AS well known a body OF six Bryan sup
porters have been already selected to be
present at each of the polling places at the
primary election April 10. 1t Is the custom
in the local democratic party to hold such
elections in the evening instead of having
the polls open all day as the republican
system provides. The polls are usually open
two or three hours. This gives any persons
interested in the voting a chance to keep
close scrutiny on the voters. 1t is the in
tention of the Bryan democrats, 1t Is I'M
derstood. to assign three of the six repre-
sentatives at each polling place to the sole
duty of counting the number of voters who
present themselves at the polls, and thus
ascertain just how many did so, taking no
account of their preferences how they
voted. The three representatives not thus
engaged will do the usual work Of handing
out tickets to prospective voters, buttonhOl-
ing them and using the other means and
methods to influence their votes usual on
such occasions. The counters when the
polls are closed, will compare their tally
slips and the least number shown on each
unless there is such wide divergence in
the three as to make a mistake apparent

that the number of persons presenting
thereto.
In case more ballots are found in the
boxes than there were persons counted go
ing TO the polls the affidavits of the watch
ers will be used as evidence to show such a
discrepancy
1t is understood that each ballot of the
Bryan democrats will bear in bold-faced
type the announcement, For an Instructed
delegation from the District of Columbia
to the democratic national convention"
meeting of Bryan democrats will be
held at Brightwood Hall tomorrow night.
The speakers Will be Representatives Rob-
inson Of Nebraska. Rhea of Kentucky
Jones of Virginia and Mr. Blair Lee OF

When F. C. Whitney and Edwin

who witness the performance will have
the satisfaction of knowing that apart

dramatization of the great romance in
terpreted as it will be by one of the
best companies on the American stage,
they will have a rich treat in store for
them in a feast of colour and In beau
tiful stage pictures which the scenic art
list, D. Frank Dodge. has conceived and
which were painted from the designs by
the artists of the Adelphi theater, Lon
don, England. Thus, theatergoers may
look forward with assurance to a rare
dramatic treat in the forthcoming pro-
duction of "Quo Vadis." The story of
the love of Petronius and Eunice, Vini-
cius and Lygia, so familiar through the
pages Of the novel, not only hold forth
all the dramatic possibilities that the
mos texacting appetite for theatrical
dainties could desire, but it shows a
contrast between the spiritual life OF
the pagan and that of the believer in
Christianity. This production seemed
to have met with more success than has
been recorded of any play in years.
