o the Voters Of the Third Congressional District Of Virginia:

He is highly esteemed and popular with his
fellow Congressman of both parties, to whom he
has been known for such a long time, and his
years of service and ability have earned for him
most important positions on committees. For
eight years he has been the ranking minority
member of the Agricultural Committee, the
third if not the second, most important COM
mttee in the House. He>-is now the oldest
member of that committee in point of service
and for twelve years has been on its sub-com-
mttee to make up appropriations for the COM
mttee and in addition to this he is the rank
ing Democrat on the Committee on Expend-
lures in the Treasury Department.
From his long experience on the Agricultural
Committee and his position the ranking
Democrat on it, there is every reason to believe
that in the election of a Democrat Congress he
will become chairman of this great committee, an
honor and an important position which he well
deserves and which Richmond and the counties
of this district will be proud to see bestowed upon
their representative.
In the interest of this district we ask for the
denomination of Hon. John Lamb at the Dem
ocratic Primary to be held August 9th, as we
believe from his long service, he is particularly
we'll qualified to represent it, and respect
fully solicit your vote and influence for the con-
tinuaton of the valuable services of an exper-
fenced, faithful and influential Congressman
which this district cannot afford to lose.

LONE GIRL GRADUATE '.
WON'T HEAR SERMON
Advised by Pastor Not to AT
tend Service in Baptist
Church.

GLOUCESTER. y. j., June 81
There, was a baccalaureate sermon
preached in the Baptist church here
last night. but the graduating class OF
the Gloucester High School didn't
hear 1t. Miss Mary Cakes, who Is
the class this year, didn't go to the
services, and the sermon. preached
by the Rev. William Haines, was lis
tened to by some OF the members of
the board of education and school
teachers.
All preparations had been made
/ for the exercises. and the lone grad
uate was to have been given all the
honors that are usually accorded a
large class But the hitch in the pro-
gram came at last mass in ST. Mary s
Catholic church this morning.
The Rev. Charles Giese. rector OF
the church. spoke about the lone
graduate. She is a Catholic" he said
and 1t is not right for the board oil
education to ask her TO go to Pro-
testant church to hear the baccalau-
reate sermon preached. The board
| should have consulted her In the mat
ter. 1t is the usual custom 10 have
| the graduates decide where the ser
/ mon shall be preached. and II was
the duty Of the board to allow her q
/ choice In the matter, instead of de-
Gliding for itself. 1t is a poor policy
under the circumstances"
| He then advised Miss Cakes and
! the other members of his congrega-
tion not To attend the services in the
Baptist church. Last night. when the
services began, Miss Cakes was absent
Four Catholic school teachers didn't
