BARBOUR THOMPSON
ON FAMOUS LETTERS
Admits They Are Genuine But
Are Misrepresented
DENIES "YELL0W DOG" FUND
Says Railroads Helped to Maintain
White Supremacy

Ga, conspicuously mentioned in the
Virginia Senatorial campaign re-
Gently, arrived in New York Satur-
day aboard the Lusitania from
abroad. He was shown the publ
cations that attributed to him the
handling Of a yellow dog" fund
some years ago in Virginia. Mr..
Thompson slowly read the articles
now being printed in the campaign
OF Congressman VIM. A Jones
against Senator Thomas S. Martin.
When finished. Mr.. Thompson
paused as il TO catch his breath aad
then began:
Il am not a citizen Of Virginia
now, and prefer not to be brought
into this matter. On the face OF
these letters, which are construed
as having reference to a yellow
dog fund, l will say that the State
Legislature threshed this matter
out. Twas a witness before it's CON-
mittee, and its report and the Legis-
lature's action are matters OF record.
For example, it is claimed that
these letters show that yellow
dog fund had been provided by the
railroads and that Senator Martin
was one OF the railroad agents for
the disbursement Of this fund. This
is, OF course. intended to make on
the public mind the impression that
the railroads had subscribed and
we're using corruption fund.
Such a statement is absolutely
false. There was no yellow dog
o. corruption fund, so far as ever
heard or believe. Virginia has. in
my belief, always been free from
any such corruption and does not
deserve this stigma. Certainly, so
far as an attempt is made to link my
name with any such fund. 1 indig-
nantly repudiate it and denounce it
as false.
Il was personally active in my
cooperation in respect to these
matters for about ten years-from
1884 to 1S94-first under my uncle,
the late Senate. John S. Barbour,
and afterwards under Chairman
Basil B. Gordon, since deceased,
and Chairman ]. Taylor Ellyson of
the Democratic State Committee,
and in cordial association much of
the time with Mr.. Martin and Mr.
Jones, both of whom were during
much. If not all, of that period mem
bers of the Democratic Executive
Committee and conversant with it's
work.
AS | say. do not remember the
letters nor the exact circumstances
under which they were written. but
l would construe us as meaning
the railroads, and that when | was
to a railroad man, such as
General Logan, for contribrti ons. l
was giving him the assurance, which
| myself felt, that the Democratic
managers, including Chairman Ell
Tyson. who we're asking the rail-
roads for help, were not doing so
with the traitorous purpose of first
getting railroad aid and then enter
ing upon q program of unfairness
and destruction against them, but
could be depended upon for fair
treatment, and to let it be known, if
occasion should require to prevent
injustice, that the railroads had as
sisted in upholding the Democratic
party. and were entitled to fairness
at it's hands,"

FARMERS GATHER IN
CITY OF STAUNTON
President Davis Attacks Activity
Of Lobbyists
IN THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE
Governor Mann Delivers Address on
Agricultural Possibilities

bAplalnlnR why the agricultural
interest OF Virginia had failed to Sc
cure from recent sessions OF the
General Assembly Legislation de.
handed, President Westmoreland
Davis, in his annual address before
the Virginia State Farmers Insti-
tute Thursday morning in Staunton,
read list Of twenty-five bills be-
lieved to have been inimical to in.
terests of certain public service
corporations, the defeat OF which
was secured by an ever-watchful.
paid lobby. Many OF the bills, he
said there was a reason to believe,
would, il enacted. have been for the
benefit Of the community.
Other features OF the presidents
address were an attack on the State
Board of Agriculture for failure to
cooperate with the State Farmers
Institute, though it had funds avail
able for the purpose; sarcastic re-
ference to the president OF the South
ern Railway, which corporation wss
charged with collecting the last
penny of exorb;tant rates to pay
dividends on heavily watered stock
a demand for election of corporation
commissioners by the people, and
for the passage of unamended legis
latiOn for the farming interests.
Governor William Hodges Mann.
at the afternoon session, replied
partly to Mr.. Davis, admitting that
all other interests but those of the
farmer we're represented by lobby
in the General Assembly. The
Governor prefaced his address on
Agricultural Possibilities in Vir
GINA" by some remarks in answer
to the address OF President Davis.
making it clear that financial limita
tions had prevented the adoption
by the last General Assembly OF
measures otherwise acceptable.
With limited income and constantly
increasing demands, be said, the
State could not do everything it de-
sired to do. The Governor strong.
ly Endorsed the proposed lime bill,
regretting it's failure at the last ses.
sion, and promising to recommend
its passage. He stated that he had
arranged a conference of Virginia
railway presidents, to be held in
Richmond on September l, to dis
cuss freight charges on agricultural
lime, and he was certain that some
reduction would result. The insti.
tute was invited to send representa-
tiveS to the conference.
The Governor avoided politics in
his remarks, saying that he himself
desired no Office in the gift of the
people. He merely asks the CO.
operation of the farming interests
that a record ofagricultural develop
ment might be made during his ad-
ministration.
1t does sometimes seem, he
said, that you have no friends ir

these bills. The mobilization OF the
promissory note. the system which en-
ables Europe to transform bills into
bank credits as quickly as staples or
securities, is the explanation Of Eu-
ropes success where we have failed.
This then is the machinery which
the business men OF the country have
come 70 regard as necessary to the
achievement Of one OF the country's
greatest economic needs, that Is. an
elastic currency which shall forever
relieve us of the fear Of money panics
and free us from the fear of control
by small number OF men. This re-
alization has been long time In
coming principally because hereto
fore when currency matters have been
under discussion there has been a dis
position to leave the matter to some
OF the big men in Wall treet who
usually have maintained that the sys-
tenn Is good enough as 1t is. They
sometimes had to suspend currency
payments under 1t, but they always
got high rates for call money during
the crop moving season and they were
long headed enough TO protect them
selves against the breaks In the stock
market which came with tight money.
1t is now apparent, however, that
the practical business men of the
country have come to realize that they
have just as much or more at stake
in the question of the form. volume
and security of the money OF the ma
ton as have the bankers. bond dealers
and Wall Street brokers and that as
the chief sufferers from acute f1uctu-
atoms in the currency supply or from
money panics they have the same
right to be consulted in teh consider
alton OF financial legislation which
has to do with the present inadequate
system. 1t has taken them a century
and quarter to reach this point Of
view but from the manner in which
they arc expressing themselves from
all parts Of the country there is little
doubt that 1t now cannot be long be-
fore their activities viii bring about
the achievement Of a long desired
elastic currency.
