Farmer says
Now is the time to begin planning

ment or amusement, the time ana
money will be largely wasted betlet

ORGANIZE AGAINST THE FEES

Several days ago the Norfolk Nir-
glnian-Pilot said that at the recent
convention OF the Clerks of Courts,
Senator Martin had urged upon them
the necessity of organization for the
accomplishment OF the purposes they
have in view. We are now advised
that Senator Martin has never given
any such counsel, and how the report
originated we have not the least means
OF knowing. II certainly did not orig
mate with The Dispatch.
In explaining, however. that Senator
Martin was misrepresented in this mat
ter we would say that whoever made
the suggestion certainly did not I'M
derestimate the value Of organization
as a means to an end, and we would.
therefore, urge upon the people who

II will not be candidate for Pres

actly what Mr.. Bryan would like 1t to
do, does 1T not follow that he would
be the only available candidate for
President? Could he not be drafted

be indisposed? What we should like

Mr. Bryan is reported to have been
pleased with the statement of the Col
onel that 1.-THE time had come for cor.
porations to be driven from politics.
But why should corporations be driver

have a large interest in good govern

has his money invested in The Com
