Legislature as
Usual.
KEEZELLW WINS
IN ROCKINGHAM

in Newport News, and Edmond
son Defeats Kerns in Hall
fax-Somc Close Dis
tricts in South
west.


Based upon returns received up to
e:30 o'clock this morning. 1t is safe
to assert that the Democrats swept
the State on light vote in yester.
days legislative elections, and will
control the two branches of the Gem
eral Assembly by the usual majority.
There Were number of contests
for local county Offices. though OH
many OF these party lines We're not
drawn. and they are therefore not OF
widespread public interest. Returns
from the Southwest are meagre, though
indications are that the Republicans
have probably increased their lead by
q few votes from that section.
In Rockingham Barney" Keezcll
swept down all opposition. and was
returned to the Senate by over 4o6
majority, pulling the entire Democra-
tic county and Legislative ticket
through with him.
Hon. w. e. Barrett. Democrat. won
for the House in Newport News. after
bitter contest, and the district of
Fluvanna and Goochland is In doubt
The same is true of Stafford and King
George. where Indications seem to
slightly favor the Democratic nominee
for the House.
Tho Democrats had sweeping vic.S
tory in Danville and Pittsylvania over
the Independent ticket. though Henry
sends, Republican. to the House ia
succeed Hon. j. M. Barker, Jr. f(Demo-
crat). Major Henry A. Edmondson de.
feated Hon. II. Q. Kerns.. Incumbent, fot
the Senate in Halifax by over 900 ma
1ority. and in Lunenburg Hon. S. Fl.
Love was elected to the House over
Mr.. George T. Allen In both OF these
counties all the aspirants were Demo.
Gratis.
