There Was much discussion as to s
When and how cider became intoxi-
eating. Senator Hart came up with
1he solution that the only way to pre-
vent the sale of Intoxicating cider IS
to cut down the apple trees.
In reply Senator King said that he
mad no intention to cripple the legiti-
mate cider industry and that his hill
would not. But in any case the mor-
ais OF the people presented Il higher
ground OF consideration than the fruit
or the cider interests.
Opponents Of the bill pointed out that

hurt the trade. Letters and
kilograms were presented from fruit

apple juice or cider!

"There have never, in my opinion =
said Mr. Ellyson, been two fairer
contests for state offices in Virginia
than the only two general primaries
we have had-those of 1905 and 1909.
Both aroused sharp antagonisms, and
yet 1t is notable that the total vote
cast in these primaries and the vote
given the Democratic party in the en-
suing general elections did not vary
1000 votes. The party was not de-
moralized by these primaries. There
was not a single appeal from a single
precinct. Mr. Meredith. of Richmond,
charged that some precincts which
We're not opened returned votes. When|
the names of these precincts were
asked, Mr.. Meredith did not give them. |
Doubtless some precincts We're not
opened But might as well complain !
that the counties of Gloucester and |
Dickinson did not make any return
in the general election for the Office
of Lieutenant 1t was sim
ply a mistake.
1T is of vital Importance repeated
Mr.. Ellyson, that the local commit
tees select the judges.
Elections Arc Fair.
There is, of course. no perfect plan.
But | believe that the Democratic
party In Virginia has fairer elections

AS to the limitation OF expenses, Nh.
Ellyson said he was In favor of hav-
ing the counties and cities pay the
cost of judges and clerks OF election.
Then, he thought. the State Committee
could take $1,000 and pay all other ex-
penses of q general primary. Il fa-

Mr.. Ellyson, to direct and control the
