SMITH IS VICTOR
BY WIDE MARGIN
! IN CONGRESS RACE
Polls Nearly Half of Vote in
Eighth Virginia
District.
ALEXANDRIA EXCEEDS
VOTE IN ARLINGTON
Candidates Victory Declared to
Give Little Solace to Either
VETS or Drys.
BY LESTER N. INsKEEP.

Judge Howard w. Smith of Alexan-
dris captured nearly half of the total
vote of the eighth congressional district
of Virginia yesterday in his race for the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Returns that were complete from all
but two small precincts in Stafford
County today gave Judge Smith 1927
of the total vote of 1902, his nearest
competitor being State Senator Frank
L. Ball of Arlington County, with a
total vote of 4,546.
Smith Takes Lead Early.
While the supporters of Ball and
Thomas r. Keith of Fairfax, the latter
q member of the law firm headed by
r. Walton Moore, the retiring Repre-
sentative, yesterday expressed confidence
in the success of their candidates, 1t
was evident early in the day that
Smiths nomination was assured. His
plurality, however, was much greater
than was anticipated. Keith ran third
with a total vote of 3,942, while Capt.
Crandal Mackey, Arlington County wet,
received $50 and e. H. De Jarnette of
Orange received 237; of this number,
1879 votes were in his own county.
1t will be somewhat difficult for
either the vets or drys to derive any
great comfort from yesterdays vote, for
the successful nominee was the only
commit himself upon this question, all
of his opponents making this the main
issue of their campaigns. Ball is a
dry, Mackey is extremely wet. Keith is
wet and DeJarnette advocated the dis
tribution Of liquor at the rate of a
quart month per individual.
Alexandria Vote Large.
Among the many surprises of yester-
DAVIS balloting was the fact that Alex
andria polled more votes than did Ar
lington County, a heretofore unheard
of proceeding, and it was to this that
Smith may attribute large amount OF
his plurality, Ball losing on the same
basis. The heavy Alexandria voting
supporters, but the lighter vote in Ar
Ington County effectively wiped out
any chance that Ball might have had
in the beginning.
Alexandrias total vote was 3,737 as
compared with Arlington's total OF
1920 votes OF the Alexandria vote
Smith received 2.7l8; Ball, 731; keith,
2O3: Mackey, 81, and DeJarnette, 3.
Arlington's vote gave Ball zoos; Smith,
1877: Mackey, AL, and Keith, l2e
DeJarnette failed to receive a single
vote in the county.
Deferred Announcement Blamed.
kelJnS IaHuIe " CaAiy AtS
county, which he lost to Smith by q
narrow margin, is attributed by his
supporters to the fact that me did not
announce his candidacy until many in
fiuential votes had been pledged TO
Smith.
The result in Prince William County
was surprising to many because Rev
David Hepburn, director OF the Virginia
Anti-Saloon League, had been WORKING
there for Ball Smith, nevertheless,
carried the county by SUBSTANTIAL
margin.
The total vote in the district was
considered extremely gratifying to the
Democrats, since it had been estimated
that tlse vote would be between 10000
and 10000 and it almost reached the
latter figure.
