DR., Stuart Explains What He Said
at Petersburg.

Bristol. Va, June 5.-GeOrge r. Stuart,
the Tennessee evangelist. and for twenty
years co-worker of the late Sam Jones.
has just given out signed interview here
In regard TO the widespread criticism Of
him by the press Of Virginia for his
speeches at Petersburg, IN the local-op-
ton campaign there, which was won by
the VETS"
He denies that he used vulgar Ian
g7Iage. as was charged. but admits that
he made the statement that a highway
rObber was no worse than a saloon
keeper. He says that a highwaynan
takes a mans money and leaves nothing
in his pocket. while the whisky man
takes his money and leaves a bottle Of
liquor. which is worse than nothing
He denies that he received 500 for a
single address in Petersburg. and adds
that he has probably spoken 10 more
pcople/than any other living American,
and TO the hundreds Of thousands OF dis
interested persons he appeals for vindica-
ton from the charges brought against
him He says that the idea that he ran
away from Petersburg because he feared
personal violence for his remark about
the highwaymen and the saloonists is
sheer absurdity.
