FLOOD ON POLITICS

Strong Candidate For President
Says Patteson IS For Martin and
Thinks Viva voee Voting is Un-
popular.
Congressman Flood. Oi Virginia, in an
interview in Washington " sayr:
1T seems 20 be all tiorman; the tide is
running his way. think be will get the
nomination. That is the way il looks
t0 ~ in Virginia hope too, that the
nominee will be German lie il the man
that suits our people. With him at the
head Of the ticket, we could make great
fight.
County politics are absorbing much
oi the attention in our state just at
present have recently noted one
lnteresting feature in that connection;
that II the aversion 10 viva wore voting.
You know the primaries for the nomina-
tion Of thess county officers j. made an
exception % the general law and there Is
no secret ballot The people in every see.
ton are very emphatic in their disapprOy-
al OI the system 10y which one steps up
10 the polls AID announces thecandidate
OF ones choice 40 that ali in the vicinity
can hear. They don't like to vote ia that
way. especially when they want to vote
against some one who is q neighbor.
what about the attitude of the Demo
cratic candidate for the State senate just
nominated in your district wasa ques-
ton put to Mr. Flood.
Il see the Montague forces are claiming
Mr. Camm PattesOn. the nominee for the
state senate, "a their man was the re-
ply. "ln that am convinced they are
entirely mistaken. know that Mr. Pate
son wrote hundreds OF letters to voters
in that senatorial district, declaring in
enthufiastic terms that he was Tor
Martin. He wrote four letters To me,
breathing that same spirit, all OF which
makes me iism in the conviction that the
governors friends are mistaken. No fight
was made in the senatorial district one
way or the other rs 20 the reelection Oh
Senator Martin, but If Mr.. Patteson had
come out as an anti-Martin man he would
have been beaten by 700 votes.
"Mr. Martin is very strong IN that sen.
atorial district. They are alive there TO
his splendid record and to his diligence
in working early and late for the inter
eats of our State That impression OF the
Junior Senator Is rapidly increasing all
over Virginia. The grow tn OF sentiment
in his favor had been marked in places
where his friends have recognized that
he has been weak"

Poughkeepsie N. Y. Aug. 12.- A
stranger who has been stopping at the
Morgan House since Saturday, aDDar-
emily suffering from complete loss OF
memory as to his own identity, was
identified as DR.. Harry p. Cate, pro-
prletor of sanitarium in Lakewood,
n. j., who disappeared on April Il
last. On that day he went TO New York
with several thousand dollars, and from
that time all trace Of him was lost.
Since then he has been wandering

the weather. His clothes are good, and
he says he has been buying new cloth
ing whenever necessary. He says that
the only places ne can remember being
in we're st. Louis and Kansas City, al
though he has Travelled, he says, through
a great many places.

DR.. Cate apparently did not recognize

ing to him. He remembers everything
that has happened since Saturday, but
his memory is practically a blank on
all before that date. He does not even
remember that he has been doctor.
