Something Doing.
There has ucon something doing in
politics in the last forty-cight hours
In Norfolk. in Richmond. in Roanoke.
in Lynchburg. and in Petersburg the
wires have been pulled. Ny friend
Cumming, who. by all rights. should
have the whiskcy vote, Is not going
TO get his dues. Some fine Italian
hand is at work. My fellow citizens
I'VE got them scared. The only way
they can beat me Ia to unite their
forces The campaign Of Cumming is
going up in smoke.
He told me how they attempted to
buildoze him and get him out Of the
race. They finally got him mad. ard
he told them In Roanoke then. when
tho machine tried to dictate who
should and who should not offer as
candidate before the people. no was
done with it.
The poor fellow don't seem to know
what they are doing 10 him. and he
continues to attack me He's dead
but he don't Know it. The fight is be-
tween Judge Williams and myself
WilIinms's Home Town.
I'm Judge Williams's home town OF
the chairman OF the Democratic COM
mittec. the superintendent of the
schools. the editor OF tho paper. and
Judge Williamss neighbor on the right
and on the left are all for me. The
chairman OF the party In the largest
county in the Southwest writes mo
that I will get 90 per cent of the vote.
In Lynchburg 600 citizens signed n pc
tition to the people OF the State to
elect me- Even those who are against
NE tell me l Will carry Grcenesvillc.
Sussex and Southampton Counties. Re-
ports from Portsmouth are that l will
carry II By 1000 votes Better still
arc the reports from the city In which
! have spent my life. At headquarters
here more than 5000 citizens have
signed cards joining the Pollard Club
the largest political club ever or
sanzed in this city. I am man of
peace hut Mr.. Cumming found out at
Lynchburg that l can fight when
have to. We can never have party
harmony in Virginia SO long as the
schools arc in politics. so long as the
iniQuitous fee system prevails. so long
as election laws pave the way for
fraud. We can all get together on the
platform of Justice and right doubt
their sincerity when they cry for party
peace. What they want is the biggest
piece"
Following Mr.. Pollard's address,
there were many cries for Lewis II.
Machen, who was in the audience. Mr..
Machen declined 10 come to the plat
form, but, mounting n chair. declared
his interest in MIR. Pollard's candidacy.
AS the occasion was a meeting of n
Pollard club he would not intrude any
remarks on his own candidacy for the
position Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
