Despite the interest manifested in !,

the record breaking vote and the I'm +.
usual number Of workers who throng-
there was very little aftermath to the
event, rs important as II was. Rich
mond Is too big now to be perturbed
over an election, no matter how vital
or how far-reaching the results. The
wheels of industry hummed their
usual merry. energetic, buslness-like
tune and the candidates themselves,
successful and defeated, went. about
their business as though nothing had
happened, There was surprisingly lit
tie discussion OF the results, though
occasionally newspaper man on the
alert for gossip could find group
here and there at luncheon with the
primary as Il topic.
AS ~ always true Of battle OF
ballots there were many surprises,
but 1t was generally agreed by those
who voiced opinions that the victories
Of Messrs Folkes, Whittet and Hirsch-
berg were the result OF campaigns
| conducted along systematic lines by
organized workers-the triumph or
I organization over the scattered vote
! OF majority.

result. There IL some regret on the
! Southside that that section will not
have direct representation on the new

I the vote sufficiently To spell his de-
feat.
FILES Expense Account.
State Senator Folkes was the nrst
OF the candidates to comply with The
law which requires hltng with the

account for the campaign. inoush
Senator Folkes led the ticket his eA-
penses amounted TO only 1881 and OF
his amount $3.50 was the entrance
fee The balance was for printing
and the hire of halls III which he
spoke. The candidates have twenty
days in which to file their accounts.
