To the Voters of the Third District:
There has just come to our hands a
hand-bill. or dodger, signed by Morgan
Treat, chairman of the Republican Cam
paign Committee, and c. =. Snead. chair
man OF the Republican Congressional Com
mittee. This was intended for use on to-
morrow, when ii was thought 1t would be
TOO late 10 make any reply TO 1t, and has
been kept a profound secret up to this
time.
In this dodger the purpose of the Radi-
Gals in this district is plainly disclosed,
and that purpose Is TO contest the eiec-
tion5=of Captain Lamb, the Democratic
nominee and secure for Edgar Allan q
seat IN Congress. to which the people OF
this district: almost regardless of party,
would think Ii an everlasting disgrace 10
elect him.
The following are Two clauses from this
doager:
Vote for Edgar Allan For Congress. be
cause the recent cowardIy attack upon his
reputation will be resented by Northern
Congressman should Captain Lamb be
elected: because it will enlist the sympa-
thy of Allan's colleagues in Congress and
make him power for the welfare of
Richmond interests.
The meaning of this cannot be mistaken.
we may well PITY the moral obliquity
which could imagine that such terrible
expose of Edgar Allan's character and
reputation. as has been recently made,
could win for him the sympathy and sup
port of honorable men: but that is not the
question. Neither Allan nor his party
supportcrs have ina gined for a single mo-
naent that under any circumstances the
people of this district would elect nm 10
Congress. 1t has been almost the aVoWed
purpose 10 contest the seat of his success
full opponent in the confident belief that
Rany1lira.1 HpnSc would give
the seat 10 a man who was not and never
could he elected 10 il.
The exposure Of Allans record has had
n tremendous effect in arousinE our peo-
pie Many had forgotten, and many had
never known. the real character of the man
These now realize the amazing lnsoience
Of his candidacy. and he is destined 10 such
a defeat as has never been inflicted on any
candidate in Virginia. Whatever results
NAV follow this election, our people may
congratulate themselves that they will be
forever rid of Allanism in this district.
But we must warn all respectable men
that only an Overlooking majority for
CAPTAIN Lamb can prevent the consumma-
zion of the threat contained in this dodger.
IF our people do not want to see their VIII
defeated by n Republican House OF Repre-
sen.aJives-if they object to having a man
OF the Allan stripe forced upon them in
The place OF their own chosen representa-
tive-they must eject captain Lamp %!
such a majority rs will make an attempt
at contest ridiculous
We can say this TO our people with per
feet confidence: Whatever room there may
be for differences of opinion on national
issues. Or as between the national candi-
dates. this question comes to US at our
1iresides: there can be no hating between
Two opinions when the issue is John Lamb
or Edgar Allan.
Respectfully.
