Toby" On The Political Situation.
Toano, Va. August p.

Toano, Va. August q.
Ed. The Gazette.
Since MesSrs. Jones and Glass have
proven to the voters of Virginia that
the state has been ruled for a good
many years by a ring Of corrupt
politicians. who have proven them
selves traitors to their party and their
state. the question now is. how much
longer viii the voters allow this ring
to control the affairs Of the state?
The voters can no longer plead
ignorance. they must now choose
between the good and the bad. as it
viii be put squarely up TO them at
the next primary. and if such men
as Martin and Swanson and the small
ler fry of office seekers who are sup
porting them and doing all they can
TO have this ring continued in power,
win. then the Big -Four" should no
longer be made the scapegoat of the
party but the party itself should
shoulder the responsibility of having
DETAINED the far name Of Virginis
and given her the reputation among
her sister states of being one of the
most dishonest and corrupt in IN,
union.
The voters should turn their back
upon every candidate up before th'
primary, let him be for office grea
or small. who IS known to be in favo
Of this ring or its corrupt methods
1 Some of these candidates are Iyin,
low and keeping quiet. waiting Ill
after the primary to express them
srlves, or not express themselves a
all. but il IS safe to guess that thos
who fail to come out boldly agains
this ring are in favor of it. and tn
man who votes for such men as thes
after knowing who and what the
are and what they have done for th
state. are no better than they are an
should DC disfranchised. if nothin
else. for he is a traitor to himself an
his country. Tody.

Hon. w. J. Bryan. in a letter writ

dacy of the Hon. w. A Jones for
United States senator. Mr.. Bryan
says:
My dear Mr.. Jones:
Recent events in other states give
increasing reason to hope for your
success. The election Of Gov. Ho<e
Smith to the Senate was a triumph
for progressive Democracy. and the
signal victory won by Congressman
James in Kentucky IS another indioa-
ton Of the trend Of sentiment toward
aggressive action. Surely a man OF
your ability and experience. standing
for democracy Of the Jefferson and
Jackson type. ought to be elected
over a candidate ike Senator Martin
whose instincts, environment and re.
cord combine 20 make him the las
man to be thought Of in connection
with the Senatorship.
Our party is making progress
but it has a real fight before It q
overcome the powerful influence ex
erted by Wall Street and the predatorl
interests that made that their hidinl
place. Il am grateful to the demo
cTacy of Virginia for the splendi'
support it has given me, and I fe,
sure that it viii stand by you an

WOULD ESCAPE
 CONTEMPT FINE

Attorney Sidney J. Hunt of Pine Bluff, who was fined $5,000 and sent enced to six months imprisonment for contempt of court by Chancellor Mar tineau in Little Rock Saturday after noon is today seeking to secure writ of supersedeas from Supreme Judges Sam Frauenthal, c. D. Wood and J. c. Hart, in order that the punishment may be reviewed by the supreme court. The supreme court has ad- journed for the summer, but any one or all of the judges composing the court may hear matter of this kind and grant such writ if they see fit at any time.
 Mir. Hunts penalty, which is said to be the severest ever administered in a contempt case, was assessed on account of his refusal to turn over to the attorneys of the opposing side stenographic notes of hearing on an application for bail in Jefferson county murder case before Judge Mar tineau. Mir. Hunt is well known in this city and is a graduate of Hen drix College.
