Tally sheets will be used at each pre-

under the name of the candidate for
whom he votes, with the address of each

The vigorous campaign that has been
waged by Captain John Lamb and Mr..
jefferson Wallace will bring out sub
stantial vote throughout the district and
especially In the cities of Richmond and

On account of the limited number of
candidates, and the viva voce method of
voting, it is thought that the returns
will be ascertained at an early hour to-
night. The returns from every precinct
will be sent to the City Democratic Com
mittee at the Old Market Hall, and there

where close contest is expected, to
his opponent, but he has made no state

has never expressed the slightest doubt
about carrying every county in the dis
trict. save Goochland. by handsome
majority. and his friends and workers in
this city and Manchester express no un-
easiness as to the result.
Mr.. Wallace visited the Dispatch office
last night and discussed his campaign
freely. He said. IN substance: Il am con-
vinced that will be nominated to-mor-
row. I will certainly carry both cities.
and expect to get majorities in five OF
