ton Is the presence at the polls OF
w. A. Young. defeated candidate fol-
the congressional nomination
Mr.. Young is working hard for
Colonel Holland. who defeated him
and spent the day getting out the
Sote. The prospects are that not
over 1850 votes will be cast In Nor.
folk out OF total registration OF H.
600. and an acuired vote OF between
5000 and 1000.
Apathy seems to prevail on every
hand. Several OF the judges ventured
the assertion that but for the inter-
eat taken In the constitutional amend
mente up to-day the vote would have
been even lighter than 1t has been
to this time.
Two Tickets.
Two tickets are being voted, one
the regular congressional ticket and
tho other containing the constitutional
amendment.
The congressional ticket contains
the names of Colonel e. r. Holland
OF Suffolk, Democrat: III. H. Rumble
Of Norfolk county. Republican,; G.
Il. Good. Of Norfolk. Social Demo-
crat. and George H. Gaskins. OF
Portsmouth. independent
The Democrats expect to give Colo
mel Holland a big majority OF the
votes cast-to-day.
The constitutional amendment tick
ct Is being scratched generally In the
city, many are voting for all the
amendments. many are voting against
to be voting for some of thcm and
against some.
The vote in Princess Anne will be
light to-day The Republicans are
