DID LEE EXPECT DEFEAr7
The Generals Significant Statement
After Sailors Creek,

My last official intercourse with Gen
eral Lee was on the retreat. | was
sent to him with dispatches from Pres
ident Davis and reached him near mid
night of April near Rice's station. |
approached without being challenged
by single sentinel and found him
standing near a smOldering fire with
one of his hands resting on an am
bulancc wheel. He was debating some
order to Colonel Marshall, who sat in
the ambulance with a lap desk receiv-
Ing his dictatlon. AS General Lee
spoke he gaZed into the bed OF Goals
as if weighing every word. There was
no staff or escort about, so far as ]
could see. Touching Sailors Creek, he
spoke bitterly and said In answer to
Mr. Davis desire to know his proposed
line of retreat that it was beyond his
control: that he had intended to re-
treat by the line Of the Danville road
but had been forced Off that route by
the arrival Of Sheridan ahead Of him
at Burkvile; that he was then follow
ing the line of the Southside road to
Lynchburg. but the enemy was out
marching him and might force him off ;
that his movements were dependent
on the developments of each hour, and
then he added: How can l tell? A
few more Sailors Creeks and 1t will all
be Over-jiust where ! thought 1t would
end from the beginning" When l first
published this statement Its truthful
ness was questioned Fortunately I
afterward saw two Of his staff, both
of whom said they had heard him ex-
press himself in the same way. There
may have been times when General
Lee, elated by some of his surprising
successes, felt hopeful about the tri-
umph of our cause. From the prOba-
bililies based on numbers and resources
his Judgment may have been warped
away now and then by the feeling he
expressed when, after Second Manas-
sas, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville, he said, mo general
ever commanded such troops as those
under me-" But his mind was too
mathematical in its workings, and all
It's calculations were too habitually
based upon what could he done with
a given number of men and Il certain
amount of material to make him forget
the vast disparity between the contest
ants or hope for ultimate triumph

BOOMING SPLAWN
FOR GOVERNOR
Yakima County is Solid for The
Old Commoner

With the understanding that you
are member of the Democratic
party and are DESTROYS of party success
in the State of Washington at the polls
next November we respectfully COM
mend for your earnest consideration
the following facts:
|. That Hon. A. J. Splawn, resi-
dent of Yakima county and pioneer
of 1860, is candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for the Office OF Gov.
ernor OF this state at the primaries, to
be held September 8, next
2. He is democrat of the old school
and bears the name OF that ilustrious
Statesman and Democrat, Andrew
Jackson. He stands squarely on the
democratic platform both National and
State.
3. That Mr.. Splawn's name is a
household word in every family in
Yakima county, where the most OF his
life has been spent, a fact due not only
to the personal popularity of the man,
but to keen appreciation OF his high
character and his public spirit. How.
ever, this feeling of confidence is gen.
eral among all who know Mr.. Splawn.
It is the sort OF confidence that means
votes and Jealous work in his behalf
should be nominated.
!. Although business man and a
stock raiser and necessarily busy man
Mr.. Splawn is one who does not neglect
the civic duties of the good citizen.
He has filed many positions OF trust,
alwaps doing so willingly and working
most zealously when tho rights and in
terests OF his home community we're
involved. In this capacity he served
the people of Yakima county most &C.
ceptably as a member OF the senate
during the term ending in 1909. HIS
most conspicuous service in that body
was the defeat of the notorious "Pri-
The Ellensburg dawn. [volume] (Ellensburg, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1908-08-21

vate Reservoir" bill, vidiOus attempt
by legislation to create water monop-
oily through private control OF the
sources of irrigable streams in Central
Washington. For this splendid SER
vice Mr.. Splawn will long be remem-
bered by the people OF kittitas, Iaki-
ma and Benton counties.
). That he is of the type OF men
qualified for high service: man of al
most unerrng judgment in business
affairs and is by nature we'll endowed
as what is known as good ''horse sense"
He is also we'll fortified with moral
courage. He is not afraid to say "NO.'
6. He is an enemy of graft and If
elected governor can be depended up
on to use the axe fro ely. He be ieves
that there is great need OF retrench-
ment in the state affairs to the end that
our people should be less burdened
with taxes.
!. If nominated Mr.. Splawn will
make an energetic campaign under the
auspices of the State Central Commit
tee. BY reason of his personality and
his good record he can draw to his
support thousands OF republican and
independent: voters. This committee
believesthat ne can be elected.
In conclusion we desire to make to
you, aud to all the democrats in your
vicinity, an earnest appeal to support
the candidacy OF Hon. A. j. Splawn at
the primaries September Ii you are
in position to do SO your support AID
your influence will be appreciated.
Yours for the success OF Democracy,
National, State and County.
