SCRATCH ALL nut LAMB.

In making out your ballot to-day don't
forget to vote Tor John Lamb Cor Con-
gress.
To do this scratch out al the other
names of candidates for Congress. Now,
don't forget-under the heading OF candi-
dates for Congress erase all names but
Lambs. Run your pencil or pen entirely
through every name but Lambs.
II is feared that many voters. after pre-
pairing their presidential tickets. viii for
get all about voting for congressman.
Don't be one OF those stupid men. Keep
in mind that It Is your duty not only TO
sote for Bryan and Sewall but for John
Lamb also.
IL is a well-known fact that many OF
the Palmer Democrats are going 10 vote
for Lamb. They are not willing to go
back upon this lovable old Confederate
soldier-a man who viii represent our
interests in Congress intelhgenuy and
who deserves well OF all Virginians, and
especially OF all ex-Confederates.
Lamb ought not to lose single ex-
confederate's vote In tho district. and we
know OF a number OF Union veterans who
have determined to give him their sup
port as "a personal tribute to his courage.
ndeiity. and good-heartsdness.
So vote for Lamb. Scratch all the names
OF candidates for Congress except Lambs.
IL Is said that there viii be three other
rsrS"atos names: 81 so. your duty will

To-pky'S DUTY.

Are you a Democrat and voter? Yes
Well. then. you ought to hurry to the
polls this morning and record your vote
for Bryan and Sewall and John Lamb
II you love your country and your party
and your old friends. do not postpone or
neglect this duty.
There's a vast deal more in this contest
than whether or not silver shall be coined
at. 16 to !. The burning question Is
whether the people shall rule or whether
the power that belongs to the masses
shall be exercised by few great trusts
combines. and other corporations.
Talk about the danger" OF eleetlns
Bryan. why the danger will be in not
electing him. for then the popular idea
that this is a government OF the people
by the people and for the people VIII
have received n mighty shock. What
momentary disturbance IN business could
be comparable in ill-effects with the
knowledge that a President had been put
upon the people. not by the people, but by
the trusts But really no disturbance In
business need be feared II Bryan is elect
ed unless. indeed, our enemies choose
to make II.
Millions Of patriotic. order-loving, level
headed Americans have studied this ques-
ton thoroughly, and have resolved that 1t
IS their duty to support Bryan. This is
the view accepted by the mass of Vir-
ginia whites. We not only wish to win
victory for the sake Of Bryan and the
Union. but in the interest Of the preserva~
ton of order and property in our own
State. We don't want to break ranks
and yield the field to "the negroes and
their mean white allies" We want to
keep our party alignment. so that we
may carry the State next year for our
State ticket
All who are Of our mind, all who wish
the republic well, all who wish this Com
monwealth TO remain in the keeping oil
Democrats, should vote with US to-day.

At any rate, our readers must see that

Virginia is beset with the agents and

In short Bryan stock has been going
up steadily for a month past, and was
never higher than it is to-day. Our can
didate has commanded the admiration Of
the world. No other man ever made so
extensive a canvass; none ever made so
many speeches; none ever spoke so much
under such disadvantages, and made so
few blunders. Remember that the over
whelmng majority of the press has been
against him, and yet few. indeed, of the
correspondents who have been with him
have failed to pay tribute to his genius,
magnetism. and honesty.
We have a good candidate; he has made
a glorious fight; he is worthy of the
presidency, and we believe il is the
fixed purpose Of the American people TO
say by their votes to-day that the White
House shall be prepared for his occu-
pancy for the term beginning March 4,

Judge Staples, Also.

The News yesterday reprinted from the
Richmond State the pungent letter Of
Judge Burks, announcing his purpose to
heartily support Mr.. Bryan for the
presidency Another great lawyer, who
was associated with Judge Burks on the
bench of the Court Of Appeals. Is also an
ardent supporter OF the Democratic can
didate We refer 10 Judge Waller r..
Staples, who wrote. in a personal letter
TO the editor Of this paper, on October
18th, as follows:
Il have never so desired to take part in
n presidential canvass as in this; but I'M
fortunately for me | have a heart trouble.
which. in the opinion OF eminent physi-
clans, will utterly preclude me from
speaking for two or three months. The
enthusiasm and the uproar now pervading
everywhere must be very gratifying to
you, the consistent advocate Of the free
coinage Of silver through good and evil
report. Very truly yours.
WALLER II. STAPLES.
Judge Staples ranks as one of the ablest
jurists that ever sat on the bench In
Virginia. II there was in the Democratic
platform any attack upon the judiciary
no man would be more apt 10 see II or
more prompt TO condemn ii. But being
unable to discover anything Of the kind.
Judge Staples is not the man to trump up
an excuse to desert the Democratic party.

