Che Best Day Of the Dear

I he day of all the gladstone year
Which l dearly love the best;
The one l think the most of,
More than ali The rest;
The one whose coming brightens
My face and makes il shine,
Is that early day in April
When cast my first fish line.
You may talk about your Christmas
(And I'll join in praising tna)
You may welcome blooming Easter
With its wondrous looking hat;
You may ave about the BIRTHDAYS
OF the men who aid their best,
But give me the first days fishing
And you may have the rest.
I've been waiting long since autumn
For this balmy spring-lil<e day;
I've dreamed ABOUT It MANY a night
nnd thought of it Away;
L atriOtic and religious moods.
Have been colored by the wish
That the wheels of time would hurry
And bring the time to fish.

THURSDAY JUNE 22ieii

IN accordance with their usual
custom the officials of the Virgin
Ia Anti-SalOOn League have ques-
toned the four Senatorial candi-
dates regarding their position on
certain temperance issues. In
order that our readers may be in
formed as to what stand these
gentlemen took in answering the
queries of the League we will
print next week a copy of their
replies. a rush of other matter
prevented their publ cation in
this edition.
l, IS gratifying to note that the
answers of all are favorable to
temperance. I h Anti-saloon
League will have no Just cause
to officIa ly champion the cause
of either.
what will eventually be the
funeral dirge of Fusionism so
deeply rooted in Norfolk County
was heard on Monday when in
answer to appeals made by the
stralghtOut Democratic candida
ties IN that section letters were
received from each Of the four
Senatorial aspirants denouncing
this combination and favOring the
election OF clean Democrats for
all offices. 1t may net come this
time for this Office holders COM
binatlOn has very powerful hold
and will be strongly defended by
office holders of both parties but
Its doom has sounded and Fusion
Ism will soon be no more.
To strengthen the probability
OF a triumph of clean government
State Chairman Ellyson has re
Gently ruled that each candidate
has the right to employ a watcher
at every presinct TO see that no
crooked work is done. Fusion
ism IS iniquitOus. 1t tends to pre-
vert popular government and to
corrupt elections and should be
abolished, May such combiua-
ton never again find favor in Vir-
ginia.
Some comment has been heard
regarding Senator Martins posi-
ton at this time as he has been
accused OF tOlerating Fusionism.
He is in position to render val
liable aid in the abolition of this
evil as the greatness of his iniluen
&C with the State Committee is
generally recognized. Let us
hope he will use it in the right
direction and at once.
Mr.. Hicks in his letter publish
ed last week does not mention
nor attempt to sustain the conten-
tons which we objected to in his
first article. Such being the case
and having no desire to enter
(unless it is necessary into con-
trOversy with 4 candidate for office |
we shall devote little time to this
subject.
Such desire to save as embar- !
rassment was never shown before |
by Mr.. Hicks when he wlote ar
tlcles opposing our views, natur-
ally therefore we do not appre-
cate his kindness in this instance
as much as we ought to.
We have never criticized MIR
