TRAVELLING MEN
WANT SUFFRAGE
III. J.. HARDWOOD, OF t. p. A., HAS
GREAT HOPES OF BILL
PASSING.

| NORFOLK, Nov. 21.--"The travel
! ing men of Virginia have great hopes
| OF securing the passage of their suf-
| frage bill at the coming session OF the
legislature, stated II. l.. Harwood,
State secretary of Travellers Protective
association, today.
The original bill that was first
taken up by the association was
roughly drawn and probably defective
In some respects, but the bill is now
prepared in a proper manner and we
expect to introduce it on the opening
day of the legislature. State Senator
H. c. Featherston, of Lynchburg, has
drawn the bin and he will introduce 1t.
Mr.. Featherston is an expert in the
drafting of laws and his biz will stand
the tests to which 1t will probably be
subjected.
THE travellers suffrage bill is in
tended to provide a means for travel
ing men to vote when they are neces-
sariIy absent from their voting places
on the day of election. There are
thousands of travelling statesmen in
Virginia and elections usually come
during their business period when they
are necessarily away from home. In
most instances it would be matter
of great Inconvenience as well as ex-
pei1se for tn an to return he's'e to vote,
and In many instances II would be I'M
possible.
THE result is that these men.
through no fault of their own. are
practically DISTINGUISHED and have no
say in the selection of their own Of
fcials. Tho Featherston bill viii pro-
vide a means for these men 10 vote by
mail upon the proper affidavit being
made. and sworn to and the ballot
will be counted just as theflgh 1t were
deposited in the ballot box by the voter
in person.
This move, since it originated in
Post "A in Richmond about a yeae
ago, is becoming national in scope and
other States are working on the same
system. If we can secure the adop
ton OF similar laws in most of the
States. it Is quite probable that we
could secure a national law placing
the department at the convenience of
travelling voters the ballots being de-
posted with the postmaster and for
warded under his certificate"
Mr.. Harwocd is Of the opinion that
there will be little opposition to the
bill in the legislature and that ii will
be passed at this session. i g possible
that 1t may be embodied in the new
election law that Is certain to take the
place of the present primary law,
which was passed at the last session
and is regarded by many as very de-
fective.

SUE TRUSTEES
FOR ACCOUNTING
JOHN GARLAND POLLARD ONE
OF ADMINISTRATORS OF
SCHMELZ ESTATE.

| NEWPORT NEWS. Nov. 21.-John
| Garland Pollard and Henry L.
Schmelz administrators OF the estate
of the late George A. Schmelz, have
been named as co-defendants in a
suit recently filed against them in
the Elizabeth City Circuit court by
attorneys for Mary McMenamin Shep-
herd. James and John McMenamin.
The bill calls for an accounting from
Henry l., Schmelz, their uncle. execu-
tor trustee and guardian. About
$50 900 is involved in the litigation
and the complaintants. object in bring
ing the suit is to have an accounting
of the transactions of the defendants
from 1901 to August %, 1919, the
date upon which the youngest Nc
Menamin came of age.
1t is alleged by the complantants
that they had no knowledge Of the
management nor the expenses Of the
estate until on August %, 1919. when
Henry l.. Schmelz, the surviving exc
cuter of the estate presented them
with a receipt acknowledging sS3,-
710.T2 represented by certain securi-
ties, and asked that they sign it. In
their bill the plaintiffs charge that
upon examination they found that the
securities delivered them bore very
low interest and were of uncertain
market value. 1t Is further charged
that the trustees had never loaned
money Of the estate, but had placed
the entire amount in these low in
terest bearing bonds, and that in most
cases these bonds were purchased
from the firm of Schmelz Brothers of
the Bank OF Hampton or the First
National Bank of Hampton, an insti-
tuition under the control of the trus-
tees.
AS yet the defendants in the case
have not filed their answer to this
bill Of allegations, but they will do so
in the near future and In their reply
denial will be made of all allegations
and charges that are made by the
plaintiffs.
