It was something Of a paradox
that those who Joined to defeat
the poll tax repeater were mostly
the ones who have been anti-poll
tax for years. But their opposi-
tion wasn't to lifting of the $50
poll tax as such: It was to the
broad authority the package pro-
posals would have given to the
General Assembly as well.
The IL constitutional changes,
among other things. would have

Non.Partisan Election
Voted in Alexandra
Advisory Referendum
By Mary Lou Werner

Alexandria voters spoke out in
favor Of non-partisan municipal
elections by a 755-vote majority
in an advisory referendum yester-
day.
City councilmen have promised
to abide by the voters wishes and
non-partisan voting will begin In
local elections as soon as a new
city charter can be adopted. The
vote was 2,7l2 for and 1887
against.
The city's only opposed candi-
date In the general election was
Armistead Boothe, member of the
House Of Delegates who won an
easy victory over his Republican
opponent Richard w. Bucking-
ham, by a vote of 3,207 to 1897.
The suffrage amendments to the
State constitution lost by a vote
OF three-to-one.
Total Vote Is Large.
The total vote of 1857 was large
for a general election. Returns,
however, showed that the poll tax
and non-partisan issues were the
big drawing cards at the polls.
More votes were cast on these two
issues than in any contests be-
tween candidates.
Mr.. Booth said after returns
were complete on the non-
partisan issue last night that he
understood the City Council now
would ask him to introduce at
the next session of the Legislature
q new charter containing pro-
vision for non-partisan municipal
elections. The charter commits
sion is preparing a new plan of
local government and suggested
the referendum.
State Senator Andrew w.
Clarke, who represents the Alex
andria. area, said that although
he did not favor the non-partisan
plan, he would take no steps to
block passage Of a charter con-
tanning such provisions.
people Have Spoken" i
The people have spoken. So
far as I'm concerned they shall
have what they want" said Mr..
Clarke.
Nathan Paulson, Alexandria
Republican leader, said his party
was the first group in Alexandria
to come out in favor of non-
partisan municipal elections. The
two-party system which has pre-
vailed in Alexandria always has
been top-heavy with Democrats
to the extent that Republicans
seldom seek Office.
Local Democratic incumbents
elected without opposition were:
Commemorative Attorney How
ard W. Smith, jr.; Juvenile. and
Domestic Relations Justice Marion
B. West: City Sergeant J. Frank
Moriarty; Commissioner Of Reve-
nue. Charles A. Callahan; Civil
