WHAT JUDGE ENBREY
THINKS OF SITUATION
Says Fight for Congress Is Be-

Gordon.
Says Fight for Congress Is Be.

Hon. Alvin T. Embrey, former judge
of the Corporation Court of the city of
fredericksburg, and for several terms
q member of the House of Delegates
was in the city yesterday. having APP
peaned in a case in the United States
Court.
Judge Embrey lives on the. edge
OF the Eighth Congressional District,
and isfamiliar with what s going on
among the candidates for Congress to
succeed the late John +. RiNey.
When asked yesterday what he
thought of the situation. the Freder-
icksburg lawyer declared that in his
opinion the fight had narrowed down
between former Speaker John T. Ryan,
OF Loudoun, and Hon. r. Lindsay Cor
don. of Louisa.
Judge Enlbrey did not say which
one of these gentlemen he thought
would win. but he was emphatic in as
sorting his belief that they We're
stronger than either of their compe-
titors.
He did not regard AR. carlin as a
formidable competitor for the honor
and said Judge Nicol had not developed
the strength which his friends had
claimed for him at first.
The views expressed by Judge En-
brey are those of a great many we'll
posted leaders who come here from
Northern Virginia, and 1t is considered
| as indicative of Speaker Ryan's
| strength, that nearly every one who
| discusses the matter names him as a
| leading candidate.
The Democratic District Committee
| has fixed June 18th as the date for the
| primary.

found that these criticisms are both
unjust and uncalled for for 1T Is legal
for any institution to own bank stock
or TO borrow money, just so that IT
discharges and pays its debts and

Of the American Guild ever since It's
existence Of seventeen years ago, ana
It enjoys the reputation of meeting
It's obligations. Of whatsoever nature,
promptly and cheeEfully.
Has All Been Paid.
at Is true that the American Guild
owed some time ago $4,000 to the
bank, which 1t preferred to borrow

societies In every section Of the coun-

THAT these amalgamations have to
be paid for Is quite natural and usual.
The same Is true an 10 every indi-

the organization. In these days It Is
