Brief Discussions
Still "Tor Fair Ballots"

Referring to The Virginians recent discus
sion OF the shortage of ballots in the prohihl-
ton election the Virginian Citizen says:
will The Virginian, some other Of the
authorities who have recorded the fact tell us
why there should have been any shortage of
tallots a. any precinct in the recent election :?
The ectorlal laws require that there shall
he printed twice the number of ballots as there
are registered voters; that these shall be count
ed for each precinct stamped, sealed and marked
upon the wrapper to be delivered to the judges
the number prescribed as twice the number
on the registration books.
There Is chance for one Of several con-
clusions--that the requisite number was not
printed: that some purloined sealed ballots.

Any of the three conclusions may be

Considering the Republican congressional
campaign this fall the Alexandria Gazette says,
among other things the following:
Not in many years have they shown such
activity in this district, and money seems to be
most plentiful Republican minor politicians
are enjoying wave Of prosperity such as thay
have not had in many moons
1.-THE efforts Of the Republicans should en-
courage every Democrat in the State to addi-
tional efforts to give the Democratic nominees
their unanimous support. While there is moth
ing in the political situation to create any
alarm Ii is important that neither Democratic
apathy nor overconfdence should allow tho
Republicans to make such inroads upon the
Democratic majority in the house of represen-
tatives as will produce wrong impression as
