varied hues and shapes-its mix

bad textures and nualities-may
well be termed crazy quilt ticket.
1t has beennchristened by it's Boss THE
Citizens Ticket" and yet. the imam and

1t. This is singular. indeed. when 1t Is
reme mbered, that in the flush of the
fraudulent prohibition victory" this
man and brother and American citizen"
of the fifteenth amendment was honored
by being appointed to take the places Of
poor white men. who We're removed from

ment for no other crime than that they
called themselves Democrats. F.
Mr., e. a. Outten and Mr.. e. E. Guy,
respectively, selected as candidates for
the Mayorality and City Sergeant, are
gentlemen of irreproachable' character,
who have been pronounced in their De-
mocracy. even when the Democratic
party of Norfolk was faced with the
misgivings and misconducts of officials

whose leaders are fanatics and Phari-
sees, and whose organizat ton is as much
the creation of n Boss and 4 Ring as ever
municipal politics was cursed with.
The crazy quilt ticket is in the field,
and the issue Is to be met. The Demo-
cratic party OF Norfolk will meet 1t,
and with a ticket that will be the choice
of the voters of the party, free from the
crack of whip or the command of
boss. Every evidence points to united
party in the lines of real reform-so
that the people will have every guaran-
tee of an honest, patriotic. progressive
and economical administration of af-
fairs. The party proposes to organize

scouting and proscriptive oligarchy.

No time to waste on scorn,
