THE REPUBLICAN
FLASH IN THE PAN.

{ The hallucination entertained by
republicans of Alexandria that with
a small percentage of disatfected
democrats q large vote would be pol
| led fer the opponent of Hon. c. Z.
Carlin passed away early last night
when it was seen that the present
incumbent had received more than
two to one of the votes cast. In
other words, Mr.. Carlin had more
n,aioritv than all of his competitors
votes.
There had been much talk during
the past few weeks concerning al
legged antagonism to the present able
representative from the Alexandra
district. but, as had been suggested
by the Gazette, when the day came
for casting ballots. many who ;l had
been loud in their criticisms seemed
TO realize the fact that the fight was
between the democrats and republ1-
cans, and not relishing crow, they
resumed their former places in the
democratic ranks. A corporais guard
however, who preferred to remain
adrift, went down under the avail
anche.
No well-informed democrat had any
idea that the people of Alexandra
would endorse a republican for Con-
press even by substantial compll-
mentary vote, and the result yester-
dav shows that our city is not sub
iect to any variation or shadow OF
turning from its democratic convlc-
tons.
The returns from the district show
the same rock-bound Democratic con-
ditions which existed anterior to the
DAYS of extra Billy Smith are
as impregnable as ever.
In the political history of Virginia
there have been times when a CERTAIN
percentage CT the democratic party
have thoughtlcssly strayed from the
fold, but such have always returned
sadder and wiser. Many allowed
themselves to be fused With repub-
licans during the days Of William
Malone. They crept back however,
at the first favorable opportunity and
have profted by their experience. II
will doubtless be so with the few
misguided Alexandrians who followed
the ignis factuus yesterday.
President Wilson has said about
ii! that could be said of Hon. c. c.
Carlin. The administration earnest
y desired his return to Congress, and
MS many friends in the Eighth Dis
trict and throughout the common
wealth rejoice with him in his great
victory. He has been returned to
Congress on a tidal wave. where his
work of usefulness for his state and
the nation will be continued.
Mr. Crrppcr's vote in the District
will be quite disappointing to ms
friends: he seems to have made

TAYLOR AGAIN GETS
ONLY ONE BID FOR
RIVER FRONT FILL
Commissioner of Parks Makes An
other Effort to Complete
the Park

Only one bid for hauling material
from the Second street subway to the
river front for "fill" was again re-
ceived by City Commissioner NJ. Har-
vey Taylor, superintendent of parks
and public property when he opened
proposals at noon.
The sole bidder was S. W. Shoe
maker & Son. who offered to haul the
dirt to the river front between Ham,
ilton and Maclay streets for rs cents
per load and to the stretch between
Maclay and Division streets for 50
cents per load.
For the embankment above Maclay
street Commissioner Taylor wants
1000 yards, more or less; for the sec
ton below Maclay he wants about
10000 yards.
The iii" above Maclay is largely
for the purpose of supporting the
curbing; that below Maclay will be
needed to straighten and make uni
form the River Front Park adjacent
to the wall.

10000 MEN LOST IN
SERIES Of BATTLES
ALONG RIVER MARINE
Figures, However, Are Not Yet Of
ficial and Casualties May
Even Be Higher
BY Associated Press

Paris Sept 10, $50 a. m. - The
official communications issued thus
far have neglected the question of
losses which, in a fight such as the
battle of the Marne, covering a front
of 130 miles, are almost impossible to
estimate even approximately. Some
unofficial reports have placed the al
lies losses at $4,000 and those of the
Germans at 100000 in the series of
engagements com prised in the great
clash of arms. How near these figures
are to the truth no one will know un-
Til the official figures are compiled.
However, the impression derived from
individual accounts of wounded SOL
diers and from prisoners, the only
unofficial sources of information at
present, would indicate that these esti-
mates are conservative.
The losses certainly are the greatest
on record and perhaps the proportion
for the Germans Is greater than to
in dead at least.
The press bureaus are silent on this
subject, the order of the day for the
army gives eloquent hints of sacri-
fees made to gain advantage and
shows how murderous is modern war
fare and how regardless of personal
safety are the officers and men. The
lates order given out last night is full
of deeds of the greatest herosm and
at the same time indicates what the
