Sir,-Ile sunday Observance League re-
srets to learn from interviews with you

regard its letter OF the 18th inst. as an

cation could be SO construed, and desire
publicly to disclaim any SUCH intention.
Nothing is further from the object Of this
league than disrespect for the laws and
their sworn officers. and we beg TO assure
You that We wish the earnest cooperation
OF yourself and every such officer for
tte attainment of the aims we have in

OF fearlessly criticizng the administra-
ton OF the laws and Of bringing to your
attention particulars in which we believe
them to he violated. You say that we
have taken refuge behind a letter TO
accuse you Of neglecting your official
business In point of fact our letter
shows that we are not seeking refuge
but are openly doing what We can 10 Sc
cure an enforcement Of the laws. On
the other hand your letter places you
in the position Of seeking retL sc behind
the chief of police. upon whom YOU seem
10 place the whole responsibility in the
premises. But the constitution Of Nir-
ginia does not so place il, since it de-
clares you TO be the chief executive Off
Ger of this city, requires you to see that
the duties Of every other officer are faith
fully performed, and gives You express
power TO investigate all the acts of such
officers and to suspend or remove them
if necessary. It was. therefore, proper
for US TO write To you as well as to the
chief Of police, and it would have been
dlscourteous in US not 20 have done so.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-There has
been an attempt to give out the impress
sion that the Congressional delegation
from Virginia is almost unanimous in
favor of the candidacy of Representa-
tive Swanson for the Goyernorship- 1t is
generally stated that the delegation
stands seven to two in favor of Swanson
The last few days has developed "a de-
cided reaction. and some anti-Swanson
men in the delegation are not too Well
pleased with the attempt to make 1t ap-
pear that there is practical unanimity
among the yirginians in Congress on this
question. \ prominent member of the
Virginia delegation. whose name could be

TODAY to The Times correspondent IN
the presence of others, that he would
accept a wager that Mr. Swanson did not

counting himself and he was not sure
that he had a majority even them lie

Swanson was sure of the delegation IN
Congress He, for one, thought the
members of the delegation ought TO stand
as individuals on q question OF TINS
kind and ought TO lnteftere as little 80
possible with questions of State politics.
1t had been made TO appear, however,
that Mr.. Swanson carried the delegation
in his vest pocket. and was using 1t as a
1nake-beIieye that there was an over
whelming demand for his nomination.
This in the opinion of the member, was
placing the delegation in II false light and
was creating an impression that was not
warranted by the facts
