where his prison record Is not known. How In
fnitely better would be his chance to re-estab-

some mechanic trade which would secure him

his Incompetence IL made known. a radical

Sill am a daily reader OF your paper Agree
with YOU fully the liquor question: believe
with YOU entirely that the saloon issue is
of morals. and such there is but side
To Ii. Seeing that you hold to these views and
are .outspoken about ii, and outspoken
other public questions. feel sense Of dis
appointment in seeing any discussion of tn
senator Martin question in your columns All
have seen from YOU is that voters have the
right to express their preference at the polls
or that the nominees al Democrats let
the voters choose for themselves" It Is true
that voters have the right to express their pref
erence at the polls this election question.
so they have on the liquor question. but that
does not keep YOU from trying to influence them
To vote against the saloon by your frequent
editorials on the subject. Now why not come
out IN the open and let US know your Views on
the senator Martin candidacy for the United
states senate believe the people OF Vlr-
ginia who have kept track Of recent events in
the canvass that Mr.. Jones is making for the
senate, think there is much more In Il than
question OF selection between nominees. IL
