POLITICS IN POMPEU.

4 study of the walls and billbOards
that took the place of newspapers in
Pompeii, over 1900 years ago. shows
that not only was the ward politics
of the city astonishingIy like that of
modern elections, with ward meet
ingss primaries and appeals for can
didates, but that the Pompeiians were
actually in the midst of hot po-
htical campaign when in A. d. 10
the city was destroyed by the erup-
ton of Vesuvius.
We have it upon competent au-
thority that the city had a thorough
ly equipped machine" says Harpers
Weekly. Political clubs were num-
erous. Municipal elections were held
once a year and any citizen was at
liberty to run for office. His inten-
ton to do so was made known by
his friends posting his name on the
billboards and walls about the city.
We know that one Titus Gemarius
a baker, who had a shop on a corner
with a side wall running back along
an alley, made handsome thing by
renting it for bulletin boards.
After a candidates name had been
posted for some time he could ascer-
tain readily whether he stood any
chance of winning. If he saw that
he did not, he went to the chief Sc
lectmen and asked to have his name

The system of wards and primary
elections was practically the same as
that followed in many American cit
les today. The electors chosen at the
primaries met at the Forum on cleo
ton day to deposit their ballots and
fell into line as men do at the yolls
now. There were three judges of
elections and each candidate was
permitted to station one of his own
men at the ballot box, to see that
no intimidation was practised.
The ballot box was very closely
watched. a fact which seems to show
that ballot box stUffing was not I'M
known even then. The candidate
who carried majority of the wards
was elected.
The Pompeiians ''whooped it up
for their candidates in the true mod
ern style. Thus the Late TOpers,
club which had it's headquarters
opposite the Forum, announced its
preferences on a billboard as follows:
1.-The Late Topers beg their friends
to vote for Marcus Lavinus Vatia
for Aedile.''

From time immemorial it has been !.
the aim of the buyer to get his goods

would be, we're not competition a fac

pends also on the forethoughJ and

in his decision in the case of the First
National Bank of Richmond against
the Virginia Railway and Power Com
pany. The lower court held that the
bank had a lien upon bonds of the
power company amounting to $4,000

secure loan of $4,000 to the Virginia
Passenger and Power Company. Sew
eral payments We're made upon the
note, reducing the power company's in
debtedness to the bank 10 about $4,000.

lions. the bank last spring notified the
officers of the railway that 1t would
sell the bonds TO satisy the balance
due. An Injunction was applied for
in the Circuit Court, and Judge Wad-
dill ruled that the bank had a lien up
on the security. This decision was
sustained yesterday by the higher
court.
