Eressn,nn Joncs's home county, went
against the senator, as did Wcsttf1oreland.
j. Another Surprise.

aBal1St tue SENATOR as I'D iWeSllnOfclAnu.
Another Surprise. v
Es Senator Martins handsome victory In
the Eighth District was another SUR
prise. 1t was hoped that he would carry
the county, But 1T was never expected
that lie would win SO handsomely there
Tho predictions that the Seventh Dis
@trlct the senator's own, would give him
five thousand majority, seem almost, x
not wholly verified even with the light
voteacast. Albcinarlc and charlottesville,
Senator Martins home city, and county,
gave him the handsome majority Of
about 400. # III
Iii Congressman Swanson appears to have
carried his district, tho Fifth, by nearly,
4 II not quite, fivo thousand, and his ma
jority In the Ninth Is not quite
5ns heavy. He made d tremendously strong
showing In Mr.. WIllards own district,
and carried Judge Mhnn's against him.
Tho vote cast for the brilliant yo',ng
congressman was magnificent tribute
ito the man beaten four years ago, but
whose handsome acceptance OF the result,
won him thousands Of friends Ill over tho
State. From the first thousands have
regarded him az the logical and Inevitable
candidate for Governor. III /.
- The friends or the congressman were
greatly grieved that his pride and JOY
In his splendid triumph was darkened by
the shadow bf bereavement In the death
OF Mrs. Swanson's mother on the very
eve Of tho election. This has cast a
shadow over what would otherwise have
been an occasion Of unalloyed satisfaction
and pleasure
Many Congratulate Him.
