will not be known until early tomorrow
morning.
An extraordinary vote is expected to be
polled on account Of unusual interest
that the fight between the two rival fac
tions has attracted throughout the state.
Senator Martin was expected to vote at
his home in Charlottesville and to come
to Richmond later today to get the re-
turns.
Closing the Campaign.
The closing speeches of the campaign
were made last night. Speeches we're
made at barbecue at Chatham by SEN
ators Martin and Swanson. after which
Senator Martin went to Charlottesville,
where he spoke last night. Senator Swan
son spoke at Danville and will return to
Chatham to cast his ballot. Jones de-
iivered his last speech at Fredericks-
burg. and went to Warsaw to vote while
Representative Glass closed his campaign
In his home city, Lynchburg.
The closing of the campaign in Rich
mond was spectacular. There was an
automobile parade over the principal
streets OF the city, during which red
lights glowed for two hours. and large
crowds on the streets cheered for Martin
and Swanson.
Counteracting the Martin-Swanson auto
parade was a mass meeting under the
auspices of the Virginia Democratic
League, in the interest of Representatives
Jones and Glass, at the City Auditorium,
where band rendered several selections
and former Gov. Andrew j. Montague
made one of the most forceful speeches
of the campaign against Martin and
Swanson.
A Long Campaign.
The campaign has been on since the
lst Of March, at which time the Vir-
ginia Democratic League was organized,
and every county in the state has heard
able speakers in the interest Of the vari-
Gus candidates. The issues on which Jones
and Glass have made their campaign
have been the overturning of the ma
chine, which they contend is injuring
the democratic party In the state; favor
ing primary election law, the election
of United States senator's and members
of the state corporation commission by
a direct vote of the people and greater
economy in the administration of the
states business.
Conflicting Claims.
The Martn-Swanson wing claims VIC
tory by majority Of 25,OOO and the
Jones-Glass wing by at least 5000. The
views as expressed at the various head
quarters are as follows:
Representative Hal d. Flood manager
of Senator Martins headquarters:
Senator Martin will carry the state by
a majority OF not less than 2J.ONO Mar
| tin and Swanson will run along together.
The first district is conceded to jones'
| Cunningham Hall of the Swanson head
quarters:
Senator Swanson will run about even
with Mr.. Martin, but will have the added
IL siy,..H Ht<,y, sct~
| of his opponent, Mr.. Glass"
c. B. Garnett, manager of the Virginia
| Democratic League.
Jones and Glass will run about even
| in the state. They will win by majority
| of at least 1900.
Martin-Swanson Campaign.
| The campaign was summed up by Rep
! resentative Flood in the interest of Sena-
tor Martin. in brief, as follows:
Our campaign has extended over about
two weeks. OF course. some correspond
| ence has been done in Washington The
bulk of the work, however. has been done
! In Richmond in the past two weeks.
| feei satisfied that Senator Martins ma
| Jorfty will be very much the largest ever
given any candidate in a primary. The
work of the past two weeksShas aroused
| the people all over the state. and besides
| the people are more and more disgusted
| with Mr.. Jones campaign and the re-
| suit is going to be the most satisfa ctory
from our standpoint. Senator Martin
will carry nine out of the ten congress
sional districts. and the majority will
| be good In each.''
| Fred Harper. in charge Of Senator
| Swanson campaign, said:
Senator Swanson will emerge from
| this campaign with such a vote as will
show that the people have confidence In
him: that his past services have been
and are appreciated. I haven't the least
| doubt that he will carry every congress
sional district in the state. He will make
| a clean sweep.
! Claims for Jones and Glass.
No less bright are the views of C. B.
| Garnett of the Virginia Democratic
League. which has managed the Jones'
Glass campaign. He said:
/ THE machine claims that Senator Mar.
! tins vote this year will exceed the total
J vote secured by Senator Martin and Gov
| Montague in the primary of six years
ago. The third district is claimed by
| the machine, whereas our advices are
! that it is reliably safe for the anti-ma
chine candidates. The first district will
| give Mr.. Jones an overwhelming ma jor-
| ity. Accomac county, one of the sixteen
counties in that district, may be expected
to roll up majority Of 1900 for Jones
| and because of Swanson's unpopularity '
there Glass will run close with Jones'"
