CHATHAM, VA. Sept. 15.-The first
.,olitical speeches of the ensuing cam
raign were made here to-day. Beverly
a. Davis, Republican nominee for Con-
gress from this district, mounted box
on the court green and began speaking
TO a fairly good crowd of whites and
blacks. His speech was devoted almost
exclusively to the Constitutional Conven-
ton and the new Constitution, which he
said would not lessen taxes. as claimed,
but would add to the burden now being
carried by the soil tillers and laboring
people Mr. Davis referred to Mr.. Swan
son several times. and his excuse for not
meeting him in joint debate was because
His Excellency, Governor Montague
would not during the gubernatorial cam
paisn.
After Mr.. Davis had been discussing
past issues for nearly an hour it was an
r7ounced that Congressman c. A Swan
son would speak in the courthouse, and
Immediately the crowd began to flow in,
leaving Mr.. Davis with a small crowd OF
whites and blacks, the latter being in the
majority, whose votes in the coming cleo
ton will be numbered with figures of
small denomination.
M 6 p son spoke for about an hour
nd a half to a large and enthusiastic
audience Taking up at this juncture
ne course Of Mr.. Davis in the Constitu

.ad done more to injure the negro than
he had done for the race, and that he
could say more behind his (Swanson's)'
back and less to his (Swanson's) face
than any man he had ever come In con-
tact with.
Mr.. Swanson then took up his past re-
cord in Congress- proving that he was
the second Southern Congressman ap-
pointed on the Ways and Means Commit
tee In the past thi-ty-ive years and that
he had done more for his district in the
way of rural free delivery than any con-
gresham in the State. and that he was
