Expected State Will Poll Small Vote
Suffrage Restrictions.

RICHMOND. Va, November There Is
no question that the state will go demo-
cratic overwhelmingly on the presidential
ucket. IT is conceded on all sides. The
only congressional contest is in the ninth
district.
Both sides claim it, but IT will be very
close, with the chances in favor of the
democrats. No one on either side in an.
thority will give figures. In all parts of the
state the vote will be comparatively small,

State for Roosevelt by 10000.

A final review of the situation will induce
the belief in the minds of the unprecedented
observer that the state will give it's cleo
toral vote to Roosevelt and Fairbanks by a
plurality of not less than 10000 will also
elect the republican state ticket and give
that party working majority in both
branches of the general assembly. 1t was
possible today to hear all sorts of estimates.
Some made by tolerably reliable campaign
ers declared that the republican majority
would exceed 10000, and not a few demo-
cratic observers stood ready to grant the
state to their opponents on the basis of
plurality of 1000.
Word came to republican headquarters
yesterday that in keeping with his pledge
to carry Indiana, Taggart had unblush-
ingly Embossed the largest corruption fund
ever distributed in the state. II re-
ported that he had distributed a total of
$4,000. and from interviews with various
county chairmen who called on the national
chairman yesterday ii Is evident that this
figure cannot be far wrong. Fort Wayne
alone was allowed $4,000 for use in the
city itself. 1t was asserted, however, that
republican money also was plentiful.

For folly and laughter; for glitter and glare;

The pace that kills, the tempter's snare
That's why Women Sin."
The NJ. W. Taylor Amusement Company
presented at the Opera House last night the
society melodrama, "Why Women Sin" to
large audience. The play deals with the same
old story of mans best friend poisoning the
wife's mind against her husband in ORDER to
accomplish the wOman's disgrace. The drama
last night was presented in a thoroughly ar,
tistic manner, the scenery used was beautiful
and good. smooth performance given. The
sctine of Fred Allyn, as Charles Wadsworth,
and Adelaide Wagner, as Dorthy Pembertono,
was par excellence; Neil Florence, Fannie Fannie
deserve much credit, especially the, last
named. The comedy lines were in the hands
of II. S. Redmond and +. NJ; bo9iden' WIZ
handled their parts excellently. There were
many stirring scenes in the play and the APP
plause was liberal. The opinion given was

French Claimants.

During the past few weeks several
people in this city, including Mayor
Simpson. have received letters from
T,4ace asking Information of one Frank
Gaudin. The correspondents say that
Gaudin came to Alexandria in 1860 and
later opened drug store here. While
the civil war was in progress Gaudin
enlisted in Battery B, U. S. artillery,
and, according to the writers of the let
tiers, died here in 1865. The parties
who send the letters say he left snug
sum of money, which escheated to the
State of Virginia, and they are anxious
to institute proceedings by which the
heirs can recover the same. Mayor
Simpson, in replying TO the letters ne re-
ceiyed, informed his correspondents that
the War Department at Washington was
the proper place TO address these letters.
No one hereabouts has any recollection
of a man bearing the name OF Gaudln
conducting a drug store in Alexandra
in 1860, although an old citizen says ne
was acquainted with man during the
late war who bore that name
1t is probable that Gaudin, after
becoming a soldier, was an attache
of one of the hospitals here and later ne
may have sold proprietary medicines in
this city, as many places OF business
existed in different parts of Alexandria
during the war which failed toattract the
attention of our people at the time. The
last estate that escheated to Virginia
from this section was that of james Hill
ton. an Englishman, who died near
Four-mile run in 1871. He was a book
