Democratic Congress
sional Candidate Wins

Richmond. Va, Nov. 9.-Unofficial
returns received from throughout the
state by the News Leader early today
show State Senator e. Lee Trinkle
Democratic candidate for governor,
leading Henry w. Anderson, his Re
publican opponent by a margin OF
point to an ultimate majority for the
Democratic candidate of $1,000, said
by political experts to lie the biggest
Democratic victory in this state in
half a century Trinkle's vote was
much larger than that given Cox in
the last presidential election, while
Anderson's was only about two-thirds
that given Harding.
Trinkle not only won in nine of the
Congressional districts of the state,
but is believed to have run almost
neck and neck with his opponent in
the ninth district, the only great Re-
publican stronghold in the state in
which c. Bascom -Slemp, the only
republican member of congress
from this state lives.
With returns from one Richmond
precinct missing, Trinkle, whose
home in is Wytheville, received 11,475
while Anderson, who lives in Rich
mond, received 3,039 votes here, Trim
kle receiving plurality of $500 here.
Democratic leaders declared today
that complete return from the ninth
district would give Trinkle a major
ity in that section of the state. Word
to the News-Leader from Wytheville,
Mr.. Trinkle's home town, which is in
the ninth district, was to the effect
that it was doubted there that the Re-
publican stronghold had been broken
but it was admitted that the vote was
a great deal closer than had been
admitted

nine districts not heard from. Two
senatorial districts still were doubt
full and with one of these the Demo-
Gratis would have majority of two in
that branch of the legislature, II
now being conceded to the Republic
ans.

Republicans held their own was in
the city of Louisville, where Judge
