CHAIRMAN SLEMP GIVES EVIL
pENcE OF A BAD MEMORY.

Republican State Chairman Siemp
appears to be determined that the
,:oucr question shall be made sn Issue
In the present State campaign. IL
was taken for granted that this was
his intention when he gave out
statement a few days ago to the ef-
feet that he had been told by Rev.
J. A Taylor. superintendent OF the
Southwest bureau OF the Anti-saloon
League that petitions would be cir
cuIated Immediately after the Novem-
Der election asking the legislature to
SUBMIT the statewide prohibition
question 10 a vote Of the people. Now
he Is out with an interview In which
he attempts TO convey the impression
that Judge Mann, the Democratic
candidate for governor, has not made
plain his position in regard to the
liouor question. The interview ap-
reared in the Norfolk Ledger-Dtspatch
yesterday. In his reference to the
Democratic candidate. Mr.. Slemp
overlooked certain facts.
Tiscussing Speaker Byrd's assertion
ts.st there would be no important IL
quor legislation during the next ses-
sion of the assembly in connection
with Rev. Mr.. Taylor's statement. Mr..
Slemp says:
Let the press of the State ask
Judge Mann specifically II he would
VETO resolution passed by the next
legislature of Virginia. submitting TO
the qualified voters of the State the
question of statewide prohibition.
Ascertain from him a definite reply.
yes CT NO. which no one has yet been
able to secure"
Which no one has yet been able
10 secure Surely the Republican
chairman must be developing bad
memory. We cannot believe that he
would deliberately make such state
ment as this II he read the newspa-
yers during the recent Democratic
primary and remembered what he
read. Everybody who knows anything
about the primary campaign at all
knows that both Judge Mann and has
unsuccessful opponent. Mr.. Tucker,
we're closely catcch.zed by the officials
Of the Anti-Ssloon League and that
18th Of them declared that In inc
event the legislature passed bill
submitting tho statewide prohibition
question 10 vote Of the people they
would sign u Judge Mann made this
declaration ever and over again in his
specch-s. and Mr.. Tucker put himself
On reccrd more than once.
Mr.. siemp further suggests that the
press address letter 10 each Of ths

CITY IS READY TO PAY
$4,000 N CLAIMS
WILL CASH GENERAL FUND
WARRANTS UP TO oCTo-
BER /, 1907.

Thomas Dealey, the city treasurer,
will issue a call today upon about
$1,000 OF general fund warrants, and
with the money now on hand pay
ment on general fund claims will be
made up to October !, 1907. AS soon
as the call is issued interest stops on
the warrants. The interest rate is
6 per cent, and another call will also
be made in a few days, probably.
Taxes will now be coming in. After
all of the tax moneys have been re-
ceived and applied on outstanding
general fund warrants it is expect
ed all claims will then have been
paid up to within three quarters of a
year. At present the city is behind
in its payments about l6 months.
In other words the city is not able
to pay cash as it goes, though this
does not argue that the municipality
is badly off financially. 1t is simply
behind a little and is slowly catch
ing up, though the excess of expendi-
lures over the levy last year retard-
ed this materially. Meantime all gen
eral fund warrants are taken eager
ly and are cashed at once by banks or
others who wish to earn the 6 per
cent they draw.
All those who hold general fund
warrants dated before October l.
1907, should get their cash on them
now, for the interest will stop after
today.

for $4,000 and Mrs. Annie Isner. who
asked for $4,000 After hearing the
