TWO POLITICAL QUESTIONS.

In view OF the fact that the Rich
mond Journal and some other unfair
enemies of Judge Mann have stated
that he voted for Tom Martin against
Fitz Lee for the u. S. Senate in the
memorable fight OF 1893 81, we publish
the following letter and the answer to
it from the News Leader;
Newcastle, Va, March l5, 1909.
Editor The News LEADER
Adm'ring your fairness. both ia friend
and foe, and wishing for definite infor-
nation on the questions stated below.
] am writing To ask that you answer
them IN your paper, in order that others
also who may be in doubt may have ac
curate information in the premises.
First. In the senatorial contest be-
tween Fitz Lee and Mr.. Martin which
candidate had the support of Judge
Mann?
Second. Was Mr. Martin a Confed-
crate soidierl MouNTAINEER.
The manual If lS9a-'94, the wear of
the Lee-Martin fight, shows that Judge
Mann was not a member of the general
assembly of that year. His first term
in the senate was in 1899 1900.
Senator Martin was in the corps of
cadets. which fought at New Market.
At the time of that engagement, how
ever, he was in the hospital. Follow
ing his recovery he participated in all
the engagements Of that command. -

the deductions it draws therefrom, the

state of affairs that United States

argue a case in open court there with

indirection and insinuation with insin-

porters for certain newspapers. We
were impressed with this condition of
affairs by local story In the Richmond
fimes-Dispatch of yesterday, incident
to the presence in that city of United
States Senator Thomas S. Martin. De-
spite the published statement in the
same article by Mr.. Martin himself that
his presence in the city was due solely
to business in the courts and that abso-
lutely no political significance was at
tached thereto. the reporter in the very
same article labors diligently to make
1t appear and to create the impression
that Mr.. Martin was in the city in the
interest of a gubernatorial candidate. In
the prosecution of this effort to discredi,
and to contradict Senator Martin, the
aforesaid reporter appears to have spied
on the senator's movements and noted
the name Of every visitor who called To

JUDGE MANN
ANSWERS FULLY

Below we reproduce extracts from the
Times-Dispatch editorial, which paper is
not supporting Judge Mann but which
has so far treated him fairly:
Judge Mann last night effectualiy
siienced the critics who said that he
would not. and the dark strategists
who said that he should not, make
clear his intended attitude as Cover
nor towards Statewide prohibition.
The Judge meets the issue as clearly.
fully and explicitly as possible. II q
Statewide prohibition bill should come
from Legislature which had no "pre-
vious Instructions from the people. -
ne, as Governor, would veto it. If q
Statewide bill should come from q
Legislature elected upon that issue.
under circumstances which satisfied
him that the will of the people was
clearly for State prohibition, he. as
Governor would sign it. III a bill
should be passed referring the ques-
ton to the direct vote of the people
he. as Governor, would sign il. No
clearer and more detailed statement
OF intentions could be desired. The
voters of Virginia now know. az was
their right, exactly what TO expect
from Judge Mann in contingency that
may not impossibly confront the next
Governor of the State.
Mr. fuckers dislike of legisla-
tive prohibition recognizes no line be-
tween instruction ond uninstructed
Legislatures. He would veto the bail
in any case. Judge Mann, on the other
hand. would sign a prohibitory bill if he
felt satisfied that the Legislature which
passed it was acting under orders from
the electorate.
For the rest, Judge Mann's opening
speech is devoted largely to the roads
and schools question. There is moth
ing much new or striking left to saw
about either of those matters. but
Judge Mann undoubtedly strikes the
right note in his recommendation for
agricultural training in every coun.
try high school. This IS a suggestion
which The Times Dispatch and doubt.
less others have offered within recen,
memory. and which is certainly destined
to be adopted some day. The Judge
favors system of inspection for banks.
He also "favors the establishment OF
any proper method by which the bur.
dens" of taxation may be equitahly
Broportioned. te
In speech which. though sensible
aud statesmanliks. was necessarily

attitude toward legislative prohibition
is under the circumstances decidedly
the most interesting feature. As "a
