State Chairman J. Taylor EIlyson
offers some comforting predictions in
the campaign statement he has just
issued in connection with the Demo
cratic fights for Congress in Virginia.
He expresses the belief that the Dem
ocrats will carry all of the ten dis
tricts in the State, and commends the
party workers for their activity in the
Fifth and Ninth Districts.
~ Mr.. EllySOn. in his statement, says:
4 THE campaign in Virginia is draw

Ever. venture TO predict that Vir-
&Sfnia viii have ten Democrats to rep
resent her in the next Congress. In
seven of our congressional districts
there has been either no opposition.
or such as did not require special at
tenticn. 1t is not strange therefore
that the Ninth, Fifth and Second Dis
fricts were those in which the most
interest centered.
In the Second the contest was over
the nomination. There had been much
feeling aroused, but the nomination of
Senator e. Z. Holland has happily
healed all differences, and his oppon-
entS for the nomination are giving him
most loyal and active support, leaving
no doubt as to his triumphant cleo
tion.
I'm the Fifth District the campaign
has been conducted r.sost skilfully and
IN manner most creuita BILE to Oul
party managers. The last four weeks
have witnessed an activity and az
ever-increasing interest in the fortunes
OF our Democratic nominee that vii

ful to our friends in other districts
who have gone into the Fifth AID

and powers of speech to further t!.a
efforts of Judge Saunders in the
prosecution Of his campaign.
But il is upon the contest In the
Z Ninth District however, that the
largest share of attention has been
bestowed. The Democratic leaders OF
that district, and indeed of the whole
i5tate, realized the Importance of Sc
'Secting a strong candidate and maxi

n the election of a Democratic Con-
or essman. but because of the good

SMALL BOARD OF
FmREEH0LOERs IS
PEOPLES CHOICE
New Civil Service Law Also Res
ceiyes Overwhelming SUPP
port of Voters.

Both the civil service law and small
Board of Freeholders questions were
favored in nearly every municipality
in the county. While the vote on
neither question was very large. the
voters showed more interest in the
civil service question. In the city thu
vote for adopting the civil service ques-
ton for the city was 1856 TO 11,Ssf.
The city favored the adoption of the
system in the county by practically
the same vote; the figures are 1880
to 11,579. Throughout the county the
vote favored the adoption of the sys-
tenn, q. s44 to 1878.
On the new Board of Freeho1ders
question the city favored the system
by a vote of 4.629 to $3.50, ard through
out the county the system was IA
vored by a vote of 23,121 to 14.So7.
View Board VIII Have Big Results.
The adoption of a small board Of free
holders will mean a big change in coun-
ty affairs. The new system viii go
into effect in January, 1912. Those free-
holders chosen at this election will not
serve out their terms. AT the general
election held next November the new
board viii be elected. three members
to serve three years. three to serve two
years and the remaining three for one
year. They will organize on the first
Monday in January, 1912. The salaries
for the members of the new board win
be S1,500 d year.
The probable reason for the small
vote on the proposition of submitting a
small Board of Freeholders was thu
manner in which the question was
placed on the ballot. Had the question
been put in the usual for" and
against" instead of putting the ques-
ton in favor Of and against" the
vote would have been larger. Many
voters who did not understand the
question as it was put did not vote On
them at all for fear of making their
ballots entirely void.
