Reply To Voter.

Mr.. Editor:-In the columns of your
valuable paper of last week, the fol-
lowing query was presented: Was the
Hon. Joseph E. Willard, one OF the
candidates for the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor opposed TO the
Jim Crow law, and did he use ms
influence against the passage OF the
same? Please permit me as one who
believes in fair play, to answer the
above query propounded by that EN-.
briotic politician who signed himself
"Voter." To start with, desire to
take "Voter' through the kinder
garten course and answer his query
by asking him a few questions.
list. Are you Claude Swanson sup
porter? H.
End. If so, did you PROFOUND the
above query to further the cause OF
Claude at Willards expense?
3rd. Why did Swanson play 'nigger
on the fence" when asked by the
Anti-Saloon League to state whether or
not he was in favor of the Mann bill?
4th. Do you know that during Swan
| sons five terms in Congress he has
never presented a resolution in favor
of temperance? 1t is so my boy.
5th. Do you know that Swanson
represents a district in Congress (and
has for four or five terms) that is
normally democratic, and yet nearly
every county in his district went
| soildlv republican in the last guberna-
torial election, although Claude says
he acted magnanimously toward Mon
tague during the last gubernatorial
contest?
9th. Do you know that Swanson
went to Europe long before the gen.
eral election of that year?
18th. Don't you remember that at
the Norfolk Convention, after Mon
tague had received the nomination
lover Swanson, Swanson made a
speech in which he said, that the man
who could not suffer defeat did not
| deserve to enjoy victory, and that he
would promise the Convention that
| his old fifth Congressional District
would poll up a good majority for the
nominee? My young friend, for the
fear that you can't remember, l want
to tell YOU that the man Swanson OF
today is the same man who made the
speech in the Norfolk Convention
who went to Europe shortly afterwarc
and allowed his district to go republl'
can against Montague. .,
Sth. Did you ever hear of Bill
| Shakespeare or his works? You know
Bill said that "brevity is the soul Of
wit" Now with Bill's old proverh
always on your tongue just tell them
when they say that Joe Willard was
p opposed to the Jim Grow law, or uset
: his influence against it, lit is no
=, true and the Journal of the House
of Representatives of Virginia vii

SATURDAY, July 30, 1905.
Entered at tie Postofice at Accomsc C' ID
Va, as second class matter.

Chairman Ellyson in a recent letter
TO Governor A. J. Montague, candi-
date for United States Senator, an
swers questions propounded by the
governor and explains the primary
election law. The law, as he inter
prets it, gives each candidate voted
for the privilege of having one friend
within the room where the election Is
being conducted, to remain until after
the completion of the count OF the
vote and the certification OF the re-
suit. This is all right but ought not
to be necessary. The officers selected
to conduct the election should be sc
free from bias that fair count viii
be assured, whether favorable to the
candidate of their choice or not. The
better way, perhaps, in order that
they may be above suspicion, is tC
have each candidate, as far as posi-
BILE, represented by some one conduct
ing the election. Surely all of the Of
ficers ought not to be partisans of any
candidate.
