ton, has addressed the following letter
10 every voter In Alexandria:
Dear Sir: The Democratic executive

their benalf.
party are Charles Q. Cariin for Con-
gress. r. z. Thornton for State senator.
and James r. Cation for member Of
the house OF delegates. In view OF the
active campaign being made by the can

these offices, It Is essential to success
that every Democratic voter take a per-
sonal interest il the contest.
1T is dangerous 70 undeTrate the
strength OF the adversary. and not in
frequently inattention and @eglect on
the part OF voters make the success OF
the opposing party possible. 1t Is i'm
portaat in this, as Ia every contest, that
every Democratic voter should take an
active interest In the campaign, and
that he should vote on the day OF cleo
JiOn for the nominee or his party, and
50 far as possible see that ais nelgnDOTS
and friends do likewise. Your executive
committee therefore begs 70 urge upon
every Democratic voter TO become ac-
lively Interested in the success Of the
Democratic ticket, and TO bear IN mind
that the election will take place on the
5th Of November, and 20 be sure that bis
ballot ls deposited Tor Lne nominees OF
the party. The candidates Of the party
snouId be elected by an OYerwhel ming
majority but this cannot be accom-
pHshed unless the Democratic voters
take an active interest IN the campaign.

the day Of election for the nominees OF
