RICHMOND. Va, November g.
Virginia, home Of Thomas jefferson,
founder Of the Democratic party, and
for half century one Of the firmest
supporters OF that party of the Solid
South States, spent Its flrst day as a
Republican State by watching Repub-
lican congressional candidates add to
the victory registered by Herbert Hoo
YER.
The Hoover vote mounted slowly as
returns came from the mountain pre-
cincts In the southwestern section Of
the State, and his lead over Gov.
Smith stood more than 10000 with
returns from l,540 out OF 1855 pre-
cincts. The vote was Hoover. 154 ,065;
Smith. f32,O07. There was every in
dication that the unprecedently large
total vote Of 100000 would be recorded
in the Old Dominion State, and that
Smith might receive as many votes as
John w. Davis in 1924, 139.797.
James A. CARRIER, Republican, became
the second Of his party to win seat
in the states delegation In the House
today when Representative Thomas II.
Harrison. Democrat, of the seventh
district, conceded the election. Com
plete returns for the district gave Gar
Der a lead of SOC votes in 20,526 cast.

feated ]. T. Deal, Democratic incum-
bent, by q large majority on complete

Two other Republican congressional
candidates appeared to have good
chance, while q fourth conceded in the
fifth district to Representative Joseph
Whitehead, who held a commanding
lead of 1000 votes with the district re-
ported almost complete. Joseph c..
Shaffer, Republican, had 20,730 votes
to 19,609 for William II. Rouse, Demo-
crat, In the three-fourths complete

One of the biggest surprises in the
congressional returns Is the way in
which the Republican landslide for the
presidency has carried with it House
districts in what have heretofore been

Democratic seats in Kentucky, two In
Oklahoma, three in Virginia and two

that the sweep may carry other districts

to have resulted in the reelection oi

DECISIVE SMITH DEFEAT
Sees Continuation of Imperialism
in Philippines and Latin Amer

MADRID, November Recommending
on the American presidential election,
Fl Debate said today:
"AS far as Spain is concerned two
points in Smiths program merited our
approval--the independence Of the
Philippines and the protest against in
tervention In small Spanish American
countries. We know that Smiths VIC
tory would not have meant a radical
change in the foreign policy of the
United States, but regarding these two
points, 1t was sufficient to know that
the huge influence Of the President of
the Republic would lean In that direc-
ton and we admired him for his cour-
age IN saying so. For these reasons we
lament Smiths defeat.
The large majority given Hoover
makes us think that the imperialistic
policy followed for years in the Philip
pines and Spanish-America will con-
tinue and this we, of course, regret"

Campaign For Subscriptions Closes At Meeting of Officials
 This Noon.

Officials of the Civic Music Asso- citation met at noon today at the Burritt and wound up the campaign for memberships that has been pro- ceeding for several months. Total memberships, it was announced, were 7O3 adults and 1G box holders.
 The 703 members will be accom- modated on the first floor of the Capitol theater during the three con- certs to be given. The boxes will be in the front section of the bal cony. The rear section of the bal cony will be used to accommodate music students in the city under IS years, under a plan yet to be worked out in detail.
 The association started out with the hope of obtaining 1000 mem- bers, but it early was found that this figure would be rather high. The total actually secured is emi- nently satisfactory under the circum- stances and a successful season is in prospect, according to the estimate of officials.
 Judge W. c. Hungerford is presi- dent of the association and Arthur G. Kimball business manager. The latter announced he would sponsor a social time for the workers soon. A similar event was sponsored by Judge Hungerford at his residence some time ago.
