you for the great consideration ysu
show me in your expressions of sym

contest, and your solicitude as to my
position in the pending political
struggle in the state of Virginia. My
words fail me on the occasion, and |
can only offer you the sentiments Of
my deepest gratitude.
The Virginia election is one of the
greatest Importance, both in local
and national significance, and every
intelligent American citizen must SO
regard it. Your anxiety, your deep
solici ude with respect thereto, is en-
tirely natural and proper.
Should wisdom prevail in the man
agement Of the Republican party, as
we all hope it may, in our state. there
may be no fear as to our state, there
may be no fear as to our success.
Our party will elect its candidates by
from 10000 to Is, 900 majority should
free vote and a just count be
allowed. The victory is within our
reach. We have only to ask wisdom.
moderation. loyalty and courage in
our leadership.
We are not to feel that our task is
an easy one. 1t is not. But har-
mony and union with loyal Repub-
lican purpose and action will insure
our triumph.
So far as am concerned person
ally. | beg to assure you, gentlemen,
that stand-ready, moved as | am
by the deepest and most abiding par
ty loyalty, the fruit of the Republi'
can convict'on-to do my duty in the

to me by our Heavenly Father in the

shall esteem no duty too arduous, nc
personal sacrifice too great, to be un~
dertaken and made to promote and
sustain its principles.
AS regards my contest for seat in
the Fifty First Congress as Repub-
lican Representative of the Fourth
Congressional District Of Virginia,
duly elected, | shall expect the sup
port Of every Republican member OF
the house of Representatives, espe-
cialIy those from my own state, and
the influence and support of every
leading Republican of Virginia and
the National, especially the gentle
man members Of the National Re-
publican Committee and Of the State
central, executive and campaign

efforts to secure my seat in Congress
to which $1,000 Republican voters
have elected me and to whose inter
est as well as that of the Republican
party, | stand pledged by every con-
sideration of fidelity, honor, and
obligation.

authorities to enter upon such duties

Once In such canvass, | shall not

mocratic domination and rule.

rushed down the pier. jumped into the
water. and pulled the little boy out.
The children now divided into two
bands. One was to take the rescued
child to his mother and father. The
other was to lead the dog to a baker,
shop, where he was fed on cakes and
other sweets until he could eat nc

Tho next afternoon the same GROUP
of children were playing on the pier.
The brave dog came trotting down t.
them with many friendly wags and
mods.
The children stroked and petted him
