The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1911-09-07

Senator Thos. s. Martin and Claude A.
Swanson swept the State Thursday in
the Democratic primary TO choose two
candidates for u. 5. Senate to be elect
by the Legislature next January for the
terms beginning March 4, 1912, and
March 4. 1913, respectively, their ma
iorties being estimated at 10000.
The Senators were opposed by Con
gresham William A. Jones, Of the
First District. and Congressman Car
ter Glass, Of the Sixth District.
The number Of votes cast was some
what larger than anticipated. No
trouble is reported from any section.
Congressman Glass voted at Lynch
burg, Senator Martin at Charlottesville
and Senator Swanson at Chatham. Con-
gresham Jones was paired and did not
go to Warsaw TO vote.
Mr.. Jones carried the First District
his own. Majorities were given against
| him in the Peninsula section, and In
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, while
King and Queen appear TO be a tie. Yet
he received a flattering vote IN the
Northern Neck, where he lives.
Mr.. Glass was not so fortunate.
From incomplete returns he seems to
have lost his own district-the Sixth
by perhaps a vote of two for Mr.. Swan
son to one for Mr.. Glass. Halifax,
Charlotte, Roanoke city and county
gave heavy majorities against Glass. A
large vote was given him in in his home
city, Lynchburg, but Senator Martin
secured one even larger.
In fact, no section turned its back on
a home man. Senator Martin majority
was increased in Albemarle county over
that given him six years ago. Senator
Swanson swept his home county Of
Pittsylvania. Everybody was Endorsed
at home.
Only one or two counties in the
State outside of the First District
were lost by Senators Martin and
Swanson. One of these is Bed
ford, where large majorities were
given for MIR. Glass, the local con-
gresham, and for Mr.. Jones. Such
counties as Loudoun and Mecklen-
burg, which has been claimed by the
Virginia Democratic League, return
ed majorities for Martin and Swan
son.
In the Seventh and Ninth Dis
tricts the size of the majority was
evidently measured by the size OF
the vote. Martin and Swanson re-
ceived nearly all the ballots. but in
most of the counties the vote was
light in the absence of local con-
tests.
