AN ADDRESS,.
To the Voters Of the Tenth Congressional
District Of VIRGINIA,

We appeal to you to go to the poll
on the 4th day of November and vot
for the reelection of Hon. II. d Floo,
to Congress and thereby sustain th,
politics of the Democratic party in th
State and Nation.
The Democratic party is In contro
of the State government and is respon
sible for the acts of the same. Under
the direction OF the Democratic party
a Constitutional Convention has recent.
ly been held in Virginia. This Con
vention accomplished much good to
| the people of the State.
1st. It relieved them to the iniouit.
GUS Underwood Constitution.
I'd. It eliminated from the electorate
OF the State the undesirable voters. ca.
pecfally the vicious and ignorant vote.
Sd. 1t reduced the rate of taxation
70 per cent, that Is, from 40 cents to
3Ocents On the 300 worthy of prop
erty.
4th. 1t created a Corporation Com
mission with strong provisions for de-
termlning matters of controversy be-
tween Railroad Companies and all 9TH
er corporations and people of the State.
9th. 1t did many other things which
will redown to the good and prosperity
OF the Commonwealth of Virginia. Mr..
Flood was member of this Conven
tion and supported the reforms men
TONED and many others that could be
enumerated.
Col. James Lyons, the Republican
nominee, in bis speeches, indorses the
suffrage provision of the Constitution
so far as it DISTINGUISHES the cOlored
voters, and does not criticise anything
in the Constitution or anything done
by the Convention, except the fact that
it proclaimed the Constitution instead
of submitting it to the people for rati-
fication or rejection.
Mr.. Flood consistently advocated the
submission of the Constitution and,
aS a member of the Convention, voted
for the same.
Therefore, according to Col. Lyons,
Mr.. Floods record in connection with
The Convention should be Endorsed by
the people of the District.
The Republican party Is responsible
or the perniciOus and Obstructive poll |
lies OF the National Government, which |
The Democratic party is seeking to |
'emedy.
LIST. The Democratic party stands
or the regulation and control OF the
trusts; the Republican party is con-
rolled by the trusts and will do moth
ng to stop them from plunderlng the
'eOple.
I'd. The Democratic party is for the
eduction of taxes; the Republican par
y is for retaining the present enorm-
JUS taxes.
Sd. The Democratic party favors
economy in governmental expenditures;
he Republican party favors extraya
ance.
Flood stands for the beneficient DO
cies of the Democratic party; Lyons
Or the oppressive policies of the Re-
party.
A vote for Flood will be vote
gainst the trusts, for lower taxes, and
II economy. A vote for Lyons will
Q a vote for trusts, for high tariff and
II extravagance. Not to vote is half
vote for Lyons.
Go to the polls on election day and
ote for 81. D. Flood.
Respectfully,
Jos. BUTTON,
W. A. RINEHART,

PHILIPPINE
WAR IS ENDED
General MaIVar and Entire
Force SurrOndOrS
PORTS TO BIZ OPEN TO TRADE
MalVar Orders the Surrender Of Every
InSuTgent to The Nearest Amer
lean Force
PORTS TO BIZ OPEN TO TRADE

Manila, April 17.-General Malvar
has Internationally surrendered 10
Brigadier General j. Franklin Bell, at
Lipa. Batangas province, with the en-
tire insurgent force of the provinces
Of Laguna ana Batangas. General
Bell says his (Bells) influence is sul.
ficient TO quell the insurrectionary
movements in Tayabas ami Cavite
provinces and capture all those in the
field who have not yet surrendered
but Malvar has ordered the complete
surrender of every insurgent to the
nearest American force.
General Wheaton reporting to the
division headquarters, says that all re
sistance in his department has ended
and that the surrenders just announc
ed mean that the ports will be opend
and that the iclipinos in the deten
tion camps can be allowed to return
to their homes in time to plant the
crops.
General Wheaton Is especially pleas
ed with General Bells care of the na
tives confined in the camps. The Off
GERS in charge are held personally re
sponsible for the quality and quantity
of the food served out for the general
welfare Of the occupants Of the camps
After securing the mountain passes
General Bell employed volunteer bolo
men for protection against ladroneism.
Numbers of Filipinos volunteered and
expressed the liveliest satisfaction at
the treatment accorded to themselves
and to their families who were in the
concentration camps.
General Wheaton gives General Bell
great credit for his indelatigability in
conducting the campaign. He was in
the field, on horseback, day and night
personally experimenting the most
arduous operations.
The people of Manila are delighted
at the prospect of a resumption OF
trade with the pacified provinces, and
are anxious TO show Generals Chanee.
Wheaton and Bell their appreciation
of the fact that the insurrection is
really over.
About $500 rifles have been receiv-
ed by the American officers in Batan.
gas and Laguna provinces during the
past four months. General Malvar
personally requested an interview
with General Bell in order to make his
complete submission.
The lack of news from the Island
Of Samar is due to a defective cable.
it is believed, however, that the
American commander there received
the surrender Of all the insurgents in
Samar unless the planned proceedings
were altered.
