CURLETT AND LYELL REPLY

Questions were propounded to our
legislative candidates by Rev. G.
I. Bradley, jr., of White Stone, who
is chairman of the special committee
OF the Anti Saloon League for the
Northern Neck. Following are the
replies;
REV. G. Y. BRADLEY:
DEAR SR-Yours of the 9TH instant re-
ceived.
In answer to your questions / submit
the following:
TO the first: ''Do you oppose the repeal
or any emasculation of the Mann law?''
Answer do.
Second-"Are you in favor OF dispen-
sary measures?" Answer-I am not:
Thirtl-"Would You be willing to per-
iect our anti-blind tiger laws by increas-
ing the penalty for violation, thus MAX
ing these laws more effective?" Answer
am, to the extent of making penalty
sufficient to cure the evil and still not be
so severe as to create IA sentiment or
sympathy for the violator, which would
eventually nullify the law.
Very respectfully,
JOHN CURLETT.
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1905-08-18

IN deserting good man you once
supported and who your represent
atives in Norfolk tacitly agreed was
worthy of the honor this year and
virtually promised themselves, unso-
licited, to stand by him. No Anti.
Saloon law, written or unwritten,
aud no tenet it possesses, obliga ties a
member to select one temperance
man as against another. No man
who signed the petitions in favor OF
the Mann Bill obligated himself to
vote for Judge Mann for Governor
oy doing 50, and it is all stuff FOL
anybody to try to make you believe it.
AS THE primary draws near, the
ptter futility of Governor Monta.
gue's candidacy becomes apparent.
The argument throughout the can.
vass has been on the side of his OBJ
ponent. The Governor has pointed
to no vote or official act of Senator
Martin during his ten years in the
Senate and charged that it was not
promotive of the best interests of the
people. Neither the Governor nor any
friend has pointed to asingle achieve.
ment of his materially beneficisl to
the people of the State. While At
torney-General, he devoted most of
his time electioneering for the Office
of Governor, and since he has been
Governor he has devoted most of his
time to electioneering for the Office
OF Senator. In his campaign against
Martin he has devoted himself to
disparaging criticisms, abuse and
epithets, and to the discussion of
matters having no logical or proper
relation to the duty of selecting a
Senator. He has discussed the pri-
mary, which is not an issue and can
not be made an Issue, as the "junior
senator" is as much in favor of it as
he is. 1t rs true he opposed it st
tue Roanoke convention, when it was
presented In an unfair shape, and at
a time when it was impossible to per.
feet it. Mr.. Jones was then the pa

ed 1t, and it was adopted in the (so-
called Martin) State convention on
his motion. 1t IS absurd for the
Governor to try to make it an issue
now. His talk about the "machine"
Is ludicrous when Martin has abso-
Iutely no patronage whatever aud
the Governor has appointees in every
county and city doing his bidding
aud managing his Canvass.

/. The Word Dragging"

The word "ragging' is more common
In England than in this country, even
if the custom is not. An English paper
asserts that "rag" is not slang word,
but is a real old verb, also to be found
in use among Icelanders, meaning to
banter or irritate In Lincolnshire and
doubtless other counties to provoke q
boy is called getting his rag out"
"Bullyrag" is an elaboration Of the ele-
mentary term, and here also the mean
ing is clear. A ragamuftin originally
meant a kind of demon.
