ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. l.

THE American who, occupying a
position OF authority, or having the
public car, assails and attacks our
courts-now, as they have always
been. the seats of justice and OF
equity--is to be regarded as public
enemy and be so branded by any
reasonable man." In the above state
ment John Alden Dix, democratic
nominee for governor, when IN
Thompson, N. Y, today was formally
notified of his nomination, thus attack
ed Theodore Roosevelt, who, he claim
ed, forced the nomination OF Henry l..
Stimson by the Saratoga republican
convention. "The courts are the very
bulwarks OF our free institutions, he
said, and without tribunals in which
all men have confidence and from which
all men are certain Of justice and civil
ization would cease and anarchy prevail
Discussing the New Nationalsm,"
Mr.. Dix characterized Roosevelt as an
apostle OF discord and dissention," and
said:
We have already had ample proof OF
bis ability to disturb business, destroy
value and create a condition OF pane,
country wide in its evil effects. But it,
with all that, he is to be permitted to
succeed in his campaign to weaken or
destroy the powers Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States TO take over
the central government the powers re-
served to the states, to substitute the
will OF the president for the will of the
people, and to set arbitrary bounds to
what any man by ability and enter
prise may legitimately secure, then all
the sacrifices made by the founders OF
the republic will have been in vain,
and we shall in a time OF profound
peace dangerous disturbed, bringing
about the destruction OF a free people
against whom all the forces 10 the
world in arm might have beed hurled
in vain.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

While J. Peter Holland, OF South
ampton, has announced his withdrawal
from the race of the new democratic
congressional nomination in the Second
district, his name will appear on the
ballots, all OF which have been printed
and distributed for Fridays primary.
w. A. Young yesterday declared that
while in the old primary there were no
issues except the personality OF the can
didates, the recent movement upon
the part OF the people against machine
control through the State and the nom-
nation OF any man for Congress who
will not pledge himself as opposed to
the State machine makes one OF the
issues in the present campaign plain
and clear.
Young then called upon State Senator
E. E. Holland, an aspirant for the con-
gressional nomination, to declare
whether he is for or against Senator
Martin for reelection TO the United
States Senate. !" 1t will not do, F." said
Young, for Senator Holland in the face
of such an issue as this, to content
himself with reference to his past record
or to deceive himself that the people
will be satisfied with the declaration
simply that he is independent. y
Senator Holland said, after reading
the Young statement, that he would
reply in his Norfolk speech tonight.
will you say whether you are for or
against United States Senator Martini"
he was asked. No, be replied, be-
cause I am neither for nor against any
one in this fight.

less than $3.50 per year for some years
past. The law requires that official
acts &c OF the city be published in an
Alexandria paper and as the Gazette is
the onlypaper published here there is
no other medium through which to

The agreement under which the
city printing is now being done was
entered into with his father over fifty
years ago and matters had gone on
this way eyer since.
Mr.. Snowden then read the school
laws to sustain his position, and
and declared that he would not remain
member of Council in which he had
served 25 years, if he did not feel that
he had legal and moral right to be
there.
Mr.. Brockett asked permission to
speak. He was sorry that Mr.. Snow
den had taken his remarks person
ally, but did not think it right for
members to hold Office or sell to the
city and receive money and thus indi-
rectly receive money for their Council
services.
Mr.. Snowden resented the insinua-
ton that men who gave their services
free to the city should be classed as
grafters; he had served many years in
this body and no such charge had
ever been made before; he was not will
ing to admit that the two new members

he had served with one of these men,
