Republican leaders in the State are
asserting that the next Governor OF
Virginia will be republican, and an
nounce that District Attorney L. l..
Lewis will be the candidate, who will
bear their banner to victory. To that
end "red hot" campaign, it is stated,
is to be made under the leadership OF
Secretaries Shaw and Taft and other
leading lights in the Republican party
1t may be that the President too,
while occupying his temporary resi-
dence in Virginia, will be expected to
put in some ticks for the 6. o. p, but
it is safe to predict that the evils OF
republicanism, however savory the
flesh pots they may have to offer, can
not be so disguised, as to make many
Virginians forget the duty they owe
to the old Commonwealth. Certainly
not enough to endanger Democratic
supremacy in the State.

SATURDAY, July l, 1905.
Kntered at tie Postoffice at Accomse " h'
va. as second class matter.

Governor Montague will be at Ac-
comac c. II. next Monday court day,
and as will be noted by an article in
another column, has been called upon
bv the "Drummondtown Martin Club"
to answer some queries propounded
by its members.
In submitting them it is pleasure
to us to be able to say, that the Gov
ernor will not only answer these ques-
tions but any others which may be
brought to his notice on that day and
so satisfactorily, we believe, that
everyone who hears him will be con-
WINGED that there is nothing in the
charges which have been made
against him. Mr.. Montague, at least
having been always willing to trust
the people, recognizes their right to
call upon him to give an account OF
his stewardship, and will, without
lodging tell them anything they want
to know about his official career
whether or not they approve it. He
will not only answer the charges out
will, doubtless, have many other
things to say of interest to the people
of Accomac and all we ask Of them as
one of his supporters is to come out
on that day and hear what he has to
say, and having heard him, we be-
lieve, large majority of the voters
of the county will be convinced that
it is their duty to give him their sup
port.
The day promises to be an interest
ing one too for the reason, that two
of the candidates for governor, Hon.
Claude A. Swanson and Lieutenant
Governor JOS. A. Willard and, prob
ably, Judge VIM. H. Mann will be
present, and we ought to want to
hear them if we wish to vote intelli-
gently in making selection between
them.
1t is not only your privilege to come
out on Monday and hear the distin-
guished speakers but your duty to dc
so, if you would arrive at your own
conclusion as to the candidates best
entitled to your support and would
vote for them not to please your
friends but in the exercise of your
duty as a freeman according to your
own convictions.

Letters From the People.

Mr.. Editorials one of the support
ers of the Montague forces on the
Eastern Shore, you asked in your edi-
torial column just prior to Senator
Martins visit here May Court, that he
Senator Martini answer certain ques-
tons rejecting upon his official life.
AS his supporters we frankly told him
the charges against him and request
him to reply to them in his speech.
The result, of course, is well remem-
bered by all present that day. In ad-
dition, he invited others to criticise
his private as well as his official life.
Now we call upon you to be equally
honest with us. Governor Montague
will be here court day and if he has
any answers to make to the following
questions we think it but right that
his attention be called specifically to
them and opportunity given to put
himself straight before the voters;
Why did he as Governor refuse to
sign the Bill placing the statue OF
Gen. Lee in Statuary Hall? Why did
he approve the Bill removing the jail
penalty from violators of the Sunday
Liquor Law? Why did he pardon two
men from Jail in Elizabeth City Coun-
ty sent there orkeeping a crap game,
the lowest form of gambling?
Why did he continue III the
employ of the Southern Rail Road
where he was District Attorney and
as such officer was required to sue
railroads for violations of the Inter
State commerce law? Did he collect
mileage from the government at the
same time he was riding on passes
from the railroad?
If private and official employment
are not incompatible why did he re-
sign from the railroads employ the
very day he was nominated for Attor-
ney General?
