CANNOT WIN HERE

This generation will never wit
ness again a Republican administra-
ton in this State. The experiences
of every Southern State, extending
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande,
has been that Republican control in
any one of them is fraught with dis
turbance, disgrace, disaster and ruin.
The Repubiican party cannot point
to a single Southern State where its
rule has been beneficent or has
brought to the State blessing. Good,
honest, capable government is neither +
reminiscence nor an aspiration of
Southern Republicanism.
"The Republican candidates in
this campaign, with their new clothes
and new voices, Can practice no de-
cePtion on the Virginia people. They
are at once recognized as the same
persons who aided in writing the
worst chapters and most disgraceful
scenes in the public history of this
State"

AN ABLE EFFORT.

Congressman Lamb, in brief
speech, presented the gubernatorial
nominee, aud his remarks were
greeted with loud applause. Dir.
Swanson was in splendid form and
spoke with great vigor and earnest
ness.
In closing the speaker rose to an
eloquent climax which was in the
nature of tribute to the Democratic
party of his State, aud when he ut
tered the last word a crowd rushed to
offer their hands in congratulation.
This was the greatest day Hanover
Democrats have seen in years and the
leaders say it precurses a splendid

splendid testimonial to the charac-
ter and ability of the Virginia De-
mocracy. The Democratic party
has kept its promises to the bond
holders aud the interest upon the
public debt of Virginia has been
promptly paid. Besides, the State
has purchased out of its sinking
fund $4,276, ,665.11 of bonds, which
1t has Cancelled, and thus to that ex-
tent reduced the State debt.
CREDIT REDUCED.
"The Republicans had reduced
the State credit to the lowest of any
State in the Union. Virginia bonds
and obligations being almost worth.
less. The Democratic party by its
wisdom and honesty has elevated
Virginia credit until today Virginia
bonds stand as high as any securities
in the world, commanding as high a
price in the markets as British con.
soils. The settlement of the State
debt of Virginia by the Democratic
party was a wonderful financial
achievement, and was so Just, so fair,
so reasonable, that the bitterest ene-
mics of the party have never dared
criticise it. 1t eliminated the debt
question as a disturbing factor in
orr politics and our business. Imme-
diateiy after the settlement, there
occurred in this State business re-
vival and great industrial develop
ment and progress.
Before Democracy came into pow
er, twenty years ago, the school sys-
TEN of the State was demoralized.
Teachers had to discount their pal
try salaries, school buildings were
scarce and dilapidated-it seemed
that the great free school system was
destined to destruction and ruin.
The advent of Democracy marked a
change. Appropriations for public
schools have been increased almo st
100 per cent, good school houses
have been erected, teachers are
promptly paid, splendid aud Efficient
high schools started in villages and
towns and today u great free school
system is distributing the beneicence
of education alike to the rich and to
the poor, and to all classes and parts
of the Commonwealth. The future
gives promise that in time the schools
of Virginia will equal those of any
State In the Union.

ANSWERS REPUBLICANS.

de said he would not reply to the

traVagant claims made by Colonel
Slemp, the present boss of the Re-
publican party of this State, but
would rontine his criticism to those
who were more accurate and conser.
vative in their declarations. He said
that Colonel Slemp was very much
like former Republican politician
in Virginia, who had aptly been
described as man who "starts his
mouth working and then goes off
ard leaves IT," Under such circum.
stances, he said, he did not think i,

sponsible for his many wild utter.
ances.
Said he: "The first claim Of the
Republican party is that it is now 3
new party in Virginia; that it is moi
what 1T formerly was; that new blood
has been infused into it; that it has
attained recently new standing and
respectability. 1t points with pride
to the personnel Of the Roanoke con-
vention as an evidence of its splendid
improvement. In plaintive and
soothing voice it coufesses its great
misconduct and shortcomings of the
past, and promises to reform and dc
better in the future. l have looked
over the names of the delegates who
composed the Roanoke convention,
and have been able to find no new

vention, and those who dominated its
deliberations, were the same Repub.
lican politicians who for the last
thirty years have advocated the prin,
ciples and pursued the policies which
have made Republicanism so odious
in this State. The nominees of the
Roanoke convention are extreme radi.

FROM NEW SOURCES.

