GOV. Montague Sending Out Letters.

That the senatorial campaign is on
now in earnest, is evidenced by the fact
that Gov. Montague has ssued let
ter to the people. 1t is as follows:
MY Dear Sir-In September, 1908,
every Democratic voter OF Virginia
will have his first opportunity to vote
directly for United. States senator.
The member of the lower house of con-
gress is the only Federal official now
elected by the people. Neither presi-
dent, nor judge, nor postmaster, nor
collector of the revenue, nor marshal,
nor any other official is so elected.
ssThis distinct reform to which L
have devoted my conviction and my
thought for some years past. The cleo
| ton of senators bV the people at once
gives every voter tue power equal TO
that OF any other voter, and removes
the evil incident to mass meetings or
legislative caucuses, wherein the ener-
gy of the politician is of far more
weigh than the patriotism and intel
ligence of the citizen.
ITO this popular tribunal L snail
submit my name for the position OF
United States Setator to succeed MI
Martin and l would be pleased to have
your consideration and approval OF
my candidacy.
IF elected, l shall strive not only te
represent Virginia Gin whose behalf d.
lattorney general and subsequently al
governor, l have done whatever M
affection could prompt and ability
perfOrm1 j, but | shall also participate
in the consideration and disposal O
questions affecting the internal ant
. external relations of our republic.
while shall neglect no pr:
interest, yet shall endeavor to dis
charge every duty of an American
senator, and in doing the latter Viz
t ginia g interests will be best subserv
/ ed. I shall co operate with my col
= leagues in renewing the vigor of IN
party, not only in the defeat of harm
full measures, but by the enactmen
d of affirmative and constructive leglsl;

The W ar.

While it is believed the Russian war
council at its meeting yesterday con-
sidersd the question of peace, an
nouncement was made that the war
would be continued. The action of the
French bankers, however, in deciding
to postpone issue of the proposed new
Russian loan indefinitely because OF
the uncertainties of the war situation
10 considered significant. In some
quarters the bankers' action is cOnsid-
cred evidence that Russia has reached
the end of her resources. 1t is reported
that the French government has mott
fed the bankers that they must not
conclude the loan unless Russia is pre-
pared to negotiate peace. The Rus
sian Foreign Office, however, insists
that Russia has not the slightest idea
of Deace.
Field Mars hal Oyama, according to
Tie Pass correspondent, does not ap-
pear to be pressing his advantage in an
lIQIueuldOc AbUdCh upOu ouaL pOstoiOh,
but the Russians fear the reported wide
turning movement of the Japanese,
who have the great advantage OF sew
eral bases and lines of supply. Kuro-
patkin is now sole dependent upon one
base and one line Of communication.
He must remove his supplies from Tie
Pass if he plans retiring to Hardin, as
there are no stores laid up between
those two points. The greater part Of
the retreating Russians have reached
Tie Pass.
Two American army officers, sup
posed to be MAJOR Macomb and Captain
Judson, were with the Russians cap
tured near Mukden.

The land formerly belonged to Phil
lips father, Rev. Robert Phillips,

crop this year Hans Mo got out an in
junction restraining the Phillips peo-
pie from interfering with him in the
cutting and threshing. When court
opened here on Wednesday Mo submit
TED an affidavit to the effect that he
had been interfered with by Fred B.
Phillips, and asked that the latter be
punished for contempt. The testimony
of Mo was offered and Judge Weber
adjudged Phillips guilty of contempt
and imposed the fine iof $3.50, or six
months in Jail.
