Very Near A Bad Fire

Just a spark from a match
came near causing a bad and
expensive fire at The Big
Racket this morning. A Gus
toner lighting a cigar threw
the remainder of the match
away and accidently threw it
in the toy window. But for
the quick work OF w. II. With
row and George Kellogg, a ser
ious fire would have resulted,
las the Big Racket carries an
enormous stock now.

THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR
INTERESTING

With the ANNOUNCEMENT Tues
day that Congressman Carter Glak,
would not enter the race for tat
Govsrnership, two candidates are
left in the field for the Democratic
nomination, the Hon. II. st. George
Tucker Of Rockbridgs and Judge
William Hodges Mann of Motto
way. Mr.. Tucker claims the re.
cent withdrawal from the race of
the Hon. Henry C. Stuart greatly
increases bis chances for the nomi.
nation, and be feels confident OF
success.
Within the past week Messrs.
Tucker, Mann and Glass have been
asked to define their attitude ir
regard to the liquor question, and
here is what they have said:
Mr.. Tucker: II I'm formulst.
ing the platform on which l shall
stand as q candidate for Governor
Of Virginia, and on which 1 sha'l
appeal TO the people of Virginis
for their support. This will be
furnished the press in the near flu.
ture. This platform will contain
my views on the liquor question as
we'll ss on other public questions.
NY friends known full we'll that l
have always stood for the Demo
cratic principles of local self.gov-
eminent as exemplified in the local
option laws; l still believe in that
principle, end am not in favor OF |
Statewide prohibition"
Judge Mann: II have very de- |
cided views on the liquor question
and expect to express them frank
ly and fully at the Anti-Saloon
League convention which will as
ssmble in Norfolk on the 9th in
slant. But, inasmuch as l have
been a member of the league since
lite inception and the convention is
so close at hand, 1t might not BE-
in good taste to express myself on
this subject for publication until
after the adjournment of the con.
Mr.. Case: ~ am now, and
have always been, for Statewide
prohibition. / have repeatedly
said this; and in prestuting Gov
vernon Glenn to his Lynchburg
audience in the recent fight for
,losing salOonS there, 1 again as-
'erted that Statewide prohibition
vas, in ms belief. the most eff
,iert method of dealing with the .
subject. This lie my position on {
hat question without reference to c
whether shall or shall not decide i
20 be a candidate for Governor at 6
his or any other time. '

EDITOR LEXINGTON GAZETTE:
would Ike through your columns to re

journal known to the college people al
THE RiDg-tum Phi"a little Sheet about
the size OF an old fashion ID eight by
zen window pare, used by our fore
fathers. 1t undertakes a moral lecture
TO the town OF Lexington in geneia al
and the studCpts In particular. AS to
the latter l have noIhlrg to say; but as
to the ungentlemanly manner Ia which
1t speaks Of the Opera House as the

the uame Of the Heniy-St. Opera Houce
etc.. ! do object.
Now We ara aware as compared to
the Hippodroue and others In New
York We look very small, but let us
make further comparison. How would
this little six by eight sheet look along
side OF the New York World or the Gin

cIzirg the small Opera House. Now it
is matter OF regret that those talent
ed young men should be compelled to
witness exhibitions so different and in.
ferior to those they have been accus.
toned to while Globe trotting In Lon
don, Paris and even In Nav York or
perchance on their fathers tarus. We
realize 1t Is hard for men OF such vide
experience to get down to our small
way OF doing THO IS In old Lexington.
1t seems to me that this fact should
excite sympathy rather than censure. as
1t Is the best we can do.
But let us look at the facts. This
performance complained OF was booked

faith for two nights. Az soon as it
