ALEXANDRIA. Va. November 3, 1909.
About I,1oo votes polled here yesterday
is 600 less than the normal size of the
vote.
The head of the state ticket-for gov
ernor-was scratched by many voters
, Others did not vote this ticket.
In the contest for secretary of the
commonwealth more votes were thrown
out than for any other Office. In the
first ward thirty votes were for Mr.. Egg
gleston. who recently died. but whose
name was on the ticket
:, The republicans fell short of the vote
they predicted, democrats taking every
!, thing Apathy of the democrats. how
ever, reduced their majorities over re-
publicans in all four wards.
.. One republican made a good run. Jo-
seph l.. Crupper of this city. candidate
for state treasurer. came within sixty
votes of carrying the city.
3 Judge Mann received 793 votes in the
city and 202 in Alexandria county. Capt
kents vote In the city was but 191 and in
the county il was 81. Manns majority in
the city was GU2 and in the county IL,
a total of I24.
Moncure Elected Delegate.
For the house of delegates Robinson
Moncure showed under Robert Bell Amiss
&. Gndependent). Moncure in the city re-
eeived 49, and Amss 63. In the county
Moncure got 233 votes and Amiss 10. Mon
cures total majority in city and county
is. therefore. 1,1O2.
Carter II. Smith (democrat defeated
Charles Deaborn (republican) for the posi-
ton of measurer of wood and bark, get
ting a majority Of 800 The total vote
was: Smith, 6I5: Dearborn, 80.
Practically the full vote was given for
city officers who were elected without op-
position. They are as follows: S. G..
Brent, commonwealth attorney: r. H.
Cox. city sergeant; J; r. Waller. clerk
OF gas: 8. p. Fisher, city attorney; Thorn
as w. Robinson, city treasurer; Z. F..
German. collector OF taxes: L. +. Price,
city auditor; Charles Swain, measurer of
lumber.
The light vote cast here has been the
subject Of comment today. and especially
the small showing made by the republic
ans in the gubernatorial contest. Many
were of opinion that the republicans
would poll 800 votes in the gubernatorial
contest. an estimate that was excessive by
1o:, votes. In proportion to the votes cast.
the republican candidate for governor
made better showing In Alexandria
county than in the city.
But little interest was manifested in the
fight. and few appeared anxious to hear
the city returns.
