass the votes.
The Herald hopes to print the
official tabulation next week.
