GLASS SPEAKS AT LYNCHBURG
Declares Daniel Accused Junior Sena-
tor of Betraying His Friends.

Congressman Glass addressed an au-
dience Of a thousand people at Lynch
burg Tuesday night. He spoke for
nearly two hours.
Mr.. Glass surprised his audience by
declaring that Senator Daniel before
his death, distrusted the motives OF Mr..
Swanson, and when he read personal
letter to himself from Major Daniel,
he added:
There's a difference between a
statesman and gentleman, and a pea
nut politician. -
He declared Major Daniel had held
Swanson in utter distrust, and that the
present senior Senator from Virginia
had told him that he (DanieD charged
Swanson to his face with being guilty
of betraying his friends. He stated
that Major Daniel said, eight months
before his death, that he was afraid
Swanson, in his absence, would attempt
TO run for his seat in the Senate, and
that two weeks before he went to Flor
ida Senator Daniel called Mr.. Glass to
his private chamber and begged him to
keep out of the papers that he had a
stroke of apoplexy, saying, There are
people who are watching for it. "
"Who did he meam?" asked Mr..
Glass, amid a hushed stiffness.
"And yet he seeks to extenuate his
conduct by calling the relatives of the
Lame Lion TO his rescue" he shout
ed.
IL never heard it before stated that
| was not a friend of Senator Daniel,
and that he was not friend of mine,
and Mr.. Glass proceeded to read a
number of letters written to him by
Senator Daniel, in which he showed the
warm affection Major Daniel exhibited
for him.
He read letters from Eugene Withers
and Joseph Button, to show his active
support given the effort to engraft the
EMPLOYERS liability section in the State
Constitution, declaring that copies of
these same letters were before Senator
Swanson when Swanson made his
charges Of his enmity to that measure
in his Lawrenceville speech, and, he
shouted, Swanson knew it was a de-
Hberate falsehood, because he had these
letters.
MIR. Glass declared that everybody in
Virginia knows where he stands on
every question. but if any one knows
where his competitor stands on any
controverted question, he had never
heard of it.
Mr.. Glass said that he had inter
viewed all fourteen of the Democratic
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and all Of them condemned The
conduct of his competitor with regard
to buying American Tobacco Company
stock on margins, and all, be said, SAID
his plea in extenuation was worse thar

His speech against the "r.ac aine
methods was along lines Of his former
address.

WATER FOR NORMAL SCHOOL
Connection Made Direct With Reservoir

Connection Made Direct With Reservoir
Superintendent S. B. Quinn has
finished connecting the pipes with
the city reservoir on the Western
Heights for supplying city water
to the Fredericksburg state Nor
NAL school. A ten-inch pipe has
been connected with the reservoir
and a four inch pipe connects with
this, carrying the water to the
buildings of the Normal School.
This arrangement will afford the
school all the water it needs.
