WALSH ON HIS PARTY.
Nationally Prominent Democrat Says
Local Democrats Not Organized.

'tThe almost entire lack of organi-
cation among the democrats of Wap-
clio county is the principal cause for
the overwhelming defeat which was
visited upon the democrats at Tues
days election The republicans, on
the other hand, were organized and
from early in the morning until the
minute the polls were closed they
were constantly working for the sue
cess of their ticket"
Thus Charles A. Walsh, secretary
of the national democratic committee
erstwhile prophesier of election re-
suits, never-daunted democrat and ex-
perienced politician, summed up the
excuse, or the lack of excuse, for the
landslide which placed in Office with
overwhelming majorities every can
didate on the republican county ticket.
He was in conversation with friend
when he gave expression to the state.
ment. He also mentioned the fact that
in the fourth ward that there was no
poll book and no checker for the dem
ocrats during about two hours of the
day when the election board was very
busy!Th is not like the work usual
" done by the democrats in this city
and Mir. Walsh. like many other mem
bers OF the partw, who remember the
way in which elections were handled
in former years is rather chagrined
apparently by the showing made
against the party OF his choice.
