MR.. LIE CATo's APPEAL.
He Urges Eastern Shore Virgfnians
to Stand by Their Cundidates.


to Stand by Their Candidates
EASTVILLE, Va. Nay ZI-State Seua-
tor George ". lie Cato, who is now can
didate for Lieutenant Governor has
just issued a statement urging the people
Of the Eastern Shore AID the tidewater
section to stand by Mr.. Marshall and him
SELF in the guberUatoriaI contests.
Mr.. lie Cato says:
1T is well known throughout the State
that the important and rapidly growing
grand division OF Virginia known as Tide
water-nOw the richest and most progress
sive section of the State-has had no State
recognition during our present Constitu-
tor For all these years. our three State
offices have been regularly going the
rounds Of the other sections. The south
west for instance. has not missed a par
ty nomination. with a single exception,
since Virginia was readmitted into the
Union. Meanwhile We have steadily con
tributed our large Democratic najorities
to swell the paTty's victories, and more
than once saved Democracy from defeat
Through II all. our peculiar and vital 10
cal interests have hung IN the balances
interests with which no other section Of
the state has been IN touch, or even in
sympathy
Nearly half of our taxable values. half
Of the industries OF our people and the
daily bread Of half OF them, have been at
stake, with 20 friend at court and 10
state official - the seat Of government TO
give cnuEtenauce ana dignity to our local
rights of citizenship We have been de
MED a representation on the Court or Ap-
pealS, and the peculiar phases Of sucn
profound legal questions as our maritime
interests, our riparian laws, etc. queS-
r tons distinct and apart from all other
State interests, are wholly unrcpresented
on our State supreme bench II only a
matter Of local pride was involved, the
situation might pass as an anomaly.
