ALEXANDRIA, Va, April with
approximately 500 votes cast here In the
Democratic primary for seats on city
council up to 10 o'clock this morning, It
was apparent that a light vote would
be cast in the balloting.
It was expected that less than $500
votes in all would be cast during the day
at the six precincts. There were 4,215
voters qualified when the polls opened at
5:45 am. this morning, 1878 Of which
were women.
Seven candidates, Edmund F. TIGER,
incumbent; Clyde G. Lamond, Arthur
Herbert, Emmett C.. Davidson, Richard
B. Washington, Mrs. Dolly Peyton Shep-
person and Mrs. Naomi p. Craver, were
out for the nomination for the three
seats. Two retiring candidates, Mayor
Robert s. Jones and j. E. w. Timber
nan, were not in the race for reelection.
Following the usual early morning
rush of Office workers, but few could be
observed around the voting places
around 10 o'clock. The contest has been
a liStless one, little interest having been
shown by the voters. The three candi-
dates named will represent their party
in the general election June S, but the
Democratic nomination practically
amounts to election.

the results are expected to be announced

The action necessary to restore
Iowa to its former place In the organ

The sentiment of members of the

emily was that Iowa, by declaring 20
athletes ineligible and otherwise
policing its athletic department, had
lived down the charges Of subsidizino
and p~roselyting Of its stars, and was
ready or readmittance
The fact that the North Central
association Of colleges, Of which Iowa
Is . member. had planned an inves-
tigation Of its own into Iowa's ath-
letic conduct also was q factor. The
conference schools appeared to feel
the Hawkeye institution should be
spared the humiliation of having an
outside group delve into its affairs.
