MARION COLLEGE D [: J |:
Mr.. Flood Delivers Annual Ad
dress Before Palladians
Society.
Especial to The Times-Dispa tch.)

MARION, VA, May 2s.-The audito-
rum Of the new courthouse was a scene
OF beauty this morning on the occasion
OF the annual literary address before the
Palladium Literary Society! Of Marion Coz
lege. Tho speaker was Hon. 81. ..
Flood, Congressman from tho tenth DIS :
trict. Mr.. Flood was introduced by Judge
George W. Richardson, chairman OF the
Board OF Trustees Of the College, and
delivered polished address. which de-
lighted the large audience. He dwelt IN
eloquent manner upon the marvellous de-
velopment OF Virginia since the war ana
paid touching tributes to the women OF
the Old Dominion. The address abounded
In classical illusions and poetical and
philosophical quotations. from which the
speaker drew valuable lessons. suitable
to the hour.
rather remarkable fact connected
with this occasion is that two OF the
recent speakers before the Palladian So
c!ety on the occasion OF its annual cee-
bratIons have been elected to the COVER
norship OF the State shortly after their
addresses were delivered. The address
last year was delivered by Hon. Claude
A. Swanson and five years ago by Hon.
A. J.. Montague In introducing Mr..
Flood to-day Judge Richardson alluded to
this fact stating that, perhaps, the speak
er's presence here was due to desire to
enter the race for the governorship.
The speaker. however. in beginning his
address. dIscaimed any such intention.
stating that his presence was due solely
to his desire to visit and mtngle with
the people OF this prosperous section.
Mr.. Flood went over the new Smyth
county courthouse this afternoon and
spoke In high terms OF its excellent ap-
pointments and tho evidence which 1t
gives of tho progressive spirit OF emyth
county. He will leave tonight TO re-
sumo his congressional duties In Wash

He claims that Hoggatt is trying to usurp his duties as dele gate and says ibat he IS the only person now in Washington who is authorizied to speak for Alaskans.
 ioggatt contends that a fcommis- ;ion would be tue p,oper thing as
 could consider all of the changes iesired and present all necessary
 s-gisiation to Congress at one
