He followed the main line OF the

ers of the dominant element of the

as the machine, and assailing Swan
sons administration as Governor. lie
declared that Swanson was not the
author of many of the progressive
measures attributed to him; that he
signed away $500 900 surplus in
the State treasury; that during his
administration he collected about
100000 more than his predeces-
sor had done, and had left a bank

Mr.. Glass replied that in voting for
these slight increases he had not VIC
lated his conscience or the C0nstitu-

which this had been done had hand
ed over to Swanson a surplus OF
$500, 900, whereas, under Swanson
the Constitution had been trampled
under foot to increase salaries from
so TO 100 per cent, and this had
bankrupted the treasury. He said

of Virginia, as managed by Com
