cratic Organization May Drop Mann.
REPORT CONES FROM WASHINGTON
Rumor says Leaders Are Alarmed at
Weakness Of Nottoway Mans Can
didaey-AlIeaed That the state Or
. qanization 10 "Rattied."

RICHMOND. VA. April 1.-THE
Evening Journal this afternoon prints
the following special dispatch:
WASHINGTON. d. C.. April IA
The report Is current that the Demo
cratic organization leaders may with
draw their support from Judge Mann
in the gubernatorial contest. HIS
weakness and the failure of the usual
supporters OF the organization to rally
to the support of his candidacy like
they were expected to do. has caused
the leaders to realize the mistake
which was made in trying to force his
nomination.
"A Richmond Democrat Monday ar
ternoon made the confident prediction
that it would soon he known definitely
that the most prominent men In the
organization had taken their hands on
the fight. and would not have any
thing 10 do with the contest. either
for or against Judge Mann.
THE impression is growing here.
created by visiting Virsinians, that
the State organization is considerably
ratified. because of the sudden in
crease of Tucker strength. which has
developed to a remarkable degree In
the course of the past two or three
weeks.
1T is admitted by certain organiza'
ton men that the weakness of Judge
Mann has teen source OF surprise
to many people supporting him. The
fact that Judge Mann had been a
railroad attorney for so many years
and served in the Virginia Senate
for years while he was counsel for the
Norfolk and Western railway. voting
against employers liability bills and
other legislation which the railroads
opposed. was welr known. and its eff
feet upon the voters was considerably
discounted.
But his record in other particulars.
notably during the Confederacy. was
much weaker than anybody had sup
posed. and the successful manner in
which it hes been attacked has star
tied his hackers. 1t appears that the
weakness OF Judge Mann's war record
and the widespread belief that he has,
through organization leaders, reached
an understanding with the liquor peO-
pie Of the State. not to aeitate the
temperance question during his term
of once, should he be elected, has
hurt him with the masses Of the Dem.
ocratic voters to a greater extent than
all other things combined.
His attack ppon Mr.. Tucker for
advocating compulsory education.
which the bill which Judge Mann vo-
ted for at the last session of the Leg
islature proposed to give-that ic, to
leave the question to the people OF
each county, also has tremendous
reflex. 1t is predicted that the Motto
way candidate will not have much
more to say upon the subject Of COM
pulsory education.
Every report which comes to
Washington through visitors from the
State are to the effect that the
strength Of Mr.. Tucker il developing
in almost every county. The predic'
ton has been made that Judge Mann
will feel like Withdrawing from the
contest before midsummer. although,
Of course. no one Is authorized to
speak for him in such . matter"

PENSION LEGISLATION ABUSES

The Alexandria Gazette Is among

absurdly large number OF special pen

both North and South. appear to have
become resigned to these annual raids
upon the treasury.
