RESTING ON
" LAURELS

Democratic leaders in Virginia
are resting on their laurels, and
their majority, which they be-
lieve will reach $1,000 admittedly
far exceeds their fondest expec-
tations. For weeks prior to yes
terday'S election. thev were un-
certain, although they felt that
the Democratic ticket would be
elected by a small majority.
The Republican-anti-Smith coali-
ton forces made a vigorous bid
to keep the Old Dominion in the
Republican ranks, and they ex.
pended a lot of money and made
a, militant campaign from all
angles. Even up to the last
minute, they were hopeful Of the
outcome, and the landslide was
shock that dazed all their
leaders, who have remained very
quiet since the ballots have been
tabulated.
See Years of Peace
To many Democratic leaders the
return SO overwhelmingly to the
Democratic fold indicates that the
opposition is properly disposed Of
for many years to come. The
struggle was bitter, and many
leaders resorted to personalities.
Both sides have admitted that the
DePriest incident turned the tide,
and the last eight days prior to
the election the undercurrent was
so great in favor of the Democrats
that it, could not be Stemmed.
Many Of the voters were silent
and refused to discuss the cam.

there was general apathy on the
part Of the rank and file, but the
political dopeSters assert they

silent voters simply went to the

which it has so long belonged.
Blow to Cannon
The election was a decided
blow to Bishop James Cannon
jr.. who has been the recognized
leader of the coa1itionists and
who recently issued plea for the
voters to 60 to the polls and sup
port the opposition ticket. After
issuing this statement, Bishop
Cannon left for Brazil to attend
