TO the position. politically, OF the state. and
whether he considered her doubtful IN the COM
ing Presidential camTaiGn, Mr. NlcDonald SAID:
We'll for that matter. every state - doubt
full. hut Virginia no more SO than some others.
Malone is still working TO kill her, but the
old State has weathered worse than he. |
can't put mroh faith in the reported reconcile
alton Of Malone and Langston. Ma
hone IS one Of the bitterost enemies
in the world when he once hates
a man. apd don't think he is one 20 forgive.
Even if Malone and Langston did combine. l
don't believe that they could carry Virginia.
Our people are beginning 70 see how ihlnSs
are worked and more ana more %. the darkie7
are voting the Democratic ticket. The night
will be tho hottest in Portsmouth and about
Petersburg. but take the State MS q whole. and
| believe she is Democratic 90 the core.
This promises 10 he great truck year for
our people. Crops have never looked 40 well.
and if the weather is only far. | think We
will have one Of the biggest trucking seasons
on record"
