WEDNESDAY
TIE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

Virginia Democrats have the right to feel
proud Of their party in State as well as in
nation. Yesterday their candidates were elected
without organized opposition. and without any
opposition from the second strongest party In
the State or from the new party led by Colonel
Roosevelt
The reasons for this lack of opposition and
the character and motives OF the two parties
which did place tickets in the fed when
analysed, increase rather than lessen the salts.

a word IN defense of its candidates for State
office.
