Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 24-with
the statewide prohibition election but
little less than two months off there is
at the present time but little interest
apparent on the surface in the cam
paign. It Is. however, generally con-
ceded that before the campaign ac-
tually begins both sides will have lined
up their respective forces for the fray
and that an unusually aggressive cam
paign will be made.
Alexandra will. of course vote ''wet'
by good sized majority. This is even
conceded by the most sanguine anti
saloon people. Each side will how
ever. make every effort possible to
mako good showing In the election.
1t iA. therefore. free to predict that
an unusually large vote will be polled
in this contest. as will be in every
other part Of the state on election day,
September 20 next.
