SWANSON IN LOUISA.
The first political meeting of the
campaign was held in Louisa Mon
day, when Congressman Swanson
appeared before the people and in
clear language discussed his position
as candidate for Governor. The
square was filed with enthusiastic
people. In every word he showed
his enthusiasm for the better edu-
cation of all classes of citizens. He
promised his earnest support for bet
ter educational facilities. He recog
nized the fact that better roads are
needed in Virginia aud said that il
he were elevated to the high dignity
OF the governorship, ne would GER
trinity support and give to the county
OF Louisa the better roads she needs.
"Let me have q chance and | will
give you what you want" he declared
Such enthusiasm was never shown in
this old county.
Whereas Lieut. Governor Willard
seemed to be the favorite before,
there was such a change of feeling
that Mr.. Swanson seems to be the
choice or the people now.

SWANSON MAKES FINE SPEECH
congressman Speaks to q Splendid
Audience In Charlotte.

Congressman Claude A. Swanson
addressed the people at Charlotte
Courthouse Tuesday, May 2ud, max.
ing a fine speech. He was intro
dnced by Delegate b. ID. Adams. In
his Introductory remarks he express
ed pleasure in being in the historic
county. In announcing his candi-
dacy for the governorship he declared
it to be the highest gift in the power
OF the people to bestow.
Mr. Swanson said if the people
think another can perform the duties
OF the office better than he, they
should not vote for him. He would
not say anything against his oppo-
nents-does not know how to sling
mud. He is a Democrat, because he
believes in its principles. He said
he believes it is in the hearts of the
people to elect him Governor. He
said he is the candidate of no fac
ton. He referred to his twelve years
record in Congress and challenged an
examination of it.
Mr.. Swansea said the first need Of
the State is great business revival
He said no people have greater nat
ural advantages than the people of
Virginia, and she needs to push her
self to the front.
If elected Governor, Mr.. Swanson
said lie would seek the interests of
the State in the appointment of the
Corporation Commission. He said
he wants to be Governor because it
was his early ambition-not for
the social frivolities. He advocated
longer school terms and better
schools-believes in single text book
list. He believes his experience rs
pupil and teacher better fit him to
understand the needs of public
schools. The change of school books
should be as quickly as possible but
gradually.
Mr.. Swanson said good roads were
a pet hobby of his. The speaker
said the best way to get good roads
is to get Federal State aud local aid.
Labor and money are needed. The
convicts should be worked on the
public roads. He believes as mncb
money should be given inland coun-
ties as seacoast counties obtain from
the Federal government.
lie thinks the State would do well
to eler't him Governor and get the
advantage of his experience on the
ways aud means committee of Con-
gress. If elected Governor Mr..
Swanson said he would see to it that
Virginia will be the first State to get
Federal aid for public roads. He
said he is a friend of the Coufeder-
ate soldier and thinks the Sta.e
should be liberal towards him.
The speaker spoke earnestly in al :
vocacy of the Barksdale pure elect
ion law and said there should be a
strict and honest enforcement of this
law. He said the rich man should
have no more power than his char
acter and worth entitled him to. He
said he made no fight on riches, and
sees no money being used in the
campaign, but if he does he will
not hesitate to expose it.
Mr.. Swanson closed in beautiful
tribute to the State and her illustri-
Gus sons. Mr.. Swanson's speech was
we'll received by the large audience.

sert that more partridges are de-
