THOSE that claim to have even a
measure of fairness in their makeup
must see how signally Governor Mon
tague has failed to "airo Senator
Martins record, as he had promised.
Those papers without fairness
will continue to laud the Governor
and decry the Senator, no matter
how much the former is proven to
have used misstatements. Mr.. Mon
tague started out with a raspinz
TRADE against Senator Martin and
brought in Senator Daniel as a side
step. Since the public, the press and
even Senator Daniel have arisen in
protest and proven the Governor a
misrepresenter he has dropped that
tack and taken another. He PLAYS

When the senator arose he was un-
able to proceed for come moments
because Of the enthusiastic demon
stration, but he stood and patiently
awaited until the enthusiasm had
vented itself.
Addressing bis audience as "My
fellow citizens" he began by stating
that ever since he was twenty-one
years of age he had devoted 6 large
share Of his time in every campaign
to the interests of the Democratic
party, and that he had always found
pleasure in appearing before the peo-
pie to discuss issues in these cam
paigns. Now, for the first time, he
said he appsared in a role which
pleased him ia no way whatever, as a
candidate for the United States Sen
ate to speak in his own behalf. He
had been twice honored by his fellow
citizens by elevation to that high
ofGce and had endeavored to so
acquit hinself in the high trust con-
fided to him as 20 merit the conf
dence and approval Of his constitu-
ents, the people of Virgins. Here

stump as a candidate for the United
