more research needed
I came across this article and copyedited a section. However, I don't have time to do the research needed. What's odd is that William Mahone, for whom Glass first worked, was known first as a Confederate General (perhaps responsible for some of the slaughter at the Battle of the Crater near Petersburg), then as a postwar politician known for his relatively lenient treatment of freedman. I don't know if Glass' father moved to Petersburg to help Mahone as a publisher, but Petersburg was one of Mahone's strongholds. Mahone became a U.S. Senator from Virginia after the very politically messy 1876 Presidential Election led to the Compromise of 1877 and withdrawal of federal troops from the South. Nearly four decades after the Civil War (and a couple of decades after Glass became Lynchburg's sole newspaper publisher), Glass led the campaign at Virginia's 1902 constitutional convention which severely restricted voting rights of African Americans and poor whites. I'm not sure if Mahone's political organization could be called a political machine, but the 1902 convention led to the creation of a Democratic political machine which by the 1950s was named for U.S. Senator Harry F.

Election history
•Fixed James S. Cowden to James S Cowdon. Several contemporary sources misspelled his name, however, it should be Cowdon. Also, he was not a Republican. He ran under his own 'Pantocratic' party, but was often listed as an independent. --Swetgamer (talk) 22:07, 20 December 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swetgamer (talk • contribs) 10:13, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
