Made His Opening Speech at

II ABINGDON VA. October Ex-senator
Thomas s. Martin made his opening
speech in the present campaign In the
courthouse here to-day. He was preceded
by former Congressman William Rhca,s
who ably discussed the tariff issue and
who made pointed references to Roose
yelttsm and tho dangerous policies OF
the President. y,
The courtroom was thronged with the
people OF the town and county and
many were turned away at3the doors than
could gain admittance AS an evidence
OF Senator Martins popularity as O pub
lie man, 4 he was kept busy this. his first
visit to washington county, receiving
a constant stream Of visitors In his room
Senator Martin was greeted with pro.
longed applause as he took the stand fol-
lowing the remarks OF Hon. Preston w,
Campbell, who introduced him. The sem
ator. said that 1t was not his purpose to
enter into personal abuse Of anyone, but
that he had a right to gcrittcise the acts
of any public official, taking the Repub-
flicans up at their assertion that the DEM
ocrats have abandoned their only issues
and there is no issue in the present cam
ipaign except the accomplishments OF the
Republican party. s5
-
erence to some of these accom- plishnents
and the methods 4 by which they were
reached, he denounced In clear and posi-
ftive terms, particularly Roosevelt's man
ner Of dealing with the Philippines and
his policy towards Colombia In gaining
the privilege to construct tho proposed
Panama Canal. He said that we had no
right In the Philippines except such as
might be- desired from the consent of the
governed, but that this principle pro-
claimed by Jefferson was being tramrled
under foot. while Roosevelt. a man who
became President by accident, was on
record as having denounced Jefferson
worthless and fraud.
Senator Martin referred t, che Presi-
dent as a strenuous warlixe individual
who would exercise his warlike procllvlty
whenever occasion might arse regardless
Of the business Of the cause. The sena-
tor criticised the President severely for
having been SO indicate as to Insist on
Cortelyou giving up a Cabinet position
to accept the management of the ca, IN
paign saying that this act alone when
the clrcum stances are considered stamp
Roosevelt as man not fit to be Presl-
dent.
Senator Martin and Judge Rhea will
speak In Giles, Russell, Wise. and Lee
counties this week, and the senator will
conclude his speech making in this end OF
the So to at Bristol Saturday night. Both
speakers urged the election OF Wysor TO
Congress from the Ninth District.
