FORECAST OF PRIMARY

The Richmond Times Dispatch OF
yesterday published an exhaustive
poll ofthe State as possible forecast
OF Thursdays Democratic Primary,
secured from it's several hundred
correspondents in the various Sec
tions of the State. The result OF
the poll indicates the nomination of
Hon. Fl. St.George Tucker over Judge
William Hodges Mann by a small
majority. Fifty-six of the one hun
dred counties in the State are for
Tucker, against forty-two for Mann,
with two in doubt. OF the twenty
cities, eleven are reported for Tuck
er and eight for Mann, with one in
doubt.
The Times Dispatch several weeks
ago sent out to its hundreds
OF correspondents in the State
a letter, requesting that an i'm
partial forecast of the result be
sent to that Office not later than
August LIST. Every city and county
in the State was heard from, and in
many instances several reports were
received from the different cities
and counties. When this was the
case, the majority opinion was
adopted as the basis for the forecast.
Rockbridge (Mr. fuckers home
county, and Buena Vista are placed
in the Tucker column.

BALLOT Without Pledge Invalid


State Chairman J. Taylor Ellysor
has rendered an opin on in which
he holds that any one scratching
the pledge on the ticket to be voted
in the Democratic Primary tomor-
row will invalidate the ticket, and
the judges of election cannot count
the ballot. This opinion was given
in response to request from the Sec
rotary OF County Democratic Com
mittee.
The pledge is to be printed on the
primary ballot by order of the State
Executive Committee. In some Sec
tons of the State reports were in
circulation that many voters had ex-
pected to eliminate the pledge by
scratching it from their ballot. In
the light of Chairman Ellyson's |
opinion this cannot be done. Should
any Democrat do so his vote would |
be thrown out and not counted.
The decision by Chairman Ely
son is very important to every Sec
ton of the State, and it is believed
that in consequence many voters
will be kept away from participat-
ing in the primary. In many in
stances local conditions are such
that the voters are un willing to take
chances in obligating themselves to
vote for candidates whom they are
unwilling to support.
