FAUQUIER POLITICS.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette]
Upper Fauquier, Aug. 6. 1903.

Upper Fauquier, Aug. 6. 1903.
There appeared an article in a
Richmond paper more than two weeks
since, written from Morrisville, claiming
that the people of Fauquier had never
forgiven Senator Martin for defeating
Gen. Fitz Lee for the U. S. Senate. and
that.the county was anti-Martin in SEN
timent. We took issue with said article
and sent our protest to the paper but it
was never published. We low appeal
to the Gazette, which is always fair to its
correspondents, to candidates and to
everybody. Said correspondent seems
to have overlooked the fact that at the
second election of the Hon. Thomas S.
5. Martin to the Senate, the Hon.
Theodore Pitcher was instructed by the
people of Fauquier to cast his vote for
Martin. Martin is today stronger
than he has ever been with our peo-
ple--made so by his splendid work
for his people and State. The only
thing that ever prejudiced our people
against Martin was the rumor that
the Senator was a railroad man. But
he has proven by his splendid career
in the Senate that he does not represent
corporations, but has been untiring in
his work for the greatest good to the
greatest number Virginia is the ablest
represented Of any of the States in the
y. S. Senate-John w. Daniel, the
far famed orator who with his elOquence
holds entranced a listening senate when
occasion demands it, and Martin not
talker, but noble worker, has
pushed bill after bill through by his I'M
failing energy, which has proven Of
untold benefit to his State Beyond all
question Senator Martin will be re-
turned to the Senate, and Fauquier will
do her part towards that end.
The primary election will take place
in this county on the 22nd day Of
August Rucker and Lewis are making
close canvass for their respective in
terests as candidates for hoater. Hon.
NJ. NJ. Green will be returned without
opposition to the House of Delegates.
The triangular fight, between Messrs.
Frank Blackwell, Alexander Hamilton
and John Z. Olinger is growing in
interest, daily. All of them are high
toned gentlemen and are conducting
their canvass Oh a high plain. Each OF
them has a strong following and it is
not safe, as yet, to predict the outcome.
Whilst our people as rule admire our
new constitution they deplore the fact
that under its provisions Judge G.
NJ. White will go out Of Office January
lst. 1904. The Judge will 60 out with
an honorable record as jurist and gentle
man. He has a great number Of warm
personal friends in the county who will
see that when he retires from the bench
he be not forgotten. Anything within
the gift of our people will be bis
for the asking.

ARMY OF PHILIPPINES
TO MEET IN ST. LOUIS
Time and Place for Meeting
Selected by the Survivors
Yesterday


st. Paul. Mimi. Sept 2.--The army
Of the Philippines held a two hour ses-
sion and selected st. Louis as the
place for the next annual reunion. In
an address of some length General
Irving Hale delivered a eulogy on the
work of the army in the Philippines.
General Hale scored a hit in his ad-
dress when he declared that the ma
tional society of the army Of the Phil
ippines we're here to stay and that IL
must never allow itself TO be absorbed.
He said:
"An important matter for our con-
sideration is the relation Of this So
ciety to the several other societies OF
the Spanish-American war. We must
cooperate with them so far as possible,
and no doubt many of them will COM
bine with others. But it must be un-
derstood that we must never merge
this society into any other. II has a
distinctive character and is destined 10
live and grow ip American history
The name of General Charles King
is frequently suggested for president
of the society. Lieutenant MacRae, OF
Council Bluffs. is also prominently
mentioned for the presidency.
Letters from President Roosevelt
General Miles and Admiral Dewey were
read.
