Cazettc Correspondence


Raphine, Aug. 2S.-Owing to the
fact that your correspondent has
been quite i'll and confined to the
house for months past, you have re-
ceived no communications from him,
although several times things have
occurred that he would liked to
bave communicated but was physi-
cslly unable. Although much bet
ter than he was, he is still tar from
being a we'll man and is now writing
this lying on his back. His object
in writing this is to thank you for
the editorial in the last Gazette
and the communication OF w. +. l..
Stark. They both meet my cordial
approval.
When w. A. Jones first announced
that he would be q candidate for the
U. S. Senate / felt glad of it, and
thought from my knowledge of Mr..
Jones that he was the very man to
succeed Senator Martin. But SUBJ
sequent events have changed my
views. The Thompson letters. the
way they we're secured, the true
fact revealed by them had far
better have been relegated to
things of the past. There has been
so many things said and done by
Jones and Glass during their cam
paign that have become heartily
disguised and fear they will disrupt
the Democratic party. Are we to
have another Malone episode? But
as you know l never write on polit-
ical matters, so verbum safe.
Now as to Mr.. Stark's article,
endorse it and wish he had gone
further and said much more abou'
the auto curse. do hope the mex
Legislature will enact some law OF

MARTIN AND SWANSON

Senator Martin in Richmond Mon
day night and Senator Swanson at
Lawrenceville Monday afternoon de-
livered their first addresses in the
present Senatorial campaign. Both
spoke at length and their utterances
were characterized by entire frank
ness and completeness. They met
the charges of their opponents and
answered them to the satisfaction of
their friends. In a campaign filled
with charges OF omission and OF COM
mission, such as have been made by
the two gentlemen seeking the
places occupied by Senators Martin
and Swanson, feeling has at times
run high. and the followers OF
their respective candidates nave es-
poused the causes Of their lavorites
with great earneStpeSS.
Senator Martin for years has been
faithful representative Of Virginia
in the United States Senate, anc
now occupies the leadership of tina

years an efficient member OF tn,

ing his incumbency as Governor O
Virginia the State made rapi,
strides in all departments of pro
gress. During his brief service il
the Senate he has proved his eff
cheney by making good" Virgin

GOOD LEADERSHIP

had the following to say editorially
Of the work in the United States
Senate of Senator Thomas S. Mar
tin:
The splendid record of solidity
and accomplishment which the
Democratic party of both Senate and
House has just achieved in Congress
was due largely to the admirable
leadership it enjoyed under Senator
Martin of Virginia, and Representa-
tive Underwood of Alabama.
Mr.. Underwood won his spurs
and proved his mettle by his wise
handling Of the large majority his
party had in the House. Senator
Martin had a larger problem to
solve. The Democrats mustered a
voting strength of only forty out OF
total of ninety voting Senators.
and his was the task of forcing
Democratic doctrine over the bar.

final votes on the reciprocity, free

His work called for infinite patience
and incessant watchfulness fol

And through it all was the don
