A very light vote was polled in Vir-
ginia. Claude A. Swanson, the demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, appears
to have carried the State by "a, 600 ma
JOrity over Judge Lunsford L. Lewis,
republican. Democratic candidates for
local aud legislative oficeswere elected
generally throughout the State, though
by reduced msjorities. There was
so little interest in Richmond that out
of total vote of about 1000 only about
$500 were polled The democratic
majority in the city is about 2, 500.
Some persons estimate the total vote
in Virginia at less than 100, 900. The
republicans have representation in the
present legislature on joint ballot of
about 6. In the next legislature they
will apparently have about %, repub-
lican gain of 9 or 10 members of the
General Assembly.
The fight for the Louisa county sena-
torship resulted in the election OF Judge
Sims. George Whitehead, democratic
candidate for the House from Nelson
county, has also won.
The republicans will probably carry
the counties of the Ninth district by the
same percentage of majorities as those
polled in the congressional election last
year. The republicans expect their can
didate, Judge Lewis, TO come out of the
Ninth district with 10, 900 majority.
The negro vote was exceedingly light
all over the State. They maintained
their threat to keep away from the polls.
Swanson, for Governor, and the dem
ocratic ticket will receive large MAORI
ties in the eastern districts.

Lewis and Mason, dem, for House of
Delegates, 1863 majority over Griffith, rep.
Fairfax elects Robert f. Lee to the
House by over 200 majority, and that
county has given Swanson majority
exceeding this for Governor.
Culpeper goes for Swanson aud the
rest of the democratic ticket by at least
$50 majority. The vote polled through
out Loudoun county was very small.
Complete returns from the county give
Swanson, for Governor, majority over
Lewis of 875; Ellyson, for Lieutenant
Governor, majority of $50 over
Kent, and about the same for the rest
of the democratic ticket. Major B. w.
Lynn, for Senator from Loudoun and
Fauquier, had no opposition. j. II.

ority over L. w. Hickman of $50. F.

Of 800.
Fauquier gives Swanson a big ma.
ority. Green defeats Strother for the

Later returns show more apathy on
the part of the republicans than on the
part OF the democrats Reports from the
southwest give the following returns

majority of only eight Patrick goes
democratic by small majority; Wise,
republican by 900; Pearisburg, demo-

publican sources give Lewis Tszewell,

Grayson, By 200; Shenandoah, by 300.
The democrats show increased msjOrities
over last year in those sections where
there vas warm contest in the recent
primary. The southwest district has
been considered the republican strong
hold.
Returns from the Ninth district,
Semp's home, show a decided falling of
from the Roosevelt and Slemp vote OF
