AS the general election to be held
In this city tomorrow approaches,
more and moro interest attaches to the
contest in the Third Ward, where
Nlcssrs w. II. Hart and Mark r. Lloyd
Will oppose each other for office
They are popular, and the contest
will be close. The following circular
letter to voters Is being sent out by
Mr.. Lloyd:
t."sTo the Voters OF Third Ward:
con May, 9TH a primary was held to
designate certain candidates for the
general election OF June 9th. On May
slStl, acting under advice OF the city
Attorney, the City Clerk advised the
Judge of the Corporation Court that a
vacancy existed In the City Assembly
from tho Third Ward, and requested
that 4. special election be ordered to
fill same. On May 1ith--scven days
after the primary-tre Judge enteted
an order directing that a special cleo
ton be held.
"For the reason that on May 10th
the applications OF Candidates w. -.
Hart and Mark II. Lloyd to I'LL said
vacancy were filed with the clerk OF
the Corporation Court. their names
alone may appear on the official pallot.
"Can pledge to support a candida !,
In general election bind voter 20
support him In a. special election, ar
forwards ordered, on the ballot OF
which his name could not nave ap-
.peared unless he filed special ap2llca-
ton for same?"
Down on City Committee.
There is considerable feeling against
the City Democratic Committee on ac-
count OF the methods alleged to have
been employed by that body In placing
THE name of Mr.. Hart in nomination.
Hart is naturally backed by the Gen.
tra1 Committee, which is fighting for
him solidy.
1T should be explained that the pop
ular dissatisfaction exists principally
against the Democratic Central Com
mittee and not against Its nominee.
A large number OF voters believe that
Hart was nominated illegally by the
committee, for which reason great
many voters in the ward scratched him
in the prlmary-the total number be-
ing as. They held that the committee
had acted beyond its authority, that
Harris name should not have appear
ed on the ballot. and that. this being
true. he could not properly be con-
sidered a nominee In the general cleo
ton.
This view, it is commended is
strengthened by the action OF Judge
Clopton. who. on May l4th. seven days
after tho primary, ordered special
election to be held in the Third Ward
on June 9th to fill the vacancy in the
City Assembly from that ward occa-
stoned by the death of Mr.. c. C. Cox.
This action is said to have been
taken by Judge Clopton after he had
been notified in writing on May 18th
that the vacancy existed, which notice
is alleged to have been made at the
instance Of the City Attorney.
There are many voters who further
argue that they can in no manner be
considered "bolters" when they contend
that they are not bound by pledge

Mr.. Toney on Bridge Question.
With reference to the prospective

with Manchester, Councilman ID. j..
Toney gave out the following state
ment yesterday:
"Regarding the free bridge between
ttis city and Richmond at or near the
present Mayos Bridge site, I would
say without any hesitation whatever,
that / believe 1t s a matter OF the
greatest Importance to both cities, and
I cannot possibly see that eny reasonable
objections can be raised. Rich

featuring sites, and Manchester has

fcrred many more years. in my juds :
ment traffic between the two cities
will necessarily have to be abandoned,
as the life of both bridges seems to be
nearing the end. II bridge should
be constructed it should by all means
be up to date. both wide and strong.
SO that congestcd travel. such as exists
on the Free Bridge to-day, would not
occur within fifty years. and that there
might be no more restrictions regard.

I believe that large majority or the

lighted to see our municipal bodies
