Gentlemen:-As you know,
the last Legislature passed a
special act, allowing absent
voters to vote by mail. This
act is long and somewhat com
plicated, so for fear that you
gentlemen would not have an
opportunity to properly prepare
the necessary blanks in order
to take care of the coming cleo
ton, our District Committee au
thoriZes me to have the law in
terpreted and the blanks pre-
pared, sufficient in number to
take care of oil the voters in
the district. We have sent n
supply of these to each of our
County Chairmen, with the re-
quest that they turn same over
to your Board or Registrar di.
rect. If you approve of this
plan and if the quantity should
not be sufficient to take care of
all the voters, both Democrats
and Republicans, we would sug
gest that you have duplicates
printed and place in the hands
OF the Registrars at once.
We are satisfied that you gen.

forts in this connection, and es
pecially should the Republicans

Town Of Norton Takes
Drastic Steps in Quaran-

Norton, Va, Oct. GA re.
yival of the whipping post, or
what may amount to the same
thing, may be seen in Norton
under an ordinance passed by
the town council in order to en-.
force a quarantine against scar
let fever and diphthcria here.
at o special meeting of the
town council an ordinance was
passed causing all public
schools, churches, moving pic
ture shows or other public
gatherings to be closed until
October Is, unless other cases
of scarlet fever or diphtheria
than the ones here now develop.
There are five cases of diph-
liberia and four cases of scarlet
fever here.
When members of the town
council learned that there was
no danger of epidemics of eli
ther disease spreading if a
strict quarantine were kept, a
loca! law was passed to force
every child under 10 years of
age to stay at home and not
leave the premises under penal
ty of a fine of $40 or to receive
a public whipping at the city
hall.
This step was taken, it is
said, because children in whose
homes scarlet fever has existed
have been on the streets. 1t ia
alleged the police have taken
such children back to their
homes, but they were back on
the streets with other children
again within a few minutes.

Democratic
And Republic
can Claims.

The Republican campaign
committee are entertaining rosy
views in regard to the outcome
of the Presidential election in
November.
They base their hopes large
ly on five propositions as FOL.
lows;
/. The Wilson hour rail-
road legislation, which is said
to have cost him the votes of
the farmers.
2. The increasing power of
Mr.. Hughes speeches.
8. A moro complete ANAL
gamation of Republicans and
Progressives than was at first
indicated.
4. The Main election, the
moral effect of which has been
noticeable in virtually every
contested State.
8. The German-American
vote will be cast almost solidly
against MIR. Wilson, as these
voters are very bitter against
him, on account Of his attitude
toward Germany. SO it is
claimed that these five elements
will more than insure the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hughes.
The Democratic Claim.
Washington, Oct. THE
Democrats claim that the work
ing men of the country in gen
eral and the organized labor
vote in particular will be over
whelmingly for Mr.. Wilson.
This with the regular party
vote will insure the election of
MIR Wilson. They also atate
while they will lose few Ger
man American votes yet they
make the claim that for each
of such votes, they will gain
double the number from the
regular Republicans, those who
are american first" and Re-
publicans afterwards. The
Democrats are also giving out
u little table in which they
figure out a sweeping Demo
cratic victory this fall, and yet
strange to. say they base their
fignres on the votes brought out
in the Republican victory in
Maine on September 18th.
The vote showed that the Re-
publicane polled II vote equal to
the Bull Moose and Republicans
combined and the Democratic
vote OF oil ,0OO which Maine cast
for Wilson in 1912 was increas.
ed to 6S,5o this year, an in
crease of more than. one third
The Democratic leaders claim
that on this basis, conceding to
Mrs. Hughes Il vote equal to
that received by Roosevelt in
1912 which was 1896 and
Mr.. Taft which was 3,439, 500,
MIR. Hughes will receive 7,6OS, :
600 votes; and increasing Mr..
Wilson's vote 1908, coo of 1912,
by one third, Wilson would re-
ceive S.404 900 and carry the

ing votes:
