RICHMOND, Va, November 10
Semi official election returns trickling
In today disclosed that the next State
LEGISLATURE will have four instead of
two women in the House of Delegates.

jority over her Republican opponent,
II. L. Franklin. Miss Helen r. Hen
derson Of Buchanan County defeated
J. Thompson Mrs. Sorah Lee Fain of
Norfolk, who has served two terms,

yesterday to be running behind her
Independent opponent, Reed Stone
was reelected, according to todays re-
turns.
Veteran Clerk Reelected.
The election of Stanhope S. Hurt,
who has been clerk of Pittsylvania
County 54 years, was an outstanding
event in that county. Mr.. Hurt is
nearly 80 years old. He has often been
opposed, in every contest emerging a
winner.
Senator George w. Layman of Craig
County, opposed by George A. Rever-
comb, a Republican, was returned to
the Senate, but his majority is much
simmer than for many years. Senator
John H. Johnson, Democrat, of Lee
and Scott Counties, was defeated for
the Senate by something like 400 votes,
Ryland Crafts being elected.
The small vote cast in cities is
causing a great deal Of comment
Here in Richmond, for instance, with
q registered vote of 10000, less than
5000 persons went to the polls. In
Norfolk less than 1000 votes We're
cast out a total possible vote of
some $4,000. In the counties the
people had to elect county officers,
and in a number of cases there had
been no nominations, the election
being free and easy.
Stafford County Setback.
Stafford County, home of the Mon
cures, administered a severe setback
to the organized Democrats, defeating
the candidates Of the majority party
by good majorities. Just how this
was brought about is not yet under
stood.
There is growing dissatisfaction
against the primary system, especial
ly in the counties, and Republicans
are charging, in connection with Lal
loting by mail in the Ninth district
that the voters are sought out, their
ballots marked and then they are
paid a price for that, declining tc
go to the polls. 1t is declared by
Gome that the elections are controlled
by this method and that both parties
especially in the Ninth district, arr

avoid many customary profits and find and cor
