POLITICAL.

The Southside Sentinel (Urbanna)
announced last week its intention
to support Willard for Governor and
Montague as against Martin for u.
S. Senator. ss.
AT meeting of the Negro Iudus-,
trial Society in Richmond recently
1T was decided to raise So 900 in Or
der to bring test case on the valid
ity of the new State Constitution be.
fore the United States Supreme
Court.
Brewer Niedringhaus, although
the caucus nominee of Missouri Re
publicans for the U. S. Senate, may
not reach the goal. There is disaf.
lection over the scandals and bribery
connected with his name, and mem.
6ers of the Legislature are boiling
the caucus action. The Legislature
is in deadlock.
Republicans and others are max
ing common talk in political circles
that the State stands fine chance to
go Republican on the governorship
in case Judge Mann is nominated.
They say the democrats VINO are op-
posed to him will either vote for the
Republican nominee or stay away
from the poles. This last assertion
Is stretching predictions too far.
1t may be that Judge Mann's candi-
dacy IS premature and will defeat
the good aims of the Virginia Anti
Saloon League, but it is not presumed
for moment that the Swanson and
Willard Democrats would desert the
nominee even if that nominee be
Judge Mann: There might be a
great deal of apathy-and apathy
proved itself dangerous secret foe
last fall.

Upon the questions of indemnity
M. Witte says:
I'VE cannot pay Japan indemnity,
1t is impossible. If Japan would use
the money to buy diamonds, clothes,
other good things for her people, 1t
would be one thing, but Japan will
use our money to buy"
NJ. Witte hesitated a moment, and
added ships and other things.
Japan could not have made this
war il she had not obtained an indem-
nifty of about s20O,OOO.OOo from China.
If she gets an indemnity from us
she will use 1t as she used the indem-
nifty from China; in twenty-five years
she will make war with some other
country.

sacrifices. The powers are alarmed
lest all Europe may become EN-.

last night that the time for compro.
