FREEMAN WINNER
IN DELEGATE RACE
Vienna Republican Elected in
Fairfax County Over Hall
by Safe Majority.

FAIRFAX, Va, November 6.-L. L
Freeman of Vienna, Republican, wa
yesterday elected to represent Fairfax
County in the next House of Delegate:
by a majority over his Democratic oppo-
nent. M. ID. Hall of Burke, which
amounted to 235 according to prelimi-
nary returns last night. Fairfax County
also gave a majority of 244 to John
Mosely Brown for governor. Gallon
Jones, coalition candidate for lieutenant
governor, received a majority of only n
and Charles Berkeley, coalition candl-
date for attorney general, beat the in
cumbent, John r. Saunders, by 80 votes
locally.
Both Republicans and Democrats
were pleased at the returns last night
Republicans at having elected a repre-
sentative of their party to the State
Legislature after a lapse of decades;
Democrats because the threatened land
slide in favor of Brown and the coali-
ton forces had been averted and the
eighth district had rolled up a subStan-
tial majority for Pollard and the rest
of the State ticket The Democratic
workers were also confident that by an
other election most of the Ill feeling en-
rendered in the last national election
will have disappeared and the two par
ties can return to their natural basis OF
rivalry on issues father than personali-
ties.
Many Ballots Illegally Marked.
The need for either printed voting
instructions on the ballots or for classes
in instruction was more than ever evil
denced yesterday by the number of
illegally marked ballots which had to
be destroyed, voters failing to cross of
three of the four names of candidates
for governor. The difference in the
: total number of votes cast for Pollard,
1880, and those for his running mate,
James H. Price, 1876, indicates the pro-
portionate loss.
In Falls Church precinct alone this
loss to Pollard was 80. One other factor
entered largely into the results in Fair
fav County-namely, the large number
of colored residents who had registered,
paid their poll taxes for the past three
years, and voted for the first time The
new registration of colored voters in
Falls Church precinct alone was 81
within the last few days, with a total
vote of colored residents amounting to
80 as against IL last year, and an even
smaller number in preceding years, All
of these votes were cast for the Repub-
lican ticket.
