Now that the time Is drawing near
when parts of Henrico and Chester
field Counties will become a part of
the city, the question of what provis-
ions will be made to police the new
territory Is a very pertinent one to
citizens of these two counties. VINO
are soon to become citizens OF Rica-
mond.
The question has been raised as to
whether or not the provisions made by
the council in recommending only an
increase of sixteen men will fully
come up to the pledges made by Rich
mond to those counties when the final
annexation agreement was reached.
Those familiar with the workings of
the Police Department realize what a
small increase OF the force sixteen
men will mean. Dividing the men
equally between the three police pre-
cincts Of the city 1t is seen that two
will only get Ave extra men. while one
will get six. Taking the largest Of tho
figures, six men only means that two
will be on duty at the time. figuring
it at Nght hours shifts. Taking. for
example, the Second precinct. in which
will be Ginter Park, Barton Heights.
besides large amount OF another terri
tory, 1t will thus be seen how made
quate an increase OF six men Is prop
erly to police this large amount of ter
ritory, with only two extra men on
duty at the time.
Another Increase Later.
Il Ia understood, however, that the
finance committee of the council in
recommending only an increase OF six
teen men to that body layed stress on
the fact that when the budget for next
year is arranged a more substantial
increase will be provided for
Richmond now has force OF 1e3
men, divided as follows: Head

NOTHING TO EXCITE VOTERS IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE.

The congressional campaign in vir-
gtnta. which closes tonight, has been
an exceedingly quiet one. save in the
Ninth District. where for two or three
months a stiff, holly contested fight
between r. Tate Irvine and Congress
man Siemp. Republican candidate for
reelection. has been waged.
In every district in the State there
are two or more candidates for Con-
gress, one Socialist in each, but in
none Of them is there any real fight,
except in the Ninth. In the Tenth
District. where George Revercomb is
opposing the candidacy of Congress-
man Flood, there has been some little
campaigning. and both Mr.. Flood and
Mr.. Revercohnb have made one or two
speeches, but interest is slight. Mr..
Floods reelection Is a certainty and
the voters are refusing to take MIR.
Revercomb's candidacy seriously.

CLOSE CAMPAIGNS
IN -FOUR STATES
PENRosE HAS REST CHANCE, IN
CERTAIN IN NEW YORK
AND OHIO.

Among the States whose campaigns
are attracting especial notice as the
date OF election draws near are New
York. Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio.
Extreme uncertainty characterizes
the New York situation So many Diff
ferent currents are Offering the political
tide that many OF the leaders say
frankly they do not know what will
be the outcome. With respect to the
contest between District Attorney
Whitman and Governor Giynn over the
governorship. It 10 even money In
Wall Street but tho latest advices are
that Whitman has a shade the better
of it In the contest over the senator
ship between Ambassador Gerard and
James w wadsworth. Jr.. the betting
favors Judge Gerard. The odds are as
high as three to one, but this is based
on supposed sentiment In the city and
takes little account OF the sentiment
upstate. which may prove a surprise.
The Pennsylvania situation has at
tracted wide notice because OF the eff
forts to down Senator Penrose. His
opponents are Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, and Clifford Pinchot. who Is
running on the Bull Moose ticl.-r In
dications are that Penrose will win

contest. but the chances seem to favor
Sullivan. The Wilson administration
Is supporting him. though progressive
Democrats like Senator Owen have re-
fused to stomach sullivan and have
come out for Robins Postmaster
General Burleson went into tho State
to appeal to the voters to support
Sullivan.
In Ohio the situation is complicated
by q close wet and dry contest. This
contest is over a proposed prohibition
amendment. The Indications are the
State will go dry. though the fight
Is admittedly one that is difficult to
Judge. In the fight between Governor
Cox and Congressman Willis, the DEM
ocratic and Republican nominees for
governor. the outcome Is In doubt II
Is neck and neck race. Enough votes
may go to Garfleid. the Bull Moose
candidate, to elect Cox. but straw votes

the senatorship. the Indications point
to close hight between election OF

WOMEN ARE ACTIVE
IN MANY STATES
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENTS UP IN
sEvEN-OPPOsE DEMOCRATS
IN NINE STATES.

Women are taking moro import
ant part in the present campaign
than in any hitherto in the history
Of the country. In seven States
amendments to the State constitutions
granting the ballot to women will be
voted upon.
In nine States-the States where
women have the ballot already
there is being waged a hot campaign
by the Congressional Union for Wom-
an Suffrage to defeat all the Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress. on the
ground that the Democratic admins
tration has been unfriendly to suf-
frage.
The seven States In which constitu-
tional amendments allowing women
to vote will be voted upon are Mon
North Dakota, Ohio and South Da-
kota.
The nine States in which the women
already vote. and where they are be-
ing urged not to vote for Democratic
candidates, are Arizona. California.
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas. Oregon.
Utah. Washington and Wyoming.
The women are very hopeful that
constitutional amendments granting
them suffrage will be carried in Me-
hraska. Nevada. Ohio and South Da-
kota, and believe they have a chance
in Montana In Missouri and North
Dakota the outlook Is said mot to be
so good.
When the Congressional Union for
Woman Suffrage announced a few
weeks ago from its headquarters here
in Washington that it intended to
wage a fight against all Democratic
candidates for Congress in the States
where the women now vote, the an
nouncement was met with a smile
from some of the Democratic organi-
cations in those States.
But since the women got into action
the Democrats have ceased to smile
and they and the Democratic press are
emitting loud walls Of protest They
insist that the action Of the women Is
all part of a Republican plot. But
the women declare otherwise, insist
ing that their fight is non-partisan.
and that they would attack any party.
