AN ENDLESS CHAIN
LETTER IS FOUGHT
Richmond Postal Authorities
Aid in General Campaign
Against 1t.

Information received by the local
post office authorities from a we'll
known woman of the city las: week
has led to the disclosure that an end
less-chain letter. which post office IN
spectors throughout the country have
been trying to break up for many
months. has been largely circulated
throughout Richmond. The letter
states that II 100000 used stamps are
sent to Miss Mills" of Philadelphia
within certain time they will pro-
vide for the erection OF a children's
ward in hospital In Australia, and
the request is made Of the receiver
that he or she send ten cancelled
stamps to Miss Mills and three let
tiers to friends. asking them to do
likewise. In this manner an endless
chain is created.
The purpose OF the scheme seems
to have completely baffled the postal
authorities. As Cancelled stamps are
absolutely valueless there is no ap-
parent fraud. and yet 1t is believed
there is something behind the scheme
despite its seeming righteousness.
Several post office inspectors have
branded 1t as an act of a person Of an
unbalanced mind. The mail has never
been called for at the Philadelphia Of
flee.
Local authorities became aware of
the presence OF the chain in Richmond
last week when prominent woman
resident consulted them regarding
sending out other letters as the one
she received had requested. She said
she was afraid there was something
wrong in the affair but she also had
fear that IL she didn't do as requested
she might lose an opportunity Of help.
ing a worthy cause. Loca; officials
who had heard of the chain in other
cities, advised her against mailing the
letters and they were withheld. In.
vestigation showed there have been a
number of Richmond residents who
have received letters Of the same chain
and have kept 1t intact by sending out
others according to the request.

Dear Sir:

myself booked for two meetings at the same
time, and it will be impossible for me to ar
range to be absent from the other appointment.
1t would give me great pleasure to address

they present themselves to my mind. The
success Of the Primary Election System de-
ponds upon the demonstration Of the fact that
the Democratic masses. after choosing their
candidates, can show team play at the general
election and elect the candidates they have
chosen by direct vote. We have platform
that should satisfy every progressive Demo-
crat and the promises of the candidates speci-
ically support the platform pledges. This
State election is of the greatest Importance
nationally. The loss of the State to the Demo-
cratic party at this time would be heralded
abroad as victory for Republican national
policies and would be decided setback to
the party in the nation, and I earnestly urge
all Democrats to come sout and give us a
sweeping victory.
Very truly yours,
BLAIR LEE.
