Refers to Hr. Lees Record.


Editor The Gazette:
I notice in last weeks Gazette that
our supervisor. Mr.. Lee. says that
I have been privately representing
him as being opposed TO free schools
and appropriations for same.
don't think I have misrepresented
Mr.. Lee at all. for I have heard
him express himself on several oc-
casions TO the effect that he did not
believe IN highly educating children.
For few facts turn to the rec
ords and see If you can find anything
that Mr.. Lee has advocated or done
for the improvement OF our schools.
You will find that be voted to re-
duce our district school rate two and
half per cent. lower than contem-
plated by law. 1t was through otner
members of the board that our ap-
portionment was raised after Mr.. II,
5. Bird. who was at that time our
superintendent Of schools. earnestly
requested that the raise be made.
AT Mr.. Marston's suggestion it was
carried that the same school rate be
adopted for the three districts.
I am very glad that Mr.. Lee has
changed his views on the question OF
education. which in my opinion is
the most important question OF today
Ihave been member OF the board
of school trustees since 1906 but my
district has never been able to Sc
cure any of those liberal appropria-
tons that Mr.. Lee mentions, but
probably he is reserving them for
future use. Yours respectfully.

Toby Does Some Feel Tuasllng.

EA- IN OdLcNtcs
Our supervisor OF Powhatan dis
triet surely did hold Toby's 'feet

them some toe. I imagine. But.
Mr.. Editor. the tOasting OF Toby's

These funny things bsing said aLd

DELIVERS
GREAT SPEECH.
MT,JOneS Makes
Converts,

non. WHllam a. Jones, candidate
for the United States Senate against
Hon. 7. S. Martin. came to VII |
hsmsburg Saturday night. and his
visit was not IN vain. He went away.
not only with a number of Martin
votes to his credit. but with the rep
utahon for having delivered the
greatest political speech ever heard
IN Williamsburg.
If there is anything in a mans
ears burning when he is being talk
ed about" surely Mr.. Martins were
on fire for two hours Saturday night.
If ever a public servants record was
held up to ridicHls and scorn; If ever
a senator's political character was
riddled and torn and trampled under
loot, then Senator Martins was Sat
urdsy night. Mr.. Jones not only
accused his formidable antagonist Of
doing many things a Democrat,
senator should not have done. and
Of not doing many other things be
should have done. but he actually
proved It from the records. and what
IS hardest on Martin is that his au-
oience believed what they heard.
There was no disputing it. for the
proof was dead against the defend
ant. Mr.. Martin.
But what made the deepest i'm
preston, perhaps. was the evident
earnestness of the senatorial candi-
date. and the apparent unsel6sh-
ness Of the fight he is making TO re
deem Virginia from the political
stock brokers who control her pub
lie offices.
The speaker was gracefully intro
duced by Mr. Novel L. Henley. q
member of the city committee. who
had charge of Congressman Jones
during his visit here. The audience
was not very friendly at the outset
OF the speech which was opened by
Ar. Jones in explaining that he was
not neRlec6ng his public duties in
making these speeches in behalf OF
his candidacy. II have never neg
lected single bit of public business.
nor have / failed 10 vote on any
matter since the opening of the spec
Ia session. All the work laid down
by the Democratic caucus has been
completed. said Mr.. Jones. Bot,
notwithstanding the United States
Senate has not been in session more
than IS minutes on the average any
day since the opening of the ses,
sion, yet Senator Martin is too busy
70 come before the people of his
state and defend his public record
when it has been assailed. can
not see the importance OF any duties
he has had thus far. and there have
been none to keep him in Washing
