CURRENT COMMENT
ownershin Of Monticello.

Word comes from Washington that Mrs. Peggy
O'Brien Litteton is preparing to wage more
vigorous campaign for government oWheFship VI
Thomas Jeferson's old home, Monticello, near
Charlottesville, Va, than was waged before lhe
present congress The news is not al all sur

qualities which welcome each rebuff that turns

1t will be recalled that this agitation was born

eminent diners until the conversation was on me

Mr. Littleton, with all of his subtle art and ma

time wholly fAnciful and undreamed of by others.
This favored it and that one opposed II,
and the hour passed all too soon.
Mrs Litteton fell under the influence Of her
husbands speech and from that moment she
has champoncd the movement with all the energy
and zeal Of a crusader she wrote letters to ali OF

editors and public men she sent literature CAL

represents the best thought In Virginia goes
