SENATOR MARTIN AND n1R. HAY
They Spoke Last Night to the Luray
People.

They Spoke Last Night to the Luray
People.
LURAY, VA October 6.-(special)-
There was a good turnout tonight to
hear the speeches delivered at the court
house by Senator Thomas S. Martin and
Hon. James Hay.
Senator Martin was the first speaker,
and for one and a half hours he held
the close attention of his audience. He
defended the new Constitution, and said
that it was not the purpose to- deprive
any self-respecting white man of his
vote but that the object of the suffrage
clause was to eliminate the negro as a
factor in Virginia politics
The Senator next devoted his atten-
ton to national issues and at some
length discussed the three related sub
jccts of the trusts, the tariff. and Cuban
reciprocity, and in a convincing way
showed the inconsistency in President
Roosevelt's position and the futility of
the remedies proposed by him to control
the trusts, which were created by the
protective tariff policy of the Republi-
can party.
One of the strongest portions of Sena-
tor Martins speech was that in which
he contrasted the position of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties on the
Cuban reciprocity bill. which passed the
lower house of Congress with an amend
ment which removed the differentia1 tar
if duty on refined sugar, but which the
Republicans of the Senate refused to pass
in it's amended form.
In a forcible manner Senator Martin
declared that the only effective way to
control the trusts was through the tax
ing power Of the government, and a re-
vision of tariff duties. and that the only
hope for this relief was through the
Democratic party. which favored a re-
vision of the tariff along just and equi-
table lines. The Democrats were not free
traders. as their enemies charged. With
the present requirem ents of the govern
ment. free trade was impracticable.
Following Senator Martins address,
Congressman Hay delivered a brief but
earnest and forcible speech, dealing with
the issues of the day and giving some
account of the efficient work rendered in
the Senate in behalf of the State of Vir-
ginia and her people by the speaker who
had just preceded him.
Both speakers were literally applauded.
There were some ladies present, and they
seemed to enjoy the speeches very much.

the belief Of your correspondent that' Win

times throughout the State. It is Surprls-
ing to see the apathy shown by the white
people in most of the counties OF the
State. I well remember that before the
Constitutional Convention completed us
work there was a great cry from all over
Virginia for fear lest the convention
would not eliminate the negro as poiitl-
cal factor. This has been very effectively
done. and the laws by which a citizen

The farmers here are having hard
time on account of the rain. Much good

We have had a fine time for breaking

have settled here and land has advanced
more than 100 per cent in the last few

bothered us except when we think OF our

OF attending the fairs we once had in
