9TH Judging from the past, the demr
ocrats. TO keep up the rule adopted,
SHOULD now nominate Judge Mann, The
democrats have been generous and
magnanlmous in every instance. Let
us see. IN 1889, Withers was taken
down as governor, In 1878 Keuvas.
was nominated for goveruor---S~ -
ers, but With.rr,y..sc, - - oyer With
S+,..-->4-- -S9!s was made United
r7Ssales Senator, In 1877, when Uolli-
day was nominated for governor, Lees
name was mentioned. In 1881 Daniel
was dominated for governor, In 1885
Lee was nominated for governor. IN
1889, when Mckinney was nominated
for governor, O'Ferrall's name was
mentioned. Whel O'FerraIl was nom
mated for governor in 1898 Ty.er's
name was mentioned. In 1897 Tyler
was nominated for governor. In 1901
when Montague was nominated for
governor, Swansou's name was mem
toned, in 1905, at the primary, Swan
son was nominated for governor, with
Mann and Willard contesting. In 1909
now, we have Mann and Tucker; let
Us nominate Mann and we can nomi-
pate Tucker i'll 1913. Mann is the log
ical candidate.
9TH. Underwater should stand by
Judge Mana, for he certainly aided in
defeating the Jordan Bill" "A
friend i'll need is a friend indeed" I
believe we have Il special friend i'm
Judge Mann, as to our local industries
tor he knows something of our needs
and wants, and he will aid and care
for US. We should stand by him.
9th, Judge Mann is a confederate
Veteran. He wears the cross OF hon
or" given him by the United Daugh-
tiers OF the Confederacy." All things
being equal will vote for an old Vet
erar. l think this is the last chance
the veterans and sons of veterans Will
have to elect a Veteran as governor.
Again, reflect on the list of our govern
CTS since 1873; Kemper, Holiday, Cam
eron, Lee, Mckinney, O'Ferrall and
Tyler all veterans, then Montague and
Swanson, sons of Veterans. / tbinL,
that veterans should unite and call on
the sons. to give us one more veteran
governor. The sons can wait, the vet
Grams cannot wait.
9th Judge Mann is a friend to the
old veterans; he is an ardent supporter
of anything that tends to keep alive
aud preserve the memories of 1S6l-65.
de IS in favor of increasing pensions to
the very limit of our finances.
Judge Mann is a Virginian, bv birth
reared, educated and lived in Virginia
His life is an open book TO be read by
all. He has been weighed in the bal
ances and not found wanting. He has
been thrown in the political caIdron,
and comes forth without blenmish
on his character.
1t IS now, on the eve of the battle.
After forty years in politics may
plead for harmony and uniou III the
democratic party. More important
than the success of an individual. I
deeply depiOre discussions between
factions in our party, apathy and dis
cord Will be created at the general
ec-ion. Ammunition is given TO the
republicans to be used against the sue
cessful candidate at the primary.
l have given some reasons why
support Judge Mann. If the readers