THE ELECTION Returns.

Our arrangements for securing and bull
Ietlning the returns Of to-day's elections
have been made with unusual care. and
promise extraordinary success. Use will
be made OF our own stereopticon, which
will be placed on the third floor Of the
Dispatch building and focused upon a
screen placed against the building oppo-
site, formerly occupied by the Religious
Herald. The elevation and location Of
the screen will put IT in view Of all the
people who can find standing-room on
the northern half OF Main street between
Eleventh and Thirteenth.
The Australian ballot. which has now
been adopted in nearly all Of the States,
makes the count Of votes more tedious
than II formerly was, and We cannot,
therefore. hope TO begin the bulletining
of eiection-returns as early as We could
wish; but the stereopticon exhibition
will begin promptly at 6 o'clock. and
portraits, cartoons, and other pictures
will be shown in rapid succession until
the returns are ready. Here, in Virginia,
the polls close at shutdown, which is 500.
and 1t will be at least two hours from
that time before the earliest precinct
returns can be received
The Dispatch will make its COMPARE
sons Of Democratic gains or losses with
the presidential vote Of 1892, when this
State gave Cleveland 1887 votes. Harrl-
son 1929, and Weaver 1925. Inasmuch
as the anti-Bryan strength in this State
and in the country generally is greatest
H. the cities and towns, and in the viii
lagos on the railroads and telegraph
lines. it ig to be expected that the re-
turns first received will show Democratic
losses. while the later returns. coming
from the interior and from communities
free from corporation influence. will show
Democratic gains.
This is just the reverse Of conditions
that have heretofore prevailed. In the
rast. the Democratic party was strong
est IN the North and West in the great
urban communities, and the returns from
these being the first to be received, often
raised hopes that were doomed to be de-
stroyed later on. Now. while we have
every reason to believe that Bryan will
get very large vote In the cities We
know that we are very much stronger
than the enemy in the country districts.
1t viii be well to remember these facts
tonight, and form your judgment Of the
returns accordingly For our part If our
people Will but prosecute to-day's work
with the same zeal and enthusiasm that
they have shown In the canvass for weeks
past. we cannot but believe we shall
have the happiness Of recording to-mor-
row a great victory in this city. in this
State, and in the Union-in short, we
shall have a fitting finale to the grand
est and most remarkable political canvass

A special from Berlin says that Wolff :

pies in Germany much the same field
that is filled by the United States asso-
ciated presses in America. has announced
that the election of Bryan is practically
assured. The special then goes on 10
state that "the fact that the statement
was allowed to be published at all IS
regarded in many circles as being an alb
solute evidence of the friendly feeling
which the German Government entertains
to the subject of blmetallism"; and in
conclusion says:
"The Bimetallistic League and the
Landwirthe League are already preparing
messages of congratulation to Mr.. Bryan
to be cabled as soon as the result Of the
vote next Tuesday becomes definitely
known"
This news is especially significant as
indicating the belief abroad that the
triumph of free coinage in this country
would hasten bimetallism by inter-
national agreement. And from the
proposition that this consunrnation-
international bimetallism-is devoutly
TO be wished. neither OF the great
parties in this country dlssents. 1t was

Two ordinances are to be voted on to-
day by the people Of Baltimore. One of
these ordinances authorizes the issue OF
bonds to the extent of 100000 for the
purpose Of funding the floating debt.
The other ordinance proposes TO issue
bonds to the extent OF Sl.OOO.OO0 for the
purpose of beginning the construction OF
a system of ducts or conduits, in which
are to be buried the wires of certain
electric and telegraph companies. The
