MARTIN AND SWANSON
AT NEWPORT NEWS

Following nonpolitical addresses
delivered at the Labor Day cele-
bration at Buckroe Beach Monday
Senators Swanson and Martin Mon
day night addressed a fair sized
crowd in Newport News and were
siven a cordial welcome.
Senator Martin spoke first, and
In an address lasting more than
an hour repeated much OF the
speech he has been delivering since
taking the stump. He made no de-
tense or explanation of the Glasgow
letters, and his only reference to
the charges on this score made by
Congressman Jones was that he
had not only received the $500,
but had raised thousands of dollars
for the redemption of the state
from negro rule If there was such
thing as a yellow dog fund, he
said, Mr.. Jones got his divyy. HIS
address was taken up chiefly in de-
Tense of his vote on tariff measures
and he declared that N every IN
stance in which he is charged with
voting with Senator Aldrich, Sena-
tor Daniel did likewise. He ridicu-
led the record of his opponent, Con-
gresham Jones, who, he said, had
accomplished nothing in the House
during the Twenty years he has
been In office. =.
Senator Swanson confined himself
chiefly to a refutation of the charg-
es made by Congressman Glass and
a revie' of his record and achieve
ments while governor, congressman
and senator. Both speakers denied
and ridiculed the idea of political
ring ruled over by Senator Martin.

GORDON AND DOWNING SPEAK

At a Jones and Glass rally in
Charlottesville Monday aftcrnoo
addresses were delivered by II.
Lindsay Gordon, of Louisa. and T.
y. Downing, of Lancaster.
Mr.. Gordon, discussing the Bar
bour Thompson and Glasgow let
tiers. declared that Senator Martin
was not only a railroad lobbyist but
the leader Of the lobby.
The speaker discussed ring rule,
claiming that out of the forty-odd
judges in the State OF Virginia,
only two, certainly not more than
three. would vote for Jones; that
even the judiciary were lined up be-
hind Martin; that all other class
es of citizens were divided; that
there was a remarkable unanimity
among the officeholders of the
State; that the ring rule was evil
in two respects-first, that il was
expensive, having practically dOub-
led the cost of the State govern
ment in ten years. and second, be
cause il selected only men who were
willing to obey a leader; that hon
est, independent men, who would
obey only the dictates OF their
consciences. were excluded from
place and power. and that only the
servile were acceptable TO the
ring.
Mr.. Downing argued along the
same lines of thought, giving in
diyidual instances of the result OF
ring rule. His tribute 10 Congress
man Jones. his neighbOr and friend
with a recital of his Democratic rec
ord, brought forth much applause
Mr.. Downing appealed to his auditors
to rid the State of ring rule. and
put the leadership in the hands OF
representative Virginia Democrat
who could not get appropriations be
cause he could not cultivate the
friendship of Cannon and Aldrich.

MARTINS SPEECH At STAUNTOH

Senator Martin Tuesday night at
Stanton spoke nearly two hours 10
svmpatbetic audience of 300 persons,
who literally applauded the points he
made against Mr.. Jones. lie said mat
Jones was the ranking Democratic
member of the House, but that he had
never accomplished anything in the
more than twenty years of his service.
When the House was reOrganlzed at
the extra session, the only honor con-
ferred on Jones was that he was al
lowed. on account of his seniority, to
choose his seat without drawing for IT.,
and he was made chairman Of the un-
important Committee Of lnsuar Affairs.
He analyzed some of his votes with
Aldrich that Jones attacked, and he
claimed they were right He charged
Jones with suppressing the facts that
these votes we're all on amendments,
and that on the final vote on the Dill as
a whole, he voted against 1t.
He has voted against every protective
tariff bill since ne has been IN Congress.
The Thompson letters he discussed
briefly.
He said he had, time and again, gone
TO New York to appeal to railroad
presidents for money ard to carry the
election for the Democrats to main.
tain white supremacy. and he charged
that Jones was using all he could get II
the same way. The money alluded tC
in the Thompson letters, he said, was t'
repay advances made in the previous
campaign. /,
Senator Martin claimed he would bt
nominated in the primary by 25,oO'

DIR LAX DIVORCE LAWS

Lawyers and laymen all over the
country continue to urge the import
ance, aye the necessity, Of uniform
divorce laws and yet State leglSla-
lures come and go. but the laws re-
lating to divorce remain in the same
cid haphazard shape and legal sep
arations between husband and wiIe
continue to multiply to the shame
of this country and every State IN IT,
except South Carolina where no d.
yorces are possible. The Astor-Force
engagement has brought prominent
" before the public the agitation IN
favor of uniformity in divorce laws
and in this respect has served a good
purpose, though it is hard to under
stand why these two people should
be singled out at this time as aw1ul
examples of depravity, when as a
matter of fact rich men and poor
men all over the country are mar
ried year by year under exactly SIM
liar circumstances. Presumably Col.
Astor's immense wealth has focused
public attention on the coming nup-
tials between himself and MISS

torious for him and his fiancee, but,
as stated. his case is no different,
neither better nor worse. than thous-
ands of others and the fault lies IN
the shameful laxity Of our divorce
laws. 1t is disagreeable thing to
admit, but it is nevertheless true
that il is almost as easy to secure a
divorce in Virginia as it is in num-
Der of the Western States, where
this traffic has become so notorious.
Desertion for three years, two or
three witnesses that the parties have
not lived together for that length OF
time, evidence that reconciliation

which breaks the sacred tie which
united the parties as man and wlfe.
Shortly afterwards in many cases

should be without fault, marrles

ant. whose act of desertion brings
about the divorce. is also able to
marry under the laws of some other
State and once married outside OF
Virginia brings his or her spouse
back to Virginia without danger OF
fear of any consequences. Such
things are disgraceful and should nc
longer be tolerated. We have uni
formity of legislation on billsand ne
gotiable notes. Is this more import
ant than the matter Of divorce?

A CAMPAIGN OF BITTERNESS


II is a sad spectacle to members oil

of the primary system OF nomna-

Int none of those which have gone
before have ever approached the
present one in that respect. Charges
of every character, vituperaton'

disrupt a political party has found

SAYS MARTIN RULES RING"
Jones and Glass Speaks at Two Meet
ings in Richmond.

Under the auspices of the Vir-
ginia Democratic League two meet
ings were held Monday night IN
Richmond. one at the Jefferson Ho-
tel auditorium. and the other at
Liberty Hall, the voters at each
being addressed alternately by Con-
gresham Jones, opposing Senator
Martin in the senatorial nomination
fight. and by Congressman Glass.
opposing Senator Swanson. The at
tendance at each place was good,
and considerable interest was mani
tested
The speeches of both congressman
were along the lines as others de-
livered MIR. Jones contended that
Senator Martin acted as agent OF
the railroads in distributing a "yel-
low dog" fund at a session OF the
legislature, and declared that the
disclosures made in the Glasgow
Thompson letters ought TO be suf-
ficient to turn voters from his OPP
ponent, whom he charged with be-
ing the leader of the ring, which
are wrecking the Democratic party
in Virginia.
New material was introduced by
Mr.. Jones in the form of another
letter from Senator Martin to MT
Glasgow.
