JOHN s. WISE

The TazewelI Republican stated
last week that Judge Mann and
Senator Martin must have been very
much disappointed in the size OF the
crowd which came out to hear them
speak. This may or may not be
true, we don't know. We do know,
however, that a goodly number Of
Republicans were disappointed in
Mr.. Wise's speech, that is. if they
are honest in their expressions. Per
haps they expected too much, or do
not know a good speech when they
hear one. At any rate, Mr.. Wise's
speech seems 10 have fallen fiat, as
we say, and failed TO stir the fight
ing blood Of the county Republicans.
All admit that the speech of the En-
Nirginian, was pleasant To listen to-
lie is an orator OF no mean order,
and the most beautiful and stirring
things he said were about his native
tate and his old home. His speech,
outside OF this, was given almost en-
tirely TO criticisms and filings not
OF high order, nj former associates
and colleagues i'm the State, and the
discussion OF Issues long since past
and dead. lie resuIrccied the bones of
JohnE Massey, whom, OF all men
he has the strongest reason for re-
membering, and picked these bones,
and flung odoriferOus chunks OF po-
litical cairn among his auditors. He
had many a tilt with John f.. Mas
sey i'm other days. and always, 80
the public said, came out o; the con-
fict SCARED and Vanquished. Now.
that Mr.. Massey is not here TO reply
he still continues 10 fight his ghost,
which seems 10 haunt his tracLs. a
number OF the brilliant New York
lawyer : friends, who are familiar
with the conflict aud war waged be-
tween these two giants in those days,
express the opinion that Massey :
frequent and severe castigations OF
Mr. wise, had much 10 do with
bringing Mr.. Wise TO the conclusion
that New York was better place
i'm which To live than Virginia. This
may or may not be true, but certain
~ true it is that his dueIs on the
stump with the calm, shrewd, in
cisive Massey still live and rankle
in the memory of this truant son OF
noble sire.
Judge Mann, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, Senator Martin
and Congressman Glass, came in .or
few belittling filings and criti.
cisms by this imported orator, who
confessed before his audience that he

few days ago, TO net him face to
face in public debate, thinking
perhaps it beneath his digni ty to dc
so, but finds pleasure and consolation
i'll criticising under circumstances
which make reply impossible.
Capt. Willie Kent, Republican
candidate for Governor, was the only
man, of all the distinguished Virgin.
ians named by Mr.. Wise, who got q
kindly word of commentator. Those
whom he denounced were or had
been Virginia's staunch friends,
those whom he praised are now OF
had been her enemies. And vet the
speaker said he loved Virginia. Great
is Johnny Wise! What a different
speech he would have delivered here
on Saturday if he had become Gov
e'hor of Virginia years ago, is only
matter Of conjecture.

sumed before discovery that it was

WAITING SPEAKER cANNoN'S
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Predicted that insurgents" Will Be
Left Out for Obstruction Tactics.

| Washington, Aug. 4.-Speaker Cam
non is expected to announce his de-
| cisiun with regard to committee as
signmehts tomorrow. That they will
not be altogether satisfactory is al
ready indicated by gossip heard about
| the house chamber. The selection
| which is expected to cause a great
real of comment and incidentally con-
siderable concern is the designation
of Representative Weeks of Massa-
chusetts to be chairman of the COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads.
II is understood that Weeks does
not favor the postal savings bank
proposition and that his attitude with
regard to that legislation, which was
proposed and recommended by George
Won l.. Meyer, formerly postmaster
general has had some influence with
Mr.. Cannon in selecting Mr.. Weeks
for the head of the postofffce commit
tee.
, Several of the Massachusetts con-
gressional delegation look on plan
to appoint Mr.. Weeks to the head of
the committee as a clever coup on the
part of Senator Cranes followers to
endanger the chances of the opposing
factions in che coming senatorial con-
test in their state.
The fact that Representative Gard
ner of New Jersey, who would be en-
titled to the Craftsmanship of the post
office committee from the standpoint
of rank of service on that committee,
today for the first time voted with the
rules insurgents" and the democrats
on the urgent deficiency bill, was TAX
en- to indicate that he regards Mr..
Weeks appointment as assured.
Representative Gardner of Massa-
chusetts. who, it is said would also
be affected by the appointment of Mr..
Weeks because of his utilization with
the Lodge forces, is to lose his chair
manship of the committee on indus
trial arts and eXpositions. 1t was I'M
derstood today that this action would
be taken because Mr.. Gardner was
one of the leading insurgents at the
opening of this session. Representa-
tive Rodendig~tIll.) will, it is said sue
coed Mr.. Gardner.
Speaker Cannon did not try to
make any bargain with me about my
craftsmanship" said Mr.. Gardner to-
day. He admitted that he understood
that he would lose the committee on
industrial arts and expositions.
1T is true, however" added Mr..
Gardner. that inconversation I have
freely stated that | hoped that all the
insurgents would retain their chair
manships or else none of them"
Representative Cooper, Wisconsin,
who was also an "insurgent' against
the rules, may retain the Craftsmanship
of the committee on insular affairs. 1t
was reported today that President Taft
had interviewed with Speaker Cannon
in his behalf. On the other hand, it
was learned from equally reliable
sources that Representative Fowler of
New Jersey, who was chairman of the
banking and currency committee in
the last session, would lose his COM
mittee. The fate of Representative
Davidson of Wisconsin,. another lin
surgent," remains uncertain. He was
chairman of the committee on rail-
ways and canals.

BUSY DAY AT WHITE HOUSE.
Preparations for Removal of Office
Furniture to Beverly-Many Callers.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President Taft
spent several busy hours today with a
host of congressional callers. Alto
gether there were eleven senators and
twenty three representatives on the
long list of statesmen who called to
say good bye. to discuss details of the
presidents fall trip to their districts
and to talk tariff aftermath.
1t also was moving day" in the ex-
ecutive offices, several van loads of
Office furniture, fittings and letter files
being shipped by express to Beverly.
Mass, where the summer executive
offices will be located in the Board of
Trade building. The Office force will
not leave Washington until the presi-
dent goes. His departure naturally is
dependent on the adjournment OF con-
gress. The president has hoped to get
away Friday. though he may be delay
ed until Saturday afternoon.
Whether or not the president will go
to the capitol tomorrow to sign bills
on what may prove to be the last day
of congress depends upon the pro-
gramme decided upon by the senate
leaders. If the concurrent resolution
to reduce the duties on shoes made of
calf skins as we'll as of hides, formerly
dutiable, is likely to be delayed by pro-
longed discussion and numerous
amendments, the president will not go
