Judge William Hodges Mann, prohibi-
ton candidate for Governor of Virginia.
spoke on the issues of the campaign at
the courthouse in Leesburg yesterday
afternoon He was introduced by Robert
Hutchinson Of Manassas. Va
Judge Mann said that he had borne a
great deal of criticism from Mr.. Tucker,
his opponent. but he had reached the
limit of forbearance. and he felt obliged
to- in measure, retaliate. He spoke at
length on the high school bill, which he
introduced in the state legislature in 1904.
and which was passed in 1906 with such
fruitful results. Judge Mann said if he
were elected governor the first recon-
mendation he would make to the legis-
lature would be for an appropriation for
the support of Confederate soldiers He
said it would be a disgrace to Virginia If
a Confederate soldier should fill a pau
pers grave or should spend his declining
years in an alrnshouse.
He then explained his position upon the
liquor question. He said he believes in
local option. in the people being allowed
to settle the matter for themselves He
believes, he said, that in the near future
the sale of liquor will be stopped entirely
He said that Mr.. Tucker had never been

He answered several of the accusations
his opponent had made against him.
among which was the criticism of his not
having been in Petersburg at the recent
local option election. Judge Mann said he
had never lived in Petersburg, and had
no right to vote there, fact of which
Mr. Tucker was well aware He also en-
phatically denied the accusation that
under the influence of the LIQUOR people
he had been induced to modify his views,
and also that he had made any conces-
sions with the ring" He declared that
he had made no promise of any kind to
lany one.
In conclusion he said that If he were
not elected August } next he would never
again run for another Office but it was
his greatest desire and belief that he

Henry Hudson was an Englishman,
citizen of London and was probably born
in that city. although there is no tang,-
BILE evidence Of the fact. Indeed, his
birth is involved in as much mystery as
his death. He emerged out of the un-
known and disappeared into the unknown
under the most tragic circumstances.
The first we know of him was on April
~. 1907. when he appeared at the little
church of st. Ethleburga on Bishopgate
street. which stood near the present 10
cation of the United States consulate gen.
eral in London. with eleven of his crew
and partook of holy communion before
setting sail upon his first voyage to Amer
lea.
Several men of his name were promi-
nently identified with navigation and
commerce during the century previous to
this date. Christopher Hudson was
one of the founders of the Muscovy Com
pany, "A commercial and shipping syndi
cate which fitted out fleet for Hudson's
first voyage, and he was a man of inf1u-
ence and consequence. Before his time

Henry Hudson. sometimes called Heard

Importance because he bore a coat-of
arms described as Argent, Semee of
