POLITICAL.

fuckers friends are stalled by the
record that Judge Marn never supper.
It'd Mefone after the latter left the
D.mocrstic party.
. We know heap of farmers, who are
farmers. and who are going to vote for
Mr.. Koiner, because the politicians who
are not fan are cII csed to him.

When you run for political office
everything you ever did or didn't do
comes right out. And you will find out
lots of things about yourself that you
never knew. - Baltimore Sun.
Judge Mann, exasperated at fuckers
unsupported category of charges, this
week from the stump denounced Tuck
er's tactics. He declares falsehood af-
ter falsehood has been circulated.
Mr.. fuckers trickery turns truly to
his undoing. Judge Mann's magnetism
for morality and manhood assumes a
magnitude which engulfs his opponent
in its intensity. -Accomac News.
General Malone was a democrat at
the time the letters were written by
Judge Mann to the head and front of
the ''readjusters, according to Mann's
friends. Richmond News Leader.
The Southern Planters fight against
Commissioner Koiner falls to the ground
when it is known to emanate from
personal enmity, and also that the editor
of the Planter has no vote in this State.
We believe that Judge Mann's victo-
~ Is essential to the continued advance
of the temperance crusade in Virginia.
Let the people speak In no uncertain
tone on the 9Th of August. - Gloucester
Tribune.
Jas. S. Barron, formerly of Warsaw,
will be a candidate for Congress next
year from the Norfolk district as
Tucker man. He may change his mind,
as Tucker men are apt to be scarce
after next week.
Cloud the issues as you will, the fight
between Tucker and Mann is fight be-
tween vets and drys. There are many
dry men in the Tucker camp, but his
nomination would be hailed as Water
loo for the drys. Sussex Standard.
Mr.. Tucker may call on the noun
tains to cover him, but he cannot con-
ceal the fact that he advocated COM
pulsory education at Emporia and
Nansemond as late as the present year.
The testimony of living witnesses is
against him. and cannot be refuted. :
Index-Appeal.
Mr.. Tucker apologies for charging
that Judge Mann's promise was to Mr..
Smith for superintendent of schools
four years head. His letter was to help
Mr.. Smith in the late contest. Pity
Mr.. Tucker is not man enough to
apologize to other gentlemen he says
Judge Mann promised Offices to.
In a recent speech Judge Mann said
that he was charged with having the
support Of the "ring." He don know.
he said, what the "ring" was. but said
he hoped II was for him. Something
had hit him SO hard in 1905 that it had
knocked the stuffing" out OF him.
If it was the ring" that did it he hop
ed it was for him sure this time.
The Tucker forces have begun to
realize Judge Mann's strength and are
their candidate for his de-
feat. At the primary they will see
that Judge Mann is strong enough to
carry his party, and at the general
election it will be seen that the Demo-
cratic party is still supreme in Virginia |
-Southside Free Press.
Thirty years ago they charge Judge
Mann with writing to his personal
friend, General Malone. who at that
time was Democrat, in reference to
2 judgeship. The same sources will
probably start rumor that the Judge
was nursed by negro nanny sixty
odd years old. There will be just about
rs much sense in one charge as the
other. -Accomac News,
1t is mighty strange how all of these
editors know how the whiskey dealers
and bar-keepers are going to vote.
We venture the assertion, that not one
these. wise to the barkeepers, can tell |
how the merchants, carpenters, school
or farmers will vote. We will |
bet saw-horse, that there are not a |
hundred people in all Eastern Virginia |
that have credited this ridiculous lie, |
let alone wondered over it, and will bet |
same kind, that not ten liquor |
dealers in the whole State will vote
for Judge Mann in the primary. Sussex

Judge Mann speaking from car on
street corner in Newport News one
night last week enthused a Thousand
people. Even the Tucker men present
him. Newport News is
in doubt because of the great vote of
ship-yard men, who are said to be
largely Influenced by corporations.
Mr.. Tucker expects the greater part of
this vote. In his speech Judge Mann
declared he was tired of 'this mud
singing, and that if the people of the
State of Virginia would unite nv
hands for thirty-six hours would put