"The entirely new source of rev.
enue collected from corporations and
transportation companies under the
new Constitution, which amounted
last year to $522, ,182 66, so increased
the revenue Of this State as to en-
able Virginia to improve her schools
in every direction, give longer terms,
better salaries to the teachers, and
ultimately make the public schools
of Virginia equal to those of any
State in the Union. This new rev.
enue, which will be most beneficial
to the school aud road system of the
State, was obtained by the Demo
cratic party against the wishes and
votes of the Republican party. The
Republican party in its platform
condemns the Democratic party for
having in this State multiple list
of books, instead of single list. 1t
seems to have forgotten that during
the four years it was in power it had

GRAFT IN wAsHrNaroN.


He pointed out that the present
Republican Federal administrator
wac right aud popular only to the
extent that 1T favored Democratic
measures. He said that Rooseyelt's
advocacy of the regulation of rail-
road rates, of tariff reform and of
suppression of the trusts created by
Federal Republican legislation were
Democratic measures and he would
have to rely upon Democratic sup
port against his own party asso-
ciates for success in these matters.
He said the President had made a
good beginning aud whether praise
be accorded him or not is dependent
upon whether he persisted to the end
and fought the measures thus recon-
mended to a successful conclusion.
He then discussed the affrontery
of the Republican party IN claiming
the right of return to power in VIr-
ginia on account of the supposed
graft and corruption in the Demo
cratic party. He said that after
twenty-one years of rule in this
State all that the Republican party
could find for complaint or criticism
of the Democratic rule was that a
school official had been found inter-
ested in the profits derived from the
sale of school register and that q
clerk, Shepherd, in the Auditors
Office, had been found forging checks
and misappropristing funds amount
ing to $37,914l3. He said the
school official had been immediately

CANDIDATE OF NO FACTION.


Mr.. Swanson said he was the can
didate of no faction of the Demo
cratic party, but the nominee of a
harmonious, solid and united Democ.
racy. He expressed the pleasure he
experienced at the cordial support
that would be extended him by his
two worthy and distinguished COM
petitors In the recent primary. He
also said he wanted it distinctly un.
derstood that when he became Gov
ernor ne would be the Governor of
the entire people of Virginia, and
WELD the powers conferred upon him
to the best interest of the State and
all the people.
lie said that practically the entire
State government of Virginia-leg-
islati7e, executive and iudicial-was
involved in this campaign. That
the Legislature to be elected would
control for the next two years the
legislation of Virginia, and, in addi-
ton, would elect a United States
senator and five justices of the Court
of Appeals. He pointed out how
this election would determine wheth.

party would control the vast educa-
tional system of this State, the Cor
poration Commission, the labor and
agricultural departments, and all the
public institutions of the State. car

INTERESTING FIGURES.

He said that the Republican par
ty had obtained control of this State
under its promise to settle the State
debt and relieve Virginia from finsn-
cial distress and disorder. This was
sought to be accomplished by the en-
actment of the Riddleberger bill,
which proved a failure. A large
portion of the bondholders having
no confidence in the promises or the
integrity Of the Republican party,
refused to accept its provisions and
to exchange their bonds. Finally
the Democratic party, after repeated
conferences with the State creditors,
reached an amicable settlement with
them. This settlement made by the
Democratic party is far more favora-
bic to the State than the Riddleber-
ger act, which the creditors had re.
fused to accept. 81 have requested
the Second Auditor, Judge Dew, to

THE STANDARD BEARERS OPENING SPEECH.
Hon. c. A. Swanson Contrasts Benefits of Demo-
cratic administration With Results of
Republican MSrue.
lEstracts rron Tlmes -plspateh.l

The Democratic State campaign
was launched on historic soil Septem-
Der 18th, when the party's gallant
young standard bearer, Hon. Claude
A. Swanson, made his opening speech
within the walls OF the old Hanover
Courthouse, that once echoed with
the el, quence of Virginia's greatest
orator, Patrick Henry.
Mr.. Swanson elected to sound the
keynote of his canvass on this historic
spot not because Hanover had in
other days sent out from among her
"slasbes" Henry and Clay to con-
tribute fame aud glory to the nation s
history, but rather for the reason
that it was here, just twenty one years
ago today, that, as student at Ran
dolph- Macon college, he made he
first political fort of his life. That
was in 1884, when the Democrats
were struggling to "unhorse" Mahoue
and his allies and TO re-estabhsh
Democratic supremacy in the State.
This college student returned today,
a we'll rounded man, bearing alUft
the standard of bis party, the carry
ing of which he has long cherished
as the proudest ambition of his life.
Mr.. Swauson's speech, which con-
sumed much more than an hour, was
q powerful argument in favor of a
continuation of Democratic rule in
the State, and fearful arraignment
at times of the Republican party.
