Democratic nominee for State Senate
from this the 18th, Senatorial District,
composed OF the counties oil Spotsyl
Louisa, Stafford and city of Fredericks-
burg. is Outin a card this week announc-
ing his platform, which we can commend

Judge Sims, as one OF the judges OF our
old County Court, made a reputation for
himself to be enyied by all. As an officer
in financial institution, the success oil
which has been phenomenal, Is an as
surance OF his business ability. As a
public-sprited man, he has devoted his
time and money to the development and
advancement of his town and county,
and this with an honesty and integrity OF
purpose of which any man would be
proud. We want good roads, We want
good schools, and we want good laws to
enable us TO get them, and after getting
them, maintain them.
In Judge Sims we have found, with am
pie proof of his ability, lawyer, iurist,
organizer, business man and public
spirit that showsitself in the great strides
ahead our town and county is making.
As be has been at home, so will he be In

knowledge and business ability pushing
forth every energy for the betterment OF
his State, and especially his, the 18th
Senatorial District, loyal to the Demo-
cratic party, but upon strictly business
principles backed by sound laws,
10 our sister counties We commend
him and to the city OF fredericksburg,
where he is well known, that we may
only ask that same support Tor Judge
Sims that old Louisa has given to Stat
ford's honored son, g. NJ. Wallace, and
we need have no fear but in our next

who will show to them that same per

welfare as he has always shown at home.
