FOR LOCAL OPTION.

In his speech at the Academy OF
Music in Richmond last Wednesda,
night, Hon. Harry St. George
Tucker unequivocally stated hi
position upon the liquor question
without reservation, evasion or
'straddle."
Mr.. fuckers position is our
position. exactly, and the Courier
therefore advocates the nomination
and election of Mr.. Tucker as the
next Governor of Virginia.
Mr.. Tucker said:
Il am for local option because il
is Democratic, and, therefore, if
am elected Governor of Virginia,
and the legislature were to pass a
Statewide prohibition bill, | should
feel compelled to veto it.
IF the legislature were to pass =
bill putting the question of State.
wide prohibition to a vote of the
people, | would feel compelled tc
1t, because the people have the
right to say whether or not they
want Statewide prohibition.
That is exactly what the people
of Virginia want. They want to
know just where their Governor
will stand upon this important
question. They want to know that
a local option Governor will not bc
transformed into prohibition
Governor during his term of office.
1t is proper that a question OF
this magnitude should be submitted
TO the people for their vote. if il is
TO become law, and Mr.. Tucker
takes the unassailable position that
the court of last resort should be
the ballot box.
No fairer, or more Democratic
position, can be asked for or ex-
pected of any candidate.

MARTIN AND MANN.

1t has been charged by some of
the most reliable newspapers in
Virginia that the representatives
of the Mann faction in the Anti
Saloon League and the representa-
tlves of Senator Thomas :. Martin
had meeting in Washington the
week before the Anti-Saloon
League Convention and framed up
deal whereby the League would
adopt a plank calling for local
option for the present. in return
tor receiving the aid and votes of
the Democratic machine.
The COURIER received tele-
graphic message from Washing
ton newspaper man before the Ant
Saloon League Convention, in
which message the local option
plank was forcasted and deal"
consummated in Washington was
charged.
OF course we have seen the denial
OF both MIR. Mann and Mr.. Martin.
but it appears to US that where the
smoke is so thick there must be-
some fire.
We are told that the Anti Saloon
League membership believes thal
Mr. Mann, if elected, would sic u a
prohibition bill passed by the L =
islature. We are also told that %
liquor dealers association is ,qa
porting Mr. Mann berease ii.

Somebody is wrong. Either the
liquor men or the prohibitionists
will get badly fooled. The ques-
ton is, Whicba"

heretofore turned with repugnance
from deals which have been at

Let us all know our own minds:
everybody ought certainly to know
this much.

him real stake in the stock and
cropsl
Now mind this: Make two sow

While it may not be advisable 20

hen the ground is frozen, it is
well enough to do it on plowed
field that is nearly level.

Carry a little book in your pocket
and use 1t whenever there is any
thing to make d minute of.
This is the season of the year for
farm auctions. There is always a
great temptation to buy things at
such places; Just because of the
excitement of the moment. But
don't be led into getting stuff that
YOU have no use for. 1t is simply
a waste of money.
The first spring days make Us
uneasy to get out on the land To
work; but, fellow farmers, we can
gain time and be sure of better
crops by Just sitting still until the
earth is dry enough to work.
There Is no surer way to spoil land
than To work it when it is too wet.
When YOU haul off the rubbish

the roadside. Haul it into some

The following special dispatch
from Ri,hm'ud TO the Wa,hinv,nn
Post la>, Friday explains itSclG:
Several conferences have been
held within the past two weeks be-
tween representatives OF the Vir-
ginia Liquor Dealers Association
and United States senator Thomas
;. Martin, with the object of
securing to Judge William Hedges
Mann, candidate for governor. the
support of the liquor element in
Virgins, provided Judge Mann
viii agree io a publ. >,atcn,e.,
that he will not approve any meas
ure passed lay il,c >,a.ur..
while governor, declaring for
Statewide prohibition i'm Virginia.
according To a leading member If
the Liquor Dealers Association.
1t is said that a tacit agreement
was reached at informal meetings.
and IT the desired ends can be
obtained in public statement. tn,
liquor dealers will be satisfied with
the candidacy of Judge Mann.
In this connection it i said that
as result of the conference United
States Senator Martin is not near
so enthusiastic in his support of
Judge Mann as he was two weeks
ago. This information comes from
sources usually regarded as relia.
BILE.
The rock ON which all negotia-
tions up 10 this time stranded is
the Anti-saloon League. which
hopes to force within the four
years a statewide prohibition fight
in Virginia, and consequently, this
league would hardly agree to sun
port candidate under promise to
veto any bill adopted by the legis-
lature looking to this end. Tucker
has already declared that he will
veto a bill of this kind. Should
Judge Mann also make such 4
statement publicly to the LIQUOR
people the league will be forced TO
seek Its end by the doubtful ex-
pertinent of going before the peo-
pie for their votes on the question.
Indirectly. several times the in
formation has come from the bead
quarters of Judge Mann that he
VIII make no statement as TO what
he will do if elected governor.
Now the question in the minds of
the politicians is. what will Senator
Martin do! If. as there appears
to be some reason to believe, he will
keep hands off and allow the can
didates to fight it out among them
selves, a knotty tangle presents
itself.
1t is learned that a meeting of
the liquor people has been held at
Richmond, behind closed doors.
the sense of which was that they
would support Tucker against
Mann, on the ground that it would
be better to have man in the
governor chair who did not favor
prohibition and would use his in
fiuence against it than a man who
while not running on that plat
form, has long been affiliated with
the Anti-saloon League and would
welcome any movement made by
the league.
Judge Mann declines to take up
this question of what he will do if |
confronted by the two horns of the |
dilemma, after he has become gov
ernor on local option platform.
and with the support of the Iiouor
