While Alexandria Democrats are re-
joicing today over the overwhelming
victory of their National ticket, they
are disappointed at the small vote cast
in Alexandria. Although every effort
was made by the Wilson. Marshall and
Carlin Club and the o1ty democratic
committee to get out the vote, only
1904 votes we're polled for the Presl-
dental ticket. For the Congressional
ticket, las votes were cast. The small
number was due to the fact that the
names of the candidates for Congress
were placed at the bottom of the long
Presidential ticket, and were overlooked
by many voters.
The result OF the Presidential elec-
tion was as follows: Wilson. 949; Taft,
