We certainly DO not claim that ths
elections in all Of our counties or even
in majority OF them. are tainted and
uncGean. but we do most strenuously In
sist that IN some quarters there have
been unnistakahle eTidences Of practices
which are unvarrsnted b. law and un-
justhable in morals
Can any man read the sfDdaTiis fled and
read in the Virginia contested election
cases which were heard by a COMMITTEES
in the last Congress. and claim that our

political prestige warrants Virsinian IN
