Unofficial returns from all the pre- cincts in the State give Hoover a ma- Jority of 24,515. His vot> was 165,510, considerably more than twice the 73,359 Coolidge received in Virginia in 1924. Smith's vote was 140995 which was 1.198 ‘higher than the vote which John W. Davis recefved in Virginia four | years ago. | Gov. Smith carried 52 counties and six cities of Virginia, carried 48 counties and 17 cities.

The Republicans | nominated congressional candidates in only 5 of the 10 districts. Had they nominated candidates in all the dis- tricts their representation in the mnext Congress would probably have been Jarger than it will be. The name of Claude A.

It is believed that this combination ‘will place in the field candidates for all the State-wide and local offices which ‘will be voted on next year. The names of Henry W. Anderson of Richmond. Republican gubernaterial candidate in 1921; Robert H. Angell of Roanoke, State Republican chairman; James Can- non, jr., of Blackstone, Bishop of the | Methodist Church South, and J. Sidney | Peters of Richmond, former State pro- hibition commissioner, are being men- tloned in connection with the guber- natorial nomination. No Democratic dry leader of State-wide political promi- nence bolted the ticket and therefore the number of candidates from the former Democratic alignment is limited. The Democrats are in a quandary about the State election and will en- deavor to limit, as far as possible, the number of candidates for the nomina, tion for State offices. R. L. C. BARRETT.
