ELECTION BILL HEARING.
Senator Bnrksdale's Measure De

Senator Bnrksdale7s Measure De-
signed to Prevent Use of Money.
The Senate committee on privileges ard
elections made Senator Barksdale' 8
pure elections bill the special and con-
tinuing order for next Tuesday evening.
Senator Barksdale is much gratiffed at
the attitude of the committee. and is
confident that the bill will be favorably
reported by the committee and passed
by the Senate.
1t is the same bill for which he fought
so vigo. ous.y at a former session, but it
was defeated in the Senate by one vote.
The Jill attracted great attention at
the time and the Senator made vlgor-
Gus though unsuccessful fight for il.
He claims that the bill will absolutely
prevent the use OF money IN elections
and the poor man in politics can have a
chance.
He is confident that the bill will ele-
vate the political tone in the Common
wealth and place politics on purer and
higher plane, one worthy of the best ira
dltons Of the State.
The bill is stringent In its provisions
and makes forfeiture of the nomination
the penalty in the event of proving that
money was used by candidate for a
nomination in a primary, or by his
friends in his behalf with his knowledge.
1T applies not only to party primaries,
but TO general elections as well.

CAMPBELL CASE SLEEPS.
Not Likely to Come Up In Legislature
Soon, If Ever.


Soon, If Ever.
Nothing more has been heard of thu
Campbell matter. which was referred to
the House committee. The committee has
made no report on it yet. nor has it taken
up the resolutions on the subject referred
to it. The impression is growing that
nothing more will be heard of the mat
ter. certainly for some time. 1t is doubt
full If it will ever come before the House.
The Norfolk contest is set for next
Tuesday before the House Committee on
Privileges and Elections Whether tn
case will be fought out remains to be
seen. The record in the case is volumi.
nous. and it would require a. great deal
of time if the committee went into the
case in detail. The sitting members
N1essrs. Whitehead and Woodward-are
not at all disturbed at the prospect Of
the contest. Messrs. Lambeth and Bibh
are the contestees In the case. Mr.. Lar.
beth is son Of Rev. S. S. Lambeth. D
D., for whom he was named. He wa:
elected city attorney of Norfolk by tn
Prohibition-Reform element during tn
movement there about ten years ago in
which Rev Sam Small was the leader.
At that time Mr.. Lambeth was quite
young man just out of college.
The House Committee on Agriculture
and Mining yesterday reported adversely
the bill of Delegate Folkes providing fol
a semi-monthly payday for employees
OF mines and manufactures and designed
to prevent extortion in prices charged b.
coumissaries or company stores. One
provision of the bill is that such stores
shall not sell at a higher prces than
other stores. The adverse report on the
bill does not end the matter. however
for Delegate Folkes yesterday gave notice
that he would call the bill up in the
House and fight it to a finish. With al
adverse committee report as a handicap.
the bill stands small chance of enact
nlent.
