ndidates Required to Pay $500 to
Enter Primary to go to
Norfolk.

The City Democratic committee
which held a meeting last night at
Rammel's Hotel to make arrange
ments for the representation of Alex
andria at the State Democratic conven
ton to be held in Norfolk, on May %,
nipped the aspirations of some OF the
politicians in the bud when they de-
cided that an entrance fee of So would
be necessary to participate in the prl-
mary to select the delegates. AS the
delegates are required to pay their
own expenses it is not thought that
there will be a heavy rush OF candl-
dates who will be willing to put up
S. to enter the race.
The date for the primary was set
for May Is. The hours for the pri'
mary were fixed from 3 to Z p. m
Candidates desiring to enter the prl'
mary must submit their names to the
secretary of the Democratic commit
tee on or before noon Monday, May
13, and said names must be accom-
panied by a check Off S. to cover the
cost incident to the expenses which
will be incurred in holding the pri
mary. The present Judges and clerk:
it was decided, will be employed tt
serve for the primary.
Alexandria will be represented a.
Norfolk by twelve delegates, having
one vote each. In the event thai
there are only twelve candidates the
primary will of course be called off.

POLICE TO WEAR GAPS.
Commissioners Decide on New Head
Gear for Members of Police
Department.

Within a few days the police force
of Alexandria will don their new sum-
mer uniforms and among the changes
to be noted will be the neat peaked
caps which have been adopted by near
ly all of the cities of the country in
stead of the oldstyle helmet which
originally were imported from Eng
land where there are part of the
costume of the London bobby"
The change was decided at a called
meeting of the board of police COM
missioners last night, when it was de-
cided to adopt cap for the policemen
for summer, similar to caps worn by
members of the Washington police de-
partment.
This will be a substitute for the old
style helmets formerly worn during
the summer months by the members.
Mayor Paff explained to the board
that he had examined caps in Washing
ton similar to those now used by the
Washington policemen and found that
they weighed five and one-half ounces
and cost $1.6O while the metal shield
cost IS cents.
Mayor Paff was instructed to pro-
cure sample cap, which will be ex-
amined by the members of the board
at it's meeting Wednesday night next.
Commissioner Bryan asked if City
Council had taken any action on the
resolution of the board asking for the
| appointment of the three sergeants
in conformity with the recent change
| in the city charter. made at the last
session of the legislature. 1t was eX-
planned that this matter could not, un-
der the law, become operative until
| ninety days after the adjournment OF
the legislature which will be about
June Is. However, city council has
done nothing in the matter except to
refer the resolution to committee and
the committee has not yet passed on
the matter, it was explained.

SCARCITY OF LABOR

river front are making their regu-

labor. Able bodied men, white and
coIored, remain in the city during the
winter months, but upon the advent
of mild weather leave Alexandria for
other cities. Many others, who are
opposed to work on general principles,
remain idle during the summer sea-
son. Merchants and others have their
business handicapped from this unfor-
tunate state of affairs.

NEFARIoUs SCHEME,

The Democratic State platform CALI
for abolishment of the present mine
guard system and the establishment
OF a Slate constabulary system undei
control of the State.
The inference is that leading mem
bers of the Democratic State machine
whose mine corporations employ
guards want the State to pay Fol
guarding their mines. 1t is expensive
to keep guards and doubtless 1t woult
be very pleasing 10 these companie.
TO unload %he burden of their cost OF
the people. How about the people
VIII they stand for 1t? They will
have to stand for i; II they elect 1,
Democratic Legislature.
There Is another Vital feature about
the plank. 1t pertains TO labor trou
bles. 1t Is evident that the Demo,
cratic State machine plans to have
the State maintain all army OF consta.
bulary for the purpose OF fighting tho
battle of the coal companies of the
state machine against labor strikers.
1t Is no wonder that the Democratic
convention should have denounced the
guard system and declared for a state
constabulary. That convention dc.
Used plan to make State troops a
working part OF the coal companies
and thereby forcing the latter TO
light for the coal companies at the
States expense instead Of occupying
the position OF the presnt national
suard that of trying 10 re.estabIlsn
peace.
Again, why should the State single
out a single industry to guard? Why
is the farmer in peaceful pursuit no,
entitled TO as much military protcc.
lion as any other class of citIzensY

iacturcr, the stockman. the shocmak.
