Roanoke Monday .. = ur was ad-
vised by his phvsi :. T. .omain in
bed several days 'o,a~, '. Crup-
per, State Republican chairman. who
was in conference Wit Mr.. Ander-
son this morning. re oYted his con-
dition as improvinC
primary Obligations Causc<l 1t"
THE Overwhelming defeat OF tho
Republican party In Virginia yester-
day was caused mainly by the pre-
sumed moral Obligation imroscd by
the primary election laws" was the
statement made to The News Leader
this morning by Mr. Cruprer. While
defeat was not unexpected, the ma
jority given Governor-elect Trinkle
over Henry w. Anderson, his Repub-
lican opponent, is astounding to j,e.
publican party followers in Virginia.
Mr.. Cruppcr added.
The Silent voters" to whom MIR.
Crupper referred as being the sup
porters Of Harry st. George Tucker
i'll the Democratic primary last Au-
gust, were prevented by party
pledges from voting their convic-
tions, Mr.. Crupper said, and this
, took thousands Of votes from the
Anderson ticket. Tho Republican
chairman likened Mr.. Anderson's
campaign to those in the past of Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
AS was true with Bryan, he said,
Anderson commanded large and en-
thusiastic audiences, but when cleo
ton day came he was showed under
by those who appeared to be his
supporters.
Mr.. Crupper let it be known that
the "anti-machine" element of the
; Democratic party in Virginia can
. expect no more help from the Re-
publican voters In the State. They
decry ring rule" he said, and then
vote for it's continuation.
Have Not Lost Hope.
The Republican party in Virginia
has not lost hope, Mr.. Crupper said,
and an extensive campaign will be
waged next year against the Demo-
cratic nominee for the United States
Senate. His party will not wait I'M
, TIL spring to name their candidate,
but will ahve one in the field early
In the year, Mr.. Crupper said
1.-THE principles expounded by
Mr.. Anderson in his campaign have
not Gied in his defeat" Mr.. Crup-
per said, but will in years to come
carry the Republican party into
power, bring about representative
government in Virginia. and pri-
mary elections will have to be done
away with and nominations made
by convention"
Mr.. CrGpper comedies the Repub-
lican defeat In Virginia yesterday
to be entirely local to the State in
it's significance, with no bearing
whatsoever upon national politics.

HOWARD DEFEATS SHAW UNI.
NEisSlTY by SCORE "a TO O.

Washington, ID. C.--The Howard
University football eleven, DESPITE
the absence Of its two star players.
Bull Dog" Williams and Nelson,
who were injured in the West Vir-
ftnia Collegiate Institute game, Oc-
tober goth, gave defeat to the Shaw
University (Raleigh, N. c. team,
Saturday, November 9Th, by score
Q! ID to 0.
While the Shaw team put up a
good fight in the first quarter,
making it appear in the first eight
minutes Of play that 1t would be
diiticult for Howard to score, how
ever, as soon as the "White and
Blue" eleven got themselves to-
Scthcr, they dispelled. all misgivings
by smashing through Shaw's line
for two touchdowns in the latter
part OF the first quarter, goal being
kicked each time.
Near the end OF the first quar-
ter II. Williams, Shaw's fullback,
slipped through Towards defenscs
and gave her the scare Of the year
by making 45-yard run to the
"Blue and Whites" 1O-yard line. 1t
was here that Towards line showed
its strength by holding Shaw for
the four downs. The remainder of
the first half was played mostly In
the center Of tho field.
The second half contained many
thrills, but no scores, until the
fourth quarter, when Howard made
45-yard run end, with an exhibi-
ton of perfect interference. After
two successive gains of six yards
each, the ball was sent across for
Howard's third touchdown. Goal
was again kicked.
With about three minutes in
which to play Howard made an
other attempt to score when 20
yard gallop brought the ball within
striking distance of Shaw's goal.
Shaw's limo held for two downs On
the third down q short forward
pass was completed bringing the
ball to the center Of tho field, from
which place a drop kick was regis
tered from the 20-yard line for q
field goal, giving Howard her final
score for the game.
Shaw was by far the strongest
aggregation to visit Howard this
season, and the account Of the game
might have read differently were it
not for Howard's defensive team
work. Towards victory over Shaw
leaves her still unsecured upon for
tho season. 1t was the "Blue and
Whites" fifth game for the season
and the last to be played at home.
