the committee would take the matter
up and give 1t due consideration.
After Secretary Duke had presented
the letter to the committee and before
anyone had expressed himself on the

City Is Democratic.
Mr.. Saunders disagreed with Mr..
Purcell. He said that the city OF
Richmond was in the hands of the
3 Democratic party. and that whatever
action Is taken at the primary cleo
ton could not be changed in the
general election. He moved that
the letter from the trades and labor
council be referred to a sub-com-

plans committee.

committee" explained Mr.. Saunders.
II would not like TO offer the resolu-

Lee ward. said he could not see why
the committee at this time should take

upon by the whole city. said Mr..
Duke. There are many indepen-

taxes in Richmond, but who cannot
enter the Democratic primary. Their
views should be sought. and should
be expressed. This question should
come up at the November election.

No Temperance Parade.
The election of today was different
from the local option elections here
tofore held in Bristol, in that the
women and children were not in evil
dence and there was no temperance
parade. However a hundred. temper
arce workers spent the entire day on
the grounds. Both sides engaged
voters. The vote was heavy, only
thirty-two votes eligible to vote hav-
ing failed to participate. Several came
thousand miles or farther to cast
their vote.
The "wets" conducted very quiet
campaign. In fact 1t was not thought
until last night that they had done
anything. but 1t developed that they
had worked under cover most assid-
ously and had arranged to bring many
voters here from a distance to parti-
cipate and that they had perfect
organization.
The election was brought on by the
temperance leaders and they had
