Issuing to the people OF the state his
prediction statement regarding the
result Of the campaign in Virginia,
State Democratic Chairman j. Taylor
Ellyson claims the election OF ten
Democrats to the House OF Representa-
tives next Tuesday. He now feels sure
of the success OF Mr.. Stuart and Judge
Saunders In the Ninth ana Fifth Dis
trlcts. the two which have been re-
garded as doubtful during the CAM
paign.
In his statement Chairman Ellyson
takes occasion to express his apprecia-
tton OF the aid which has been rendered
the party in the Ninth by leaders from
other sections of the State. The ignor-
Ing OF former differences in the desire
to redeem the Ninth and elect Mr..
stuart has been especially pleasing to
the chairman
Issues Formal Statement.
His statement through The Tines
Dispatch to the people of the state Is
as follows:
The campaign in Virginia is draw
Ing to a close, and in few /iys will
be over. l venture to predict that Yir-
gina will have ten Democrats to repre-
sent her In the next Congress. In seven
of our congressional districts there has
been either no opposition, or such az
did not require special attention. It
is not strange, therefore, that the
Ninth, Fifth and Second Districts were
fS1e 4 stx.h n S,a int SaNn
tered.
In the Second the contest was over
the nomination. There had been much
feeling aroused, but the nomination OF
Senator E. E. Holland has happily
healed all differences, and his oppon-
ents for the nomination are giving him
most loyal and active support, leaving
no doubt as to his triumphant cleo
ton. 80
In the Fifth District the. car.7a i;ga
has been conducted most skillfully and
In a manner most crcditabie to our
party managers The last four weeks
have witnessed an activity and an ever
increasing interest in the fortunes of
our Democratic nominee that will in
sure his election next Tuesday by a
good majority We are very grateful
to our friends In other districts who

of speech to further the efforts Of Jud ge

United Effort in Ninth.
But 1T Is upon the contest in tho
Ninth District. however, that the larg-
est share Of attention has been be-
slowed. The Democratic leaders or tina t
district. aud indeed of the whole State,
realized the Importance of selecting a
strong candidate and making an ef-
fective campaign not merely for the
election OF a Democratic Congressman. n.
but because OF the good effect the de-
feat of the Republicans would have
throughout the State.
The nomination Of Hon. Henry C..
Stuart was received with great enthus-
itasm. He was recognized as man In
every way worthy of the honor and
the cordial and hearty support which
place he has in the affection Of the
people of the district. But his friends
have notrel.ed upon his personal popu-
slarity to ainaure his success. for as SO on
as his nomination was made, our party
leaders In the I. district began at once
to secure an organization n&eyerys city
and county so perfect and complete as
never to have been surpassed by any
similar organization within my recol-
lection in the history of the politics OF
Virginia. have never seen such sac-
cord and hearty co-operaton as has
the conduct o. fSthe Derno-
cratic forces or the Ninth District, ana
the unanimity and cordlallty with
which they have worked together In
this campaign is wort hy Of the hig hest
praise. Il,
