clever reader of great versatility, whose
recitals have proved great artistic and
financial successes
Miss Holstein is pianist Of talent,

brilliant technique were at all times evil

A Noted Vocal Teacher Coming to Richmond
Will be at the Richmond Conserva-
tory of Music September 18th.

After continued invitations on the part
of His pupils and the school, who have
labored increasingly to have Mr.. David
E. Francis back in this city, to take up
his work. which he so admirably and sue
cessfully carried on last winter while here
as tenor soloist OF the First Baptist
Church, he has agreed to assume charge
OF the Vocal Department at the Conserva-
tory on September 18th.
Professor Francis's long experience as
teacher fits him admirably for his work
Those who were fortunate enough to have
his proficient instruction last year are his
advertisements, and it is mainly through
them that he will be brought back again.
But few knew OF his being here as a
teacher through the last season, because
OF his work at the First Baptist Church,
which required most Of his time while
here.
Mr.. Francis is especially endowed with
the ability to demonstrate the natural
tone production, and is able to overcome
the most difficult conditions Of ones
voice, having proved his ability with some
of his pupils who were regarded as back
numbers.
Aside from the regular private lessons,
the school will offer special inducements

CALL COMMITTEE

Primary Vote to Be Canvassed
and Norfolk County Contest
Decided.

For the purpose of canvassing the
oficial returns of the late primary
election for members of the United
States Senate and declaring the nomi-
nees. and OF hearing the report OF the
subcommittee appointed to investigate
the Norfolk county contest, the State
Democratic Committee will meet next
Tuesday night. September &c. State
Chairman j. Taylor Ellyson and Secre-
tary ]. n. Brenaman sent out the
call yesterday. The hour is S o'clock,
and the place the assembly hall OF
Murphys Hotel.
1t is expected that on this occasion
a large number of members of the
committee Will be present The mere
personnel of candidates for county
Offices in Norfolk is not considered i'm
portant. but II is expected that the
report of the investigating body will
also deal with the whole question OF
the alleged fusion between Democrats
and Republicans
The subcommittee is composed of
William NJ. McAllister of Bath CHAIR
mani; Irving +. Whitehead. of AM
o. Humphries, OF Bedford, and Manly
il. Barnes Of New Kent
The contestants claim that fusion
has been shown. and that there was a
good deal OF irregular voting In the
June primary. On the other hand the
contestees assert that nothing has
been proven which could affect the
result of the primary. Admitting that
fusion has existed in the past they
deny that there is anything of the
kind now save in the minds of indi-
vidual voters.
Probably the State Committee will
also be called upon to decide the con
test between a. j. Taylor and John
rutherford for the House of Dele
gates from Goochland and Fluvanna

REPUBLICANS ARE
OUT FOR PRIMARy
Up in Rockingham They De-
clare for Compulsory Legal
lied Plan.

Coming at time when Democratic
conventions in the Southside and
southwest are adopting resolutions
condemning the primary system Of
making party nominations, the action
OF the Republicans OF Rockingham
county In declaring in convention for
direct, legalized primary, caused no
end OF talk in Richmond political cir

dering II It is only local game. or
whether there is TO be a new deal.
Republicans have never before shown
any liking FOR primaries.
The Harrisonburg convention wec,
sun further and declared for primar-
les compulsory upon all parties II
was against this part of the Byrd pri-
mary bill in the last Legislature that
the most criticism was lcveled. espec-
ially from Republicans who said they
did not want to be forced into prl-
maries against their will.
The convention nominated John
Paul. head of one faction in Seventh
District Republicanism. for the State
Senate in opposition to George y.
Conrad. the Democratic nominee. Geo
y. Farman. of Penn Laird. and DR.. W.
f. Payne. OF Dayton. were named for

The plank in the platform relating
to primaries Is as follows:
Believing that the ballot primary
is the ideal method of making nomina-
lions for all Offices. that IL is the pre-
ventive of trickcry and manipulation
at the hands OF the bosses and rings
OF all parties. we pledge our nominees
for the Senate and House OF Delegates,
IL elected TO work and vote for such
