ALEXANDRIA, Va, April T.
1.-THE city is safe for another four
years" This. statement made by a
prominent politician expresses the
sentiment of the people regarding
the outcome of the Democratic prt-
mary yesterday which returned four
members of the old city council and
]. e. w. Timberman as winners.
For the second time Mayor w.
Albert Smoot, with 1872 votes, led
the ticket He was closely followed
by Thomas J. Fannon, 1902; Ed
mund F. TIGER, 1,148; J. e. w. Tim
herman, 1,085, and Robert s. Jones,
951.
The defeated candidates were
swamped. Frank w. Latham re.
ceived 8S8 votes; Robert f. Colvin,
S79, and Harry F. Kennedy, 749.
The reelection of the present city
councilmen, with the exception OF
Arthur Bryant, who was not q
candidate to succeed himself, is
looked upon as an unqualified IN
dorsement of the council-manager
plan OF city government. 1t is an
almost certainty that the first act
OF the council when they are seated,
September /, will be the reappoint.
ment of Paul Morton as city man
ager.
There was not a single arrest
made by the police yesterday. This
sets a precedent that even veteran
members of the police force cannot
remember on an election day. For
the first time in several years po-
lice officers were placed at the
polls to avoid any interference with
the voters. and it is believed that
their presence was influential IN
making the election the quietest
ever held.
A coroner's inquest has been
called for this evening at 1870 TO
investigate the death Of 7-year-old
Charles Thomas, whose body was
found, by his father in a pit on the
property OF the Emerson Steam
Pump Company Monday afternoon.

Alexandria Hospital the ned OF

and the question of an addition
to the building was discussed, but
nothing definite was decided. The

tary, and Arthur Herbert, treasurer,

Personally believe that sizes
