Republicans Name Candidate in Virginia District Convention
In Alexandria on Monday afternoon Republicans of the ninth Virginia congressional district will convene to nominate a candidate for representative. Among potential contenders are Park Agnew who says he is out of politics, White Joseph L Crapper who resists the honor, J A Egghorn of Culpepper, and Frank T Evans of Alexandria. The Eighth district is heavily Democratic, making a GOP nomination unlikely, though the winning ticket often preserves party organization in the area.
