Trenton, n. j., Aug. 3).-Governor

Some persons think 1t would be
good policy to let the matter rest I'M

would be plenty Of time to call tne
legislature together If the Repubi-
cans should control the next house. IN
case the Democrats continued to con
troll the house again next year or maze
gains in the senate, the redistrictins
Of the state could be left to the next
legislature.
Owing to the fact that the Repuoli-
cans now control the senate and the
Democrats hold the house, a gerry
mander at a special session would De
impossible. The Democratic mousse
might seek to divide the state TO favor

SWANSON
OPENS CAMP Align
Addressed Great Gathering in
Brunswick County.
REPLIES TO cRITICISMS--ETC, ETC.

Senator Claude A. Swanson Monday
fred the opening gun in his campaign,
His address was incident TO great
barbecue given by the Democrats OF
Brunswick, at which were gathered
about |, 600 voters. Senator Swanson
delivered his address with all his old
time fire. He was received with great
enthusiasm.
After a review of his record as Con-
gresham and as Governor, Senator
Swanson took up in turn the various
criticisms directed at him during the
campaign by his opponent. A large
portion of his remarks was devoted TO
q discussion of the States finances.
According to Mr.. SwansOn's figures,
he left an actual balance in the treas
ury when he retired from the governor
ship, larger than that left by his pre-
decessor, Gov. Montague.
His defense of the charges regarding
his purchase of the American Tobacco
Company stock was along the lines
heretofore published. In return, he
charged that Mr.. Glass is a director in
national bank while member of the
Currency Committee Of the House Of
Representatives, claiming that this
puts him in a position to advance the
banking interests by his vote in Con-
gress.
The actions of Mr.. Glass while a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton were attacked, reference being
made to alleged deal by which the
Lynchburg Congressman gave to his
friend, J. H. Lindsay, of Charlottes-
vile, the contract to edit the debates
of the convention while Mr.. Lindsay
was also a member of the Printing
Committee. The latter is said to have
received 1920 for this work on vouch-
ers approved by Mr.. Glass, while l.. s.
Marye is credited with doing most Of
the work for $500, and is quoted as say
ing that he would have done it all for
$500. -
Mr.. Swanson explained the bill re-
garding .he N. & w. cutoff at Lynch
burg, calling attention to the support
given the measure by the Legislature.
He replied to Mr.. Glass reference to
the Post Office Department scandals,
claiming that the attitude Of the mem
bers of Congress concerned was vindi-
Gated years ago.
He denied the charge that he bargain
ed for Senatsr Daniels seat before the
death Of the Lame Lion.
