Resentment by Both Vets and
Drys is Widespread---L ocal
Option Election in Staunton
Probably First Move.

That the liquor forces OF the state
overplayed their hands in the recent
elections for members OF the house of
delegates is evidenced by the resent
ment displayed in several districts by
their efforts TO defeat the Democratic
nominees. after having taken part in
the Democratic primaries or conven-
tons.
The bolt Of a few influential
leaders OF the saloon element in the
Washington Bristol and in the Staun-
ton Augusta districts. and their work
for the Republican nominees Was par
ticularly noticeable. In both in
stances their work against the Demo
cratic nominee was fruitIess. but that
fact has but slightly appeased the
people of the districts. and deep re-
sentiment is felt by the wet as well
as the dry" Democrats.
Local Option Election.
One result in stanton will proba-
bly, be the calling of a local option
election to sweep the saloons from
the city. In which event many Demo-
Gratis who heretofore, have voted the
wet" ticket but who have no i'm
mediate interests at stake. will vote
the dry ticket for the first time.
Petitions are in circulation IN staun-
ton calling upon Judge ker, of the
Corporation court, to order a special
election IN Decemher.- and numerone
signatures are being attached. There
Is practically no doubt that suffl-
cient number Of signatures will be OBJ
tanned TO force an election.
These petitions. reports from Staun-
ton say are the direct result Of Tues
days election. In which the saloon
people bent their efforts toward de-
featinr the Democratic nominees who
are pledged to vote for the enabling
art. Several liquor men In the dis
tr.ct went into the Democratic prt-
mary. and being defeated 5olted the
party in the election because the
nominees were pledged to the enab-

held Wednesday evening at 1880 O..
clock at the city council chamber with
a fair sized attendance. President

mittecs of the previous session were

The chief matter brought to the
attention of the association was in
regard to announcement made that
the Camp Glass factory is to leave Mt.
Vernon and locate in Huntington. w.
Va.
A report was made by the new in.
dustries committee in reference to the
matter. The committee reported that
conference had been held some time
ago with Judge Frank o. Levering,
the attorney for the Camp company,
In which the company presented a
proposition asking the citizens OF Mt
Vernon to assist the company In pur.
chasing and installing gas producers
In their plant In Mt. Vernon. It was
shown that gas producers would cost
$4,000 and the company asked for q
bonus OF $4,000 from the city. The
committee felt that this proposition
was not at all advantageous to the
city.
After some discussion the report OF
the committee was accepted.
The suggestion was made that the
ground on which the buildings of the
Camp Glass company are now located
would be valuable for the Citizens As.

try could be secured TO locate on the
site. Upon motion of Mr.. Robinson
the new industries committee was
authorized 10 take up the matter with
the Camp Glass Co. IN regard to tho
purchase OF the site and to report
back to the association at the next
meeting. 1t was reported that the as.
soc.ation already has considerable
funds to pay down on the purchase
OF the ground.
The transportation committee was
directed to confer with the officials
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and see II they could not be induced
to restore trains No Z ana s. through,
