Democratic Triumph Extends
Throughout the Entire Country-A
Democratic Year.

The latest obtainable results OF
yesterdays election in the Old
Dominion indicate the most over
whelming victory for the entire
ticket that has been gained i'll the
last fifty years. The independent
strength for the Republican ticket,
for which so much was claimed, tall'
ed utterly to materialize, and the
minority vote was consistently ne
publican. The entire ticket IS gwen
naiorities estimated at not less than
GO000 and the most complete an
swer to the G. 0. P. campaign IS the
fact that it seems probable that
Trinkle has defeated Anderson even
in the Ninth Congressional District,
which has hitherto consistently re-
turned in large Republican MAORI
ties.
One of the most significant results
of the entire campaign is the tact
that in Richmond the Republican
count failed to go over 100 in any
one precinct, except IN, very 1e"
cases. Even in Colonel Anderson >
own precinct his strength was lnsls-
nifcant, he losing the precinct 10
Trinkle by vote of $50 to "a.
In view of the hurricane campaign
of the Republicans in Richmond, with
it's lavish expenditure OF campaign
funds. it is conceded that the cam
naipn lust closed was the most spec
tacular fiaseo in the political history
of Virginia.
Counties and cities, one after an,
other. reported largely increased
Democratic majorities, the party
nnte exceeding that cast for Cover
nor Cox for the presidency, whlie sle c
vote for Colalei anderson fell ior
the most part behind that cast toT
President Harding IN the nauoilal
election of 1920. ~
In the Fifth Congressional DIS
trict, J. Murray Hooker, of Patrick:
was elected to Congress as part OF
the Democratic landslide, to III the
vacancy left b. the death OF the late
Rorer A. James. ,4o.
In the Virginia house Of delegates
the Democrats have more tnah nelu
their own, with an actual gam OF Two
mambers of the House in Rocking
ham County and one in Giles ana
Rland. with the possible loss OF TWO
in Washington County.
In the Ninth District, incomplete
returns indicate that the Repupiic:a.n a..
majority will be but fraction OF us
usual strength, and Trinkle may nave
carried the district. Trinkle has car
ried Giles, Pulaski and Russell coun-
+;es by large majorities, and Smythe
and probably Wythe by smaller ma M:
;or;ties The usual heavy Repuoil,,
can leads in Tazewell, Lee, Scout anu
wise have been considerably Fe
duced. -
The returns from all over the
country indicate that the Democra!lc '
Party is coming into its own again,
In New York City Mayor Hylan was
reelected bv 100000 majority. MIS-
Annie Matthews was elected to, the
off;re Of registrar of the Borough OF
Manhattan. the first woman ever 70
he elected to so important an oI1lce
in New York city or state. IN ne"
Work State five imnortant cities
have elected Democratic mayors over
tehir Republican opponents. Returns
from the legislative elections IN Ne"
York State indicate that the Repuo,
l;cans will lose twenty seats IN the
lower house.
In Maryland the Democratic ticket
appears to have scored decisive VIZ
tory The Democratic State Comp
troller was elected by large major. 10,
;tv' probably as great as lS,oOO. Ihe
legislature is Democratic. IN .;i,a, Sal,
;tmore the Republican city ticket
was defeated. Baltimore County
lined up on the Democratic slde '
and throughout the State conslstell Ell.
Democratic gains were shown II i'o
actual victories in every case.
The result throughout the countr!
;n5;cates Democratic gains, or Ger
tainlv large reductions OF former
Republican majorities.
