gated Each voter must perform that SER
vice to the State for himself He cannot
do this unless he is properly registered.
Years of Infamous black Republican mis-
rule have conclusively shown that II Is
impossible 20 have honest government In
this Commonwealth unless the reins are
In Democratic hands.
They cannot be kept in Democratic
hands unless the individual voters do
their duty IL IL of the most vital i'm
portance that we should have absolute
control OF the General Assembly as well
as of the Office of Governor. 1t is strictly
n State affair and a question of local self
government. The next General Assembly
will have to elect Judges of the Circuit
Court Of the City OF Richmond, the Hust-
ings Court, and the Chancery Court.
and a United States Senator to FIJI the
unexpred term OF the late John s. Bar
bour, and the regular term, all the CIR
cult Court judges for the whole Common
wealth. and the five Judges for the SUI
preme Court of Appeals. The approach
ing Legislature will have more power
than any General Assembly ever elected
In the history Of Virginia.
