Fourth District Votes
Heavy Preference For
Stanley, Aides Tuesday
COP Challenge
Is Heaviest
In 25 Years

Prince Edward county and her
Fourth District sisters of Amelia.
Buckingham, Cumberland, Motto
way and Powhatan were solid
Democratic rocks IN an otherwise
shifting sand general election
Tuesday.
Charlotte county. a neighbor in
the Fifth District, followed the
general pattern OF Southside
counties in preference for the
Democratic candidates.
In Prince Edward county,
Democrat Thomas B. Stanley was
voted a two-and -a-haf to one
majority over Republican Ted
Dalton during gubernatorial
election in which COP candidates
made their strongest stand in a
quarter century
Almond Strong
County voters were even strong
Ell in their preference for j. Lind
say Almond, Jr.. for Attorney
General and A. E. S. Stevens for
Lieutenant Governor. These
Democratic candidates won over
Walter Hoffman. of Norfolk. and
Stephen d. Undertake by Whop-
ping better than three TO one
margins.
The relatively close statewide
split for Governors per cent
Democratic and As per cent Re
publican-and the more solid
support for Attorney General and
Lieutenant-G Governor is shown by
these state totals:
I For governor Stanley. 220,40O.

For Lieutenant Governor: Ste
phens 208.508; Undertake I53,-
496.
For Attorney General: Almond
2l4,0l3; Hoffman 14l.842.
Fourth Makes Record
But Prince Edward county and
Fourth District had no part in
the upsurge of Republican senti-
ment characterizing other areas
OF the state.
Prince Edward county preferred
Thomas B. Stanley as governor

d m ocratic preference in
Amelia, buckingham, Cumberland.
NOttoway, Powhatan and Char
lotte was generally similar to that
here. In some cases even stronger,
in others not quite SO much.
But in total. Fourth District
ballots put this area down in the
record as strongly in the Demo-
cratic organization fold. That out
standing preference was COM
mented on in all state wide cleo
ton summaries.
Not All Elation
In the Fourth, Stanley piled up
an overwhelming margin OF "a
$50 to 1916 with only three pre-
clnctS Of 1874 unreported. The
next-door fifth went to Stanley
26,481 to 1900.
Locally. election interest in
gubernatorial general election was
near record high in number of
votes cast. Prince Edward county
voters totaled almost 1900. In the
past less interesting elections
