Grand Secretary III.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 6.-Grand Sec
:etary Wiley T. Davis, Of the Vlr-
;:ina Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows,
and one Of the best known and most
GENERALLY beloved members Of that or
der in the state is at deaths door.
AT a late hour last night reports
from the sick mans bedside were to
the effect that he had suffered SINK
inr spell earlier in the night and at
tending physicians had advised that
members of the family remain close
1T hand. He rallied slightly; later his
heart action warned the physicians
that death was not afar.
Secretary Davis was seized with his
present illness several days ago and
has rapidly lost ground. 1t is tacit-
" admitted that in view OF his ad-
-.anced age recovery is hardly to bf
expected. and, in fact, the ebblng
sands of life. may flow out at any
moment.
Mr. Davis has been secretary OF
tho Grand Lodge, l. 0. 0. f, for
tbirtv-seven years, and an Odd Eel
low for over so years, and no man
in this state has done. more for the
diva ncenent Of Odd Fellowship. Hli
passing, even though anticipated, will
come Is a distinct shock to Virginia
Odd Fellows.

Despite the fact that 1T is too early
and too hot to agitate, and despite the
fact that the people have displayed u
keen aversion to getting into the thick
of the political muddle, the ubiquitous
politician is still at the bat.
With the exception of constant rum
blings, veiled threats and obscure prom
ises from the others, Captain Hobson is
the only candidate for the spoils of fat
office who is conducting an active
campaign. Inasmuch, however, as ii
becomes more and more apparent with
each pa assing day that Senator Johnston
will be returned for another term, the
prediction has been made that the hero
of the Merrimac will in the early future
take rest.
Governor Conner is at the present
Seed is indulging in desultory firing.
Charles Henderson, Reuben +. Ko1b and
John H. Wallace are silently maneuver-
Ing. 1t is the lull before the storm, and
Alabamians, despite their unwillingness
to share in the general melee, will be
persuaded willy nilly before the con-
clusion of the year.
Plans to Beat Conner
lip to the present moment, it is ap-
parent that the public generally con-
sjders Mr. Conner the strongest candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomination
1t is generally believed, however. that
the determination of Mr. Seed to re-
main in the race. will cut the vote of
the Nrmer governor practically one
third. There Is every indication, too
that before the conclusion of twelve
month, Mr. Conner will have grown
weaker, not stronger Already he is

having 80 men whipped at one time for not

Mr. Greer says, But the convict de-
partment Is a revenue raiser for the state.
Is Mammon, is greest- the only standpoint
from which this question must be viewed?
If 1t is, then the more people we get in
the penitentiary the richer will the state
become. If this is the correct view, then
let us fill the mines, the lumber and tur-
pentine camps of the state to oyerflowing
with our fellow men, and these of us
fortunate enough to escape can live on
their toll and privation.
I'VE are really grateful to AIR. Greer
for his Interview We trust they will
become numerous. II he will give out
few more he will perform for us our
task. In our cause we can use him to
great advantage as a labor saver. He is
doing our work better than we can do il.

on the defensive whereas he was for
insistence that the railroad rate issue
is the issue, despite the decision of the
supreme court in the Minnesota case,
indicates that he realizes his necessity
of keeping up the old agitation.
The anti-Comer strength, If central
lied, will it is probable defeat the
former governor, whereas if divided
between Henderson, Kolb and Wallace
will avail very little. Therefore, 1t is
currently understood that an effort is
underway at the present time having
for its object the voluntary retirement
of several of the candidates at present
in the field.
Rate Issue Is Dead
Among recent developments, the most
notable perhaps was the admission of
every candidate, save Conner, that the
rate issue cannot in justice prove the
real issue in the impending campaign.
Mr.. Seed, Mr.. Wallace and Mr. Kolb
are thoroughly agreed. Mr.. Henderson,
who started the fight in Alabama for
lower freight and passenger rates and
wrote unassisted the bill which created
the railroad commission a body of
strength and value, agrees in part.
There is no question" he said in a
recent interview with The Age-Herald
iSPoi ttI, DuI tndl DIS u result VI the
decision of the supreme court, the rail-
road rate issue cannot endure as the
real issue in gubernatorial campaigns
in Alabama. 1t becomes, as a matter of
fact, the issue in campaigns for presl-
dent of the railroad commission" j.
Lee Long, who is as actively identified
with railroad rate reform in Alabama
as Is either Mr.. Conner or Mr.. Henderson
and who will in all probability, be q
candidate for governor, thinks the man
doomed who hinges his campaign en-
tirely on a continuation of the old bat
ties which were settled when the su-
preme court spoke.
But not so with Mr.. Conner. 1.-THE de-
cision," he told The Age Herald, "can
have no effect on the campaign, and
certainly none on my platform 1t
merely means that my contentious
through all the years were correct
Conner and Prohibition
1t is considered by the bulk of the
people true that Mr.. Conner must cling
to the railroad rate issue. He cannot
create furore by pleading for rural
education. He has never been an ag-
gressive campaigner in the interest of
good roads. His record in regard to
prohibition is not considered sufficient
1y consistent to make him the standard
bearer of the "purists."

That Illinois coal operators burdened

satisfied local miners and often spies

We're paying spies and organizers to come
