introduced in the Senate, and that body
passed an election law. which, had it
been passed by the House, would have
accomplished nearly as much as did the
suffrage plan of the new Constitution
and would almost have obviated the ne
cessity of a requirement for the prepay
ment of the poll tax as prerequisite to
sUffrange There was other features which
made the plan almost like that adopted
by the convention after months of travail
and debate That it did not pass is at
tributable solely to the fact that both
bodies had passed the bill for conven-
ton before the LeCato bill was reached
by the House.
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
In 1901 DR.. LeCato was a candidate sfor
acknowledgements. but despite his long
service in the State Senate and the ear
nest plea for his nomination made in the
convention by his Congressman, the able
and eloquent Hon. William a. Jones, he
was defeated. the slate as nominated hav-
ing been made up. DR.. LeCato was. how
ever. reelected to the Senate for the third
time and had served less than q year
when his health failed
/. Personally, DR.. LeCato is a most IOvabIe
man. he is not an orator, and. indeed,
makes no pretentions as public speaker.
which he prosecuted successfully for many
years, he was also a thinker and student
of other subjects, and as q Legislator is al
ways a wise and prudent counselor.
ADVOCATED PRISON REFORM.
He took great interest in the prisons and
asylums Of the State, and was always an
advocate of more humane and hygienic
prisons. In behalf Of public education.
he takes broad. liberal view. and is one
of the foremost advocates of that cause
in the State.
It must be admitted. however. that DR..
44eCato felt a great deal of pride in the
Board of Fisheries. and it was with his
advice that the personnel of the board
was first selected When Governor Monta-
que came to make up the new board. it
was the earnest wish of DR.. LeCatO that
DR.. Frank Fletcher. the Old president of
the board, and an authority on the oyster
question. might be reappointed. 1t was
a great and keen appointment to him
that this was not done.
The illness of this widely-known Virgin
ian is rendered particularly sad by the fact
that only a few months ago he was most
happily married.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1902-10-26

conforming the statute laws to the new
Constitution AS chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Institutions and Education
he would be Of great value to the Senate.
For four years he was chairman Of the
l-enate Committee on Fish and Game. and
is now second on that committee. being
superseded in the craftsmanship by Sena-
tor Keezell, by appointment Of Lieutenant
Governor Willard last year.
During his craftsmanship of that COM
mittee he performed Il great service to
the State in removing the oyster question
from legislation by the provision of a
bill creating the Board of Fisheries, as a
result Of the operation of which this great
industry has been made profitable to the
Commonwealth, whereas it was formerly
a source OF constant worry and expense.
If he had done nothing else, DR.. LeCato
had earned the gratitude of the people OF
Virginia by this one service.
HIS SERVICES IN THE SENATE.
DR.. LeCato entered the Senate at the
session of 1S93-1S94, having been chosen to
succeed Hon. J. w. G. Blackstone, elect
ed to the judiciary. During his first term
he impressed his colleagues with his abil-
ity and with his mastery of the perplexing
oyster problem.
Upon his reelection in 1897, Lieutenant-
Governor Echols, his former colleague in
the Senate, placed him at the head Of the
Committee on Fish and Game, and it was
while in this position that he perfected
and secured the passage Of his bill Great
ing the Board of Fisheries. He has rem
dered other and valuable services to the
State, and has proved himself prudent
counselor on every occasion.
OFFERED AN ELECTION BILL.
I. is worthy of note that in the same
session at which the General Assembly
passed the bill to submit to the people the
question of calling convention to revise
and amend the Constitution, DR.. LeCato

with. His address was q splendid piece
of workmanship, full of the sentiment
for which the popular Virginian is noted
and appealed to the veterans and the
crowd-at-large. Many were heard to re-
nlarn that General Lee never appeared
to better advantage than on the occasion
Of his address yesterday afternoon He
was repeatedly applauded during his ad-
dress. His well rounded periods and
graceful fights OF speech captivated his
hearers.
The crowd in attendance yesterday after
noon was not so large as is usually found
at Hollywood on Memorial Day, although
the day was an ideal one for an open air
crowd. AT the same time, all the avail
