Probably the very new housewife
will find The embarrassing and wool
c~n-clcansing of springtirne about the
most serious trial that she has en-
countered. 1t may be that a question
of economy will make it necessary to
have this work done at home, and even
the most trusted "llelp" OF the expert
cnced waSherWOman will not always
give this particular work the proper
care. unless her mistress understands
the best methods of accomplishing the
dreaded task. 1t is not so difficult,
after all, to have tie blankets washed

The Joint democratic convention
representing Accomac and Elizabeth
city counties. reassembledat Parksley
Tuesday and declared E. E. Monta-
que, of Hampton, the nominee of the
party for Bouse of Delegates from
the two counties by vote of twenty
one to eight.
Mr. S. Gordon Cummings was
present, with protest against the
manner in which the primary election
was held in Elizabeth city, and SUBJ
mitted his reasons for not entering
the primary but failed to convince
the majority of the delegates from
Accomac that he had any real cause
for complaint. Briefly summed up,
the vote cast at the primary for Mon
tague, more than a majority of all
the democratic votes of Elizabeth
City county, and the unsustained
charges made by Cummings against
the Executive Committee of Eliza
beth City seemed to indicate that
Cummings was not in the race at the
primary, because he could not get
enough votes to secure the endorse
ment of the democratic voters of his
county.

Election day is now near at hand,
only two weeks off next Tuesday,
and, while there is no danger we be
lieve. of Hoge Tyler being defeated
by Pat McCaull, it is we'll for the dem
ocratic voters of the Eastern Shore
to be reminded of the day and their
duty to vote however remote the
danger may seem TO be. That he will
be elected together with the other
democratic nominees for Lieut-Gov-
ernor and Attorney-General, we GER
tainly have no reason to doubt, but
every democratic voter should be
willing to contribute to the demo-
cratic victory by his vote whether it
is needed or not. The right of suffrage
is one OF. the greatest perogatives of
American citizenship, but there is no
need of the privilege if it is not exer
cised and it loses all of its dignity
and glory, if pride in its possession is
not felt Our vote may not be need
ed at times but a proper exercise Of
the privilege is never without gooo
results. 1t keeps us in good trim for
real fight when one occurs and we
avoid surprises which through ara-
thy sometimes fall to us and which
seems likely to overrtss;Sne some Of our
G.. .. iSa1da tes for the Legislature at this
election. 1t might be even that Ac-
comac could be so remiss in her duty
as to cause the defeat of Mr.. Monta-
que, though it is not likely that such
will be the case. lie lives in repub
lican county though, and one thing is
certain, that he needs our votes and
to avoid all risk in the n after it is
better to give him all of them. In
any event we make no mistake in
casting our votes, whether they are
needed or not, and it is not only the
privilege but the duty of every dem
ocratic voter to be at the polls in
November.
