Sign of things to come >GOP retains 2 House seats By JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press Writer TOLEDO, Ohio - Republicans maintained control of both congressional seats that were up for grabs in special elections Tuesday in Ohio and Virginia, disappointing Democrats who had hoped to extend their gains in the House. In Ohio, a state representative defeated a Democrat making her third run for the seat. And in Virginia, a first-term state legislator easily won. Both elections were to fill seats left vacant by deaths. Jo Ann Davis, who had represented a southeastern Virginia district for seven years, died of breast cancer in October. Rep. Paul Gillmor, first elected in a northwest Ohio district in 1988, died in a fall in September. The winners of both races will complete the terms of Gillmor and Davis. Democrats, who won control of the House last year 233-202, had hoped to benefit from the low turnout typical of special elections.<
