a total vote of about 5000 Representa-
tive John Lamb was yesterday nom
mated to succeed himself In Congress,
Debating Judge T. Ashby Wickham.
The new term begins on March Of
next year. and when 1t is completed
Captain Lamb will have served sixteen
years continuously from the metropol-
ttan district of Virginia.
A Nearly complete returns frou, zach
county, excepting Goochland. show
that the total vote fell about 1000
below the full voting strength OF the
Democrats of the district. In the
Mann-Tucker primary OF one year year,
about 5000 votes were po1led in the
Third District.
Vote Not Large.
In Richmond there was some show
OF activity throughout the day. The
friends OF both candidates were fairly,
busy getting the voters to the polls,
but the lack of close organIzatic was
clearly Indicated in the fact that the
total vote only reachad 1890. whereas
1t was 5.166 in the primary OF April
21 OF this year.. when candidates were
nominated for the City Council. and
.5,416 in the gubernatorial contest Of
last August
In some OF the counties, the vote.
was fairly large, while in others much
apathy was exhibited.
It was impossible to get returns
from all OF the precincts last night.
Some Of these could not be reached
by telephone. while not word found
Its way into Richmond from Goochland
vote there would exceed $50.
The returns received give total vote
for Captain Lamb of BOIL, and for
Judge Wickham. Of 1851 This makes
q majority OF $50, estimates based on
the returns which are in bringing the
probably majority up to eoo
City in Doubt.
It was expected that Richmond's 4
vote would decide the election. Early
In the day the friends Of Judge Wick
ham were inclined to be jubilant,
claiming that the first votes cast in
most Of the city precincts wore favor
knew the district realized that the
Henrico Senator would have to poll
a large maj ority in Richmond to over
come the almost certain lead In the
counties for Captain Lamb. where his
was not SO web known.
= Judge Wickhams friends were. While
that he was not nomi-
mated, more than gratified at the show
Ing he made under the circumstances.
When asked as to whether he would be
q candidate again for the nomination, !
Judge Wickham would not express him
