the opinion that said election WAS success. 1
deem il best 10 try that system again, and re-
specially request that Il primary election be
held at all tho voting precincts in the county,
and also at Barbee's Gross Roads, Delaplane,
Waterloo, Liberty, Catletts station and Elk

fol the purpose of nominating two Conservative

In accordance with the usage of the party, it
is understood one candidate will be nominated

The voting will be ballot and the two candi-
