REASONS FOR
SMALL VOTE.

The small vote cast last Tuesday
has again raised IA doubt in the
minds of some of The Virginia leaders
thattoo many political campaigns, too
MANY primaries and tito many cleo
tions are held in the Old Dominion.
The opinion is expressed that,
should the Virginia voter be given
an off-yaar during which politics are
tabooed, a more complete expression
of the people Of the state can be OBJ
tanned in The primaries and In the
elections.
Congressman James Hay, of the
Seventh district, is one of those who
thinks the state offices should be
elected The slime year the president oil
the United States is voted for and i'hc
state legislature named when con
gressmen aa-e nominated and elected.
This would combine the state and
presidential elections.
Congressman E. E. Holland, Of the
Norfolk district, assented to Mr..
Hays views.
As The situation now stands from
one to three primaries or mass
meetings and from one to two general
ieiections are held in the state every
year. In the course of four years,
under Virginia's present system Of
electing municipal, county, state and
federal officers, the voters are asked
to march to the polls fourteen times,
or an average of three and half
times a year.
For an illustration take the four
year period beginning with January
1912, ami ending December, 1915
Year 1912-D Primary in cities to
nominate candidates for mayor and
