June 10, 1905.
My fellow citizens of Mathews and
MiddleseX counties:
Having an ambition to represent YOU
in the House of Delegates of Virginia,
l thus announce my candidacy and
earnestly solicit your cordial support.
If you shall believe that, in the event
of my nomination and subsequent cleo
ton, will make you an honest, capa-
bic and courteous Legislator, I res
pectfuIly request that you cast your
votes for me at the approaching Demo-
cratic primary. And in turn, be1iev-
ing as do in equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" I pledge
myself, in my official capacity, toknow
neither friend nor foe, nor ask the pol
tiles of any man, but to labor solely,
as shall see it, in the interest of such
wholesome measures as shall best tend
to advance the moral well-being, pro-
mote the prosperity and increase the
happiness of the toll worn masses of
the people of my district.
I scorn the political supple-jaclx and
despise the double dealing ofgum-shoe
partizans. l shall enter into no COM
binatiOn of any description in order to
win votes. AS has been my custom
from my youth up, shall continue to
wear nc mans collar but my own, be-
lieving that in politics, as out of it, to
use homely phrase, leach tub should
stand on its own bottom and each her
ring hang by its own tail"

ton as we fail to get closer to the
working people and to understand bet

our country cease to be the land of
the free and the home of the brave"
and become instead, the land of the
Serf and the home of the Slave.
To my record in Office as the recent
Treasurer of Mathews County, point
with laudable pride and cite it as a
bundant evidence of my fidelity in pre-
serving untarnished Il Public Trust
committed to my keeping.
In an active canvas of both Counties,
it is my desire to meet the people, and
my purpose to then discuss before
them those great questions that so Wit

that the Supreme Council had de-
cided to raise the rate of assess
ment upon the members
new order, which will be
I'VE on October 1, 1905, pro-
&Heskhat members who are six
ty-five years of age and over
should pay as much as $I6.oS per
month for $1,000 policies.
There are a great many men,
bers of the order in this city, and
they discussed the matter serious
ly with one another last night.
1t is believed by some that the
order will lose thousands of mem
bers by the move, and yet it is
held by others that the action of
the Supreme Council was neces-
sary to take care of the policy
holders for the future.
In addition to the increase of
the assessments of members over
siXty-five years of age, an entirely
new schedule has been promul
gated for all classes of members,
making a graduated increase all
along the line. There are four
alternative propositions in the
new table, but in each of them
the member finds that the cost of
carrying the insurance is a good
deal higher than heretofore.
For instance, a member hold
ing $1,000 policy, on attaining
the age of sixty-five, must pay
$I6.O8 a month or resort to some
of the options. which are little
more satisfactory from a none
tary standpoint. Every member
initiated prior to October I, 1905,
is granted the privilege of six
months from October I, 1905, or
until March 81, to decide which
of the four options he will select,
or whether he will continue to
pay assessments as named in the
table of regular rates adopted
May, 1905. Every member OF
the order i'll good standing on the
first day of October, 1905, select
ing the regular table of rates. will
be required to pay assessments in
future, at his attained age on said
first day of October, 1905, COM
puted from his nearest birthday.
Illustration; A member who join
ed the order at the age of twenty
five and has been a member, say
for fifteen years, will pay assess
ments after October I, 1905, as
at the age of forty years, and con-
tinue to pay the assessment at
age forty until he reaches sixty
five years af age. when he will
pay assessment at sixty-five as
long as he remains a member.
Gentlemen high up in the order
said that they were not greatly
surprised at the action of the Su-
preme Council. as the matter had
been under advisement for at
least two years. Again it is known
that other orders run on a SINH
lar basis have taken like action in
order to protect their members.
Said one of the Arcanumites:
Something had to be done.
While it is true that we have
a reserve fund Of $500, 900. 900, it
is, nevertheless, true that it was
found that we had started out
with our basis too low, and as
sessments had to be raised for the
benefit of our members.
We had to look to the future,
and have no doubt the mem
bers of the Supreme Council saw
that in the end we would run a.
ground. unless some steps were
taken.
There are about 5000 members
of the order in Virginia.
The matter has created some
thing of stir among the mem
bers of the order.-Times-Dis-
patch.
