MANN AND TUCKER DEBATE

Judge w. II. Mann and Hon. II. st.
Geo. Tucker. rival candidates for Cover
nor, met In Joint debate at Boydton
Monday, which was personal ia the eI.
treme.
Tucker attacked the Legislative record
OF Mann for letting the Anti-Saloou
League at Norfolk say that he was for
local option, but for saying now that he
would vote for State wide prohibition, II
tbs opportunity were offered him.
lie charged that Judge Mann was
counsel Tor N. W. r. r.. and, therefore,
had voted against the employees liability
bill, which would permit the widow of a
railroad man. killed In the line OF duty,
to recover damages for his death; also
that he voted against the bill to repeal
the law which allows damages amount
Ing to but SIC, 900 to be awarded IN the
case Of men killed by railroads IN Vir-
ginia- He attacked the Judge for voting
Tor the bill introduced IN the legislature
OF 1900 to charter the Virginia Telephone
Company, which, II IL had not been killed,
would have swallowed up and put out
OF business every private telephone In the
State.
He also attacked Judge Mann bitterly
for not voting for the bill to create bank
examiners. q point which was especially
iorcible owing to the recent failure OF the
the Bank Of Mecklenburg at Boydton,
which caused a loss OF about $40, 900
to citizens Of the county.
Judge Mann, replying TO the attacks,
read letter from Mr.. Holt, chairman OF
COMMITTEES on banks. saying the Judge
favored the principle OF bank examina-
tionr bat vas opposed to the bill on the
ground that IL did not provide for but
two examiners and placed their control
under the corporation commission in
| stead OF under the Insurance commits
sioner.
Judge Mann said he had voted to In
crease lees OF commissioners and sheriffs
because he thought they did not get
enough pay, and he wanted good men
Tor the positions. He had opposed the
employers liability bill, he said, because
IL was not broad enough. He declared
Tucker had never devoted five minutes
OF his life work for temperance causes.
When time was called, the Judge said:
81 cannot explain all these charges IN
my limited time
"You never will. judge" replied Mr..
Tucker.

with much emphasis, that any insinua-
