Hon. HI. st. Geo. Tucker Opens
Campaign for Governor

Hon. HI. st. Geo. Tucker Opens
Campaign for Governor
The Hon. Henry st. George
Tucker of Lexington, candidate
for Governor of Virginia, opened
his campaign in Richmond last
Wednesday night at au enthusiast
ic meeting held in the Academy Of
Music. Mr.. Tucker stated his po-
sition on the liquor question and
the other issues of the guberna-
torial campaign. He announced
that he favors the local option idea
with reference to the liquor ques-
ton, education. etc. Discussing
to these questions Mr.. Tucker
said:
eve rarely have a universal
law pertaining to the whole State,
controlling tie question OF fences,
but it is usual to make law on
that subject optional with the
counties or districts for their
adoption, because the reason that
would require fence law in one
section of the State would not OBJ.
tain In another. We rarely find a
general law on the subject of dogs,
roads, game, or schools, toi the
reason that the conditions of the
State are so variant; the manners,
the habits and the customs of the
people are so varied, that it has
been found best in compliance
with the great principle of giving
the people of each community the
right to determine these local
questions for themselves, to leave
It to their option.
"And so, the last Legislature
passed a law known as the Option
Il Compulsory Educational Bill"
giving to any county or district in |
he State the right,if they desired,
10 require all the children of that
county o: district to attend the
public schools. l stand for this
principle as to the dog laws, fence
avs, ROAD laws, school laws, game
avs and liquor law. l stand for
t not only because it has accom-
,lished certain results up to this
line, but because it is right in
principle, is the accepted princi-
lie of the Democratic party, and
las been one of its great and card
principles from the time of
efferson down to the present. l
hall stand for this principle until
ny party or the people shall
hange it.
"And, therefore. if the Legis-
ature of Virginia should pass a
ill providing for Statewide prohi-
itlon, l should feel compelled to
eto it, because it is against this
reat principle; because / believe
hat the doctrine of local option is
Democratic principle, imbedded
, the tenets of the party, and can (
My be changed by that great par {
2. as in its wisdom 1t may be de-
81 recognize full well that t
an who is Governor of the Com
onwealth has no right to prevent /
le people from voting ON any
they may desire.
"And, therefore, if the people
Virginia desire to change this i
iinciple and vote upon it at the |
)lls, u2der bill passed by the s
legislature, providing for the sub f
ission of Statewide prohibition
the people at large, 1 would ap v
'ove the bill. @
1.-THE argument can be summer t
ed In word: The Democratic b
,ctrine is for local option. That
N only be changed by the proper n
lthorlty in the party, but the 0
'ople have a right to vote on that n
lestion, and if bill permitting t

Ouidas : picturesque, spectacular,
thundery, thrilling and altogether de-
lightful melodrama, Under Two Flags. !,
was presented to large house last
night at the Alcazar and received in
the same enthusiastic. whole souled
spirit IN which it was given. All that
should be IN melodrama is in this
Belascoized novel of the popular ouida.
and several things which are not found
in most are there. First among these
must be mentioned-no. not the real
istic windstorm, but the banning refec-
tions Of the lifelike moon on the beau
tiful lake at the villa Aiyussa. Sec
ond is that delightfully."- weepy, though
not all unhappy ending in which that
dear Cigarette. dies in the arms of her
lover And such artistic touches go
together in the melodrama which
makes the modern appeal
Cigarette. that breezy. vivandiere,
that daughter of the regiment. SOL
der of France" is played with nerve
and spirit by Evelyn Vaughan Miss
Vaughan is taller and thinner than the
conception we have gathered of ciga-
rette: she has not the swagger (quite)
Of the woman raised among the sol
diers. her voice and accent has TOO
much OF the culture; she has not that
dash OF masculinity that-but why
mention Blanche Bates. The last cur
tain went down on a housefull of Wig
orously applied handkerchiefs-that is
enough.
BertraIn Lytell. as Hon. Berthe Cecil.

His forte is open hearted, open faced
juveniles and charming. sincere old men.
The hard. impenetrable she'll of an Eng
lishman, which might conceal anything,
he can not so easily assume. Still. he IS
handsome. and 10 the owners OF sus-
ceptible feminine hearts this Is enough.
Howard Hickman is as positively
hateful and mean and vindictive as 2
villain could well be. VIII Walling as
John OF Rockingham is as bully and i'm
probable a character as could well be

great as the coclkney servant. Rake.
The balance of the long cast has been
placed with discrimination by Stage
Manager Butler The scenery and ef-
fects are little short of wonderful in a
stock company. and the whole perform
ance of meIodrama maketh glad the
heart OF those who like that sort of
thing.

places from exhibiting films depicting
crimes OF violence or improper scenes

Meyers. for the associated nickeiodeon
owners. opposed the inclusive sweep of
the bill as regards scenes of violence :,
he said the moving picture theaters of
San Francisco might some day wish to
depict the exploits ''of mighty hunter
and traveller repelling the onsiaughts
of a savage African tribe" He thought
the murder scenes in Shakespeare
ought not to be Disseminated against
by d discerning board of supervisors.
Connolly called his attention to the
fact that the crimes of violence, usu-
ally depicted in nickelodeons were not
Shakespearean tragedies but vulgar
assaults and that the spectators were
usually in large part children.
He said the board of censors to be
appointed on each by the mayor. the
police commission. the board of educa-
ton. the society for the prevention of
of cruelty TO children and the nickel
odeon proprietors, would pass upon all
pictures before presentation, and their
verdict would protect the owners
The board unanimously passed the
bill.
