We are devout believers in
Fair Play" and in the exercies
OF its precepts even in prosecuting
q Campaign against a political
opponent. For this reason we
allied to be impressed as we
otherwise might have been by
Hon. Carter Glass speech here
on Saturday. 1t is only fair to
Mr.. Glass to say that his speech
was strong and forceful preser-
tation Of his side of the case bur
that he was at times unfair and
inclined to misrepresent his distin-
guished opponent was aIpare Mt
to all unbiased hearers.
His assertion that rotton cleo
tim methods prevail in some
places is indisputable. We have
never defended such methods and
never expect to do SO but when he
states that Claud a, Swanson, as
governor. bankrupted the treas
ury Of Virginia, leaving at the ex-
piration of his term Of office. a de-
fiCit of $50. 900, when the facts are
that the Legiglature spent the
money, we think he steps triffle
too fast. Again, when he states
that Governor Montague left
SUI plus OF $500 900 IN the state
treasury and that The state reve-
nue. during Mr. Swausons admin
istration was 81 600. 900 greater
than it was during the Germ of his
predecessor (Which is true) and
then accounts for the present de-
pleted state of the treasury bv the
increase of state officers and their
salaries, he is patiently unjust.
The fact is, that 5000, 900 repres
ents the increase in salaries, leav
ing. balance of 4,IOo 600 of
this extra rev enue to be spent for
good school. good roads. and in
carrying forward other progressive
IN, vements in the State Had he
meant to be fair he might have stated
that over $500. 600 worth of state bonds
were taken in and cancelled during
Senator Swanson term of office and
admitted that the tremendous advance
of the State in all lines necessilated
more public offices.
His consistency is also question able
when he states with a great deal of
emphasis, that talk of a Democrat
accomplishing anything in Republic
can Congress is all "bosh''. that Sena
tor Swanson, while in Congress did
nothing and at the same time boasts
that he GLASS; secured more appro
priations than any congressman from
Virginia and appeals to the voters Of
this State TO take him from a House
now. Democratic and send him to a
ReSublicna Senate, where according
TO his own statement. no Democrat can
accomplish ANYTHING. His t i T ade
agains' the Machine, of which he SAYS
the Senior Senator from Virginia is
the head, may be taken for what it Is
worth. 1t is remembered that his vSte
and lnhuence six years ago went 10 !
SepatoT Maltin' over Hon. "A. J. Mon !
taSue, whom he would like so well.now
TO see IN the Senate and to whose cam
palgn fund he would have contributed
5000 il Mr.. Montague would have
male this fight, which he (Glass) had
no desire to make.
1t is Of course, impossible to saw
that any candidate has all the right
ON his side, or that another is all
wrong, we can only trust that the peo-
pie will defer their decision until
thew hear Mr.. Swanson s side of the
case and then vote as their concience
dictates.
