Capt. Kent Declares Democratic
Government Is Grossly ExlraVaganl.
READS SPEECH At HAMPTON
Fair Sized Crowd Gives Republican
Nominee Hearty Greeting at Arm
ory HaII-Georee Nelms Wise Az.
tscks Fee System,

The Democratic machine" in Vir-
at the hands CT Capt William p Kent,
The Republican nominee for governor,
who spoke TO a fair sized audience
in Armory hall last night. Capt. Kent
read speech that seemed TO be prac-
tically the same he has delivered in
other places. and in which he makes
bitter attack upon the Democratic
party leaders Of the state.
The fact that Capt. Kent reads the
speech from manuscript, which he
boldly holds in front Of him during
the time he is talking, is relieved by
the many bits of humor. The audience
last night was representative and the
nominee of the enemy" was heard
by several well known Democrats.
Charges Extravaganza.
Capt. Kent charged the Democratic
party with extravaganza in the use
Of the states moneys and declared
that the salaries of the officeholders
in Virginia have been increased one
hundred per cent in the past five
years. He was caustic in his refer
ence 10 the manner in which the lead
ers of the Democratic party dominate
in the selection of officers in the
state from governor DOWN to the
most Insignificant office
On several occasions the speaker
referred TO tho extravaganza of the
present government as shown by re-
ports. but would each time add that
the Republicans were unable TO get
at the exact facts in as much as the
intricacies CT bookkeeping prevented
a true insight into the conditions.
Capt Kent discussed Judge Mann,Ss
record in humorous vein, basing many
of his points on the charges brought
out against the Democratic nominee
during the primary contests Mr.. Kent
said that Judge Mann had been able
to handle the prohibition vote and Mt
the same time remain friendly with
the saloon interest.
Taking up the public school system
Mr.. Kent argued for better facilities
for the children and not better office
desks and higher pay for the state
superintendents. He thought the
teachers should receive better pay.
He discussed Judge Mann's attitude
on the multiple list Of books and
criticises State superintendent OF
Schools Eggleston.
The entire address of the candidate
was along the lines he has used in
other places and he brought out MOTH
ing new from the charges he has al
ready made against the party in pow
er.
Closing his address Mr.. Kent APP
pea.ed to the voters to cast their BAL
lots for the Republican candidate ior

ginia become a very strong factor IN
the affairs of the states.
Mr.. Kent was cordially received
when he began speaking. and when
he took his seat he was cheered for
some time.
George Nelrns Wise Speaks.
Mr.. George helms Wise, OF New
port News. followed Mr.. Kent and for
an hour he discussed the fee system
in Virginia and the platform of the
Democratic and Republican parties.
Mr.. Wise declared that in Newport
News, a city of $4,000 population. the
sheriff received through fees the sum
CT $4,000 annually. while the United
States marshal, who serves 1000, 900
persons, only gets $4,000 per year.
Mr. Wise is opposed to the fee sys-
tenn and thinks that the officers in
the state. from clerk OF the courts
down TO the magistrate. should receive
stated salary.
Mr.. Wise further asserted that ali
of the Confederate generals in Viz
ginia had become Republicans and
five had sat is Republican conven-
ton. He said he is willing and ready
to discuss that matter with the son
of any Confederate soldier in the
state. He criticised severely Judge
Mann's claims to being a Confederate
soldier, saying that Judge Mann par
ticipated for fifteen minutes IN one
batter only and then hied himself on
to Ncttowsy courthouse to accept a
clerkship and become beneficiary
under the fee system of the state
Hon. Harry Libbey. the chairman
of the Elizabeth City County Repuoii-

troduced the speakers of the evening
to the audience.
There were a number OF RepuDh-
cans from Newport News in the au-
dience. The small attendance OF the
colored voters was one OF the hotic-
able features of the gathering.
