candidacy for the second place on the

has been the very able Senator from his
district DR.. lie Catos course in the
Legislature where he has long been 4
recognized leader. has marked HIM as
a man of splendid business qualifications
and has made him strong friends in
every section of the State.
Perhaps to him, more than to any other
man in the State, is due the credit of the
settlement of the oyster question, where
by, under the management OF the Board
OF Fisheries, created on his notion the
industry has become a source Of nand
some revenue TIC the State instead OF
Il charge upon the public treasury
The friends of DR.. LIE Cato argue that
the First Congressional District has
not been represented on the State ticket
for over quarter of a century, and that
it is time some recognition were given
that section, which has always stood by
the party and cnecrfully supported its
nominees, from whatever portion CT the
State they may have come.
BELONGS TO THE OLD SCHOOL,
Personally, DR.. LIE Cato is q delightful
specimen of the Old Virginia gentleman
He is about dfty-tfve years of age, is
exceedingly atfable and courtly of man
ner, and is one Of the most popular mem
bers of the Senate. He has made the
enviabIe reputation during his long legis-
lative career of never having failed to
get a measure through the Senate which
he has fathered, and some of the most
important acts Of recent Assemblies bear
his name as their patron.
DR.. LIE Cato is a most pleasing public
speaker. admirable presiding officer
and is we'll equipped for all the important
duties of the position to which he aspires
although he insists upon styling himself
