CHAIRMAN SAUNDERS
FINAL CALL TO DUTY
and TO Take Particular Heed in
Marking Ballot.
REASONS FOR VOTING HERE
Outside of Desire to Properly Support
Our Candidates, City's influence In
state Politics Is Fixed by Number
Of Votes Cast.

The chairman OF the Democratic
City Committee on yesterday issued
the following address to the Demo-
cratic voters of the city. urging their
attendance at the polls today:
Democratic Voters of the City of Rich
mond:
The election for President and Vice
President of the United States and
members OF Congress will take place
tomorrow. The Republicans admit
that Virginia will go Democratic, and
that its electoral vote will be counted
for our great President Woodrow
Wilson. and Vice-PreSident Thomas B.
Marshall Nevertheless. it is the duty
of every Democrat in this city to 60
to the polls and vote the straight
woodrow Wilson: Vice-President.
Thomas r. Marshall; United States
Senator. Claude A. Swanson; Repre-
sentative. Andrew j. Montague. and
member Of the Administrative Board,
Graham B. Hobson.
Do not fail to vote on the aSsump-
ton that other citizens will perform
this duty for you. making sure OF the
election as far as this State 10 con-
cerned. 1t is your duty to take time
to go to the polls and record your
vote. so that the majority will be
so large that no person or party can
misunderstood the sentiments Of this
city.
Ono Good Practical Reason.
The representation N the STAT con-
vention is based on the numb Der Of
votes cast fo~ President. IN, this cleo
ton. So i the Democrats Of this city
wish to take a prominent part in the
4ennHHHs "a DafrTlrgatfr F,aV Of
this State it IS absolutely necessary
for them 10 turn out and give our
President n very large vote thereby
securing large delegation in our next
State convention
Each Democrat should do his duty.
This city has been benefited very
largely by the present Democratic ad -
rntHistrat !on, and - cry Democrat who
fails TO vote is showing his lack OF
loyalty TO his party. There Is no rea-
son thst Wilson should not receive
10 900 votes r this city. There are
more than that number Of good DEM
ecrdts here and If they will he sure
20 20 To the polls We shall get the
largest vote for Wilson that any Presi-
dent has received since more than
1000 votes we're cast for Grover
Cleveland in 1892
Democrats do your duty tomorrow,
Vote early before you go 70 yoar place
Of business. The polls viii be open
for voting al 6:-2 a VI and close at
sos r. Al Plenty az time for every
one to vote
