dragged there and left so that the i'm
preston might be that she was killed
by the train. Had the engine struck

GOVERNOR SWANSON

Gov. Swanson leaves the office oil
Governor with the consciousness that
in the discharge of an exalted trust he
has earned the "well done" of his peo-
pie, and that they give it him without
stint and give in measure full and IN
spirit earnest and sincere. No prouder
record than this can public servant
well covet-certainly no need OF honor
greater that this, can people bestow.
In a few-a very circumstances, II
may have happened that the News did
not agree with the views and acts. OF
the retiring Executive. But, bearing
these rare occasions of differences IN
view. we have observed much TO APP
plaud in the energy, the untiring indus
try, and the fidelity and ability with
which Gov. Swanson has so fully
measured up to the requirements OF his
Office. The best wishes of this news
paper follow the now Ex-Governor, as
he laws down the burden Of high civic
obligation with which the Virginia
electorate honored him four years since
and seeks a season of well deserved
rest and relaxation. Editorial 10 Lynch
