LOCAL ISSUES IN A NUT SHELL

II some of the mountebank whoopers
Tor Mr.. Jones here think they can helr
their man and sregain lost prestige in
the county by misrepresentation and
confusing issues, sure they are welcome
to all they think coming to them. The
CITIZENS editor has in no sense made
himself or his paper an issue, and
whether Mr.. Jones carries Lancaster
or not it does not indicate fiuctuation in
this paper or its editors fortunes or
policies. The absurd and demagogic
cry, anything to down Lee," is heard
by these blatant, soldering surfs, just
as 1T was last summer. ''Lee" was no
issue then; is far less so now. With
all their haunting they have not caused
him to "shuck his coat and get into
the hot fight some are making to save
their man in his own Northern Neck.
but Is attending to his official and
private duties. He did not hesitate to
announce that he and his paper would
support Mr.. Mears, exercising the
of public man and private
citizen. Lee is not running against
Jones, and how the latter's friends can
make the editor an issue cannot be
Inquired out. by sensible people. 1t is
only raised as cry, and published
abroad In the papers, for campaign
effect in the one instance and as a
feather in Jones cap in the other in
that he should carry Lees county"
and so forth. Doubtless Mr.. Jones
himseif does not feel at all flattered or
eiated that his ill-advised henchmen
here should raise such an issue, and
most certainly the CITIZENS editor does
not relish being drawn into false
position. 1t is not his county in the
sense they impute and he is not a can
didate, and as long as he is not it is
mere buncOmbe to draw such an issue
